Nice build , I owned a 97 2500 for 7 years until gas hit a buck a liter. Sold it to my dad who hauls a Bigfoot camper with it now. That vintage of Ram is a real solid truck and I have no doubts it will treat you well.

I work for Chrysler.... The old reliable 5.2 and 5.9 are almost indestructible. I have a fresh 5.9 sitting on a stand to drop in. Crane RV Cam and a few other light Mods as well as Bosch Injectors and
a better ignition system are already done. The 5.2 in the truck is just broken in....218,000 km'sSo maybe this winter I will swap them out..... I'm not really worried about the mileage even though Regular Gas
is now $1.38 per liter here in BC....... I only live 1/2 a mile from work so I don't really use the truck until the weekends. Give a wave if you're driving around.... I live in South Surrey....Near the Keg....

Finally Started my "Chuck Box/Camp Kitchen" ..... Made the front drop down door with two 12" slides/ One cutting board and
one regular extension so when the lid is down I have 36" + 24" of counter.... 5 feet!!!
The interior is getting some sliding drawers on the left side, and the right side above the stove is getting a custom organizer. I
will post once completed.

Pretty nice setup. I like the camp kitchen idea, will be making one for my trailer... albeit a smaller version. I really dig the battery and power setup, nice and clean with the sealed batteries. What power inverter is that one? I have a Motomaster 1000 watt as well for the trailer, but it looks like I have the lower end one? Yours is the True Sine or Modified Sine one?
Again, nice kit!
