Wow ignorance is bliss...or flipping deadly
Ive always been nervous to sleep beside anything other then an electric heater, the plan was to use it only to heat up before bed and maybe in the morning and only when absolutely necessary which would be everyday when winter camping
I opted for the...
Thanks for response that is reassuring to know my heater element couldn’t be trashed already :S i will try moving the alarm further away from the heater for some more tests and reinspect the heater in a dark room like you say before i throw in the towel and ship it to the manufacturer
And...
Thanks for reply,
Ya the sniffer I used is an MX6, and yes it was LEL I was measuring , my trailer is a small teardrop style with the heater in the front and center facing the rear and the safe-t-alert is on a control panel door adjacent to the heater...on the front wall facing the back, it is...
So i bought one of these things about 6 years ago when i started building my camper so that i could have it handy to design the trailer
I rigged it up and confirmed no leaks before this winter and upon a couple times using and testing it recently the LPP alarm on my safe-t-alert would sound...
Trailer Jack!
This is my third one i had a cheap Powerfist one that i got because i like the way it stowed away under the trailer and it was sturdy enough to sleep/use the trailer without being hitched to truck, but it broke
Next one was a fairly standard side mount one that swung up and down...
It was definitely not cheaper, 200$ more in the end...reason is; rhino rack used to have the “foxwing” instead and I had been saving some cash and really wanting to get it and when it came time I got on the Canadian website and it was no longer available/discontinued. I panicked and went to...
The awning is great, it’s a rhinorack foxwing, i ordered it directly form the USA site, there is a right hand side version and a left hand side version and the sent me the wrong side at first, which they admitted was a a total screw up on their end they shipped me a new one with a box to return...
Yes that is the first order of business! Got the hangers cut out already, there has already been a crack in the backward hanger welds that i have repaired once so far

Sorry for delayed response the sidewall is 4x8 sheet of plywood with 3 out of 4 of the corners cut off to make it less “boxy” more aerodynamic all the angles you see are 45’s to make things easy, not sure of the measurements of the cut out off hand but if u are seriously interested you can...
Apologies for the hiatus, i have finished the rig, upgrades and repairs to follow I’m sure but ive been out with it about 10 times this summer, fishing/climbing/surfing/drinking it has passed my tests I’ll attach some road trip photos
Here you can see the extra post in front of the fender which i have plans to cradle a spare tire
Far from done this box and its components but its a good start
Vent close to PD battery charger to keep it cool and a 110 shoreline inlet for it
Another vent on the opposite side to promote...
I can see the finish
Don’t mind the nasty looking aluminum, scratched/scuffed/smudged, it was inevitable having scratches transporting/ having the metal shop guys bending it in a break, mounting it all by myself was awkward too :S
Ive been doing a lot of research on airstream forums about...
