Not a skoolie, but...
Hi,
I'm from Quebec and I will be converting my military truck into a camper. So I will have a few questions
Here's the beast
Thanks
JC

Neat, seems like a box body in the bed would be great and not mess with the original truck. If there is a desire to keep it mostly original.

I was very impressed with this build.
He used a modified shipping container for the box.

That’s my plan. And I’m in contact with him. But I should be a bit longer with frame extension [emoji15]

Might want the rear axle a bit more forward of what you show in your drawing. Seems it would be light on the rears and heavy on the front as draw. Although most likely within the weight limit of the front axle. Better turning radius too the more forward you can do the rears.

I do have a CTIS fully functional. It’s good for sand and off-road driving [emoji2957]

We have a big problem here in Quebec. The government put a new regulation in place last fall for all ex-military vehicle. We cannot use roads that have a speed limit of more than 70 km/h. It’s not because we are not able [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]
So, at the moment, I cannot do my camper with my 5 tons
I there somebody who can help me in getting this truck registered in Ontario or an other province ?
What do I need for that ?
Thanks
JC

Even if registered in another province it seems that Quebec would not allow it ?
I guess I am thinking of here in the states, each state has highway laws, and many ate reciprical, but some are not. An example would be triple trailers for tractor trailers. Some states allow them and some do not. So you have to unhook the extra and ferry trailers where not allowed to have three. It does not matter where the truck is registered.
I hope you can find a way around it.
