Dodge 4500/5500 motor home

[Shadrach]

I remember back in the 90's there was an RV company that made a motor home on a 3500 Dodge truck chassis. Does any know of anything made on a modern ( 2007+ ) Dodge/Ram 4500/5500 chassis? I'm taking a Class C style like you see on E450 Ferds but with a real engine under the hood Or like this one but in a Dodge

Jayco makes a Seneca Super C using a Freightliner chassis, Cummins 6.7 and an Allison transmission. Prices start in the $175,000 range.

I found this site today. Not only do they do the Freightliner chassis Super C but the do it on a Dodge 5500 as well, and if you want you can get it in 4X4 form.

That isata5 is pretty neat. I wonder if there's enough room to get to the head with the forward slide all the way in (underway)?

Also found that these people have several models available with a Ram 5500 chassis http://www.bornfreerv.com

I have a dually with a camper which is great for camping but is an inefficient use of space because the camper has to slide into the box. I thought someone would make a bolt-on camper; start with a C&C and add living space. So far, not much except EarthRoamer. Much of my camping is still off-road and forest service and primitive sites. I'd like a little more room than a camper but some 30' motorhome just isn't going to make it back to civilization from where I camp.

The original EarthRoamer was built on a Dodge chassis but all the current ones are Ford.

(It turns out some companies do make "flatbed campers" like this Northstar American Hero.)

Pirate4x4 has a thread on flatbed camper pictures.

Some interesting units on those sites. I am familiar with EarthRoamer having followed him since his beginnings. I saw one last summer here in Alberta. How about this one: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/dodge/966138-1977-dodge-class-motorhome-cummins-4x4.html or this one: http://offroadaction.ca/2010/01/15/1975-woodsman-4x4-rv/
