Bowen Customs Truck Camper Bed Installation

It's been designed and fabricated. Now it's time to install our Bowen Customs truck bed with modular storage boxes and remount our Avion truck camper.
Along with our work on our truck camper, we are also upgrading our 2015 Ram 3500 tradesman truck. It may have started as a basic work truck but we have added a winch, fender flairs, and tiedown system to begin its conversion into an overland beast.

How much does your RV weigh? We check at the truck stop CAT Scales and track the change as we renovate our vintage 1970 Avion C11 truck camper.
We are getting bigger tires, but the spare won't fit in the factory mount. Should we install new storage, mod our current holder, or get creative?
We love truck campers. Their size, flexibility, and convenience had us sold long before we found our 1970 Avion C11 slide in. But there is one very notable downside: storage. Sure, we already knew our camper would be on the small side. But, there’s a lot of potential storage lost where the camper body cuts in to make room for the truck bed’s wheel wells and walls. That actually adds up quite a bit of unused empty space (how much, we’ll get into later)
