Just curious — is the 1400# fully loaded or just camper, water and interior build. Does it also include your truck mods too?

Did your rear bug screen come with the camper or did you source it separately? If separately would you mind sharing where from?

Hey @donniefitz2 — just came across this and thought it was a great idea. Tried the link and it didn’t work — say’s can’t redeem the code? Does your offer still stand? I downloaded the app, just wondering if I can get in on the longer than one week trial.

At one point I tracked the various electrical draws in my build and made notes. Amazingly, I found them on my phone, so maybe that’ll help. I used the readout from my Victron shunt on the battery and just turned things on and off one at a time. Camper Electric draw (amps) Smart shunt and...

@Fergie — I did something similar that may help?. Haven’t used Unistrut, but it’s awfully similar to the Toyota bed rails and I know they have track nuts. I needed to securely attach 80/20 to my bed rails to hold my bench seat. Used some slide in Tnuts for the Toyota bed rail, and then drilled...

Kudos on one of the best researched, written and clearly laid out build plan threads I’ve seen on this site!

Haha! They are a PITA for fitting the coroplast — especially curved edges, but you’ll love ‘em soon! Its looking good!

Do Ridgelines still have those tapered/diagonal sloping bedsides? Prolly can kiss a camper goodbye on those, I would think?

Thanks, that’s helpful to know. For someone building around the Dometic jug(s) that’s clearly the best way to go. For my purposes, I’m just going to stick with the one dongle I made for the Dometic jug since all the other connectors in my system are the PLC version and I have already have two...

This ⬆️ Here’s how I fit mine. It also helps to trim the ends and top corners of the wood lip. Sorry, it’s the best picture I have on hand.

Amazing rig! I would literally buy it today if I wasnt 6’3” with a bad back and could stand up straight in it 🤨🙁. GLWS!

Internal fiberglass looks like a good solution for you. Yeah, linseed oil isnt gonna be your friend! Try wiping with mineral spiriits to clean it. A great, simple natural color finish is wipe on poly. It basically polyurethane cut with 50% mineral spirits that you apply with a rag. It...

I have a queen sized classic striped Pendelton that my parents had before I was born, so it’s at least 73 years old and still in great shape, and it wasn’t just stored away. It’s been used every winter. Pretty sure it will last longer than me!

Thanks! I do that out of years of habit and trial and error anyway. Definitely works until I get too much heat. Can’t seem to make eggs work that way though. ☹️
