Does anyone know where I can get plans for a sleeper for a standard size truck (Ford F150) I know they are usually fiberglass. Been looking all over the internet and the only place is in Texas and that is a little far for me.. Thanks in advance

I'd like to have one made out of Diamond Plate and then blue foam insulation and something on the inside I need to be able to haul a quad with my truck that's why the Aluminum think it is possible cause I don't have the skill for something like this so I might have to source it out

Depends on what you want to do.

how big, long, how many people, skills and tools, time and a place you can build it at.

this is an old one but it gives the basics. I almost made one like this. made a trailer instead.

It would be a little bit of a trip for you, shipping might be an option. If you were going to IRG I could pick it up and bring it with me.
