could you make a tight fitting cover / plug out of high density foam board with a neoprene gasket? The neoprene would go all the way around the plug and make contact between it and the vertical wall of the hatch.

Not exactly what you are looking for. Similar to a hub drive and uses hand throttle. Appears to add less than 10lbs and is way cheaper than a Ebike. Looks cool because the system snaps on and off. How well it works I have no idea. https://bimotal.com

Have you been camping this winter is sub freezing temperatures? Can you confirm whether CPT corner extrusions are exhibiting any thermal bridging condensation or frost?

That's cool. I looked up the weight of bamboo plywood and did a how many jellybeans in the jar guess and it was really close to your calculation.

Looks like you have removed a lot of material in non structural areas to shed weight. Could you also rout out / thin some of the panels down to 3/16" in unseen locations like the inside of the boxes or backs of doors? It would be like old furniture panel construction utilizing a solid frame...

Nice. I used autodesk mechanical desktop for a few years, Inventor for 10 yrs, Solidworks for 15yrs. Fusion looks cool. I'll check it out. Have you selected your plywood? What is the overall calculated weight of the cabinets?

Wow. That's a lot of detail. What modeling program did you use? Do you have a CNC router?

In that vain, everyone should take a physical like the FAA does for a pilots license along with a performance driving test, IQ and factor in standing on social media. The world isn't black and white and there are a lot of incompetent drivers on the road. Safety is relative and cant be isolated...

I think we established Canadians have a different set of rules and that engineers are mutants and most people cant wrap their head around them. Side note. Lets talk about exploding Pintos.

Do you plan to tow anything with this rig?

Looking forward to following your build. Sounds very close to what I ultimately want to do. We recently winter camped in our trailer for 3 days running lights, diesel heater and cooler fridge and used 25% of a 200AH battery. Not sure on induction cooker but you could have a single burner 1lb...

Reading the recall. I'm not sure amputate is the right word since a cooler is not a surgeon. Must have been written by AI. Anyway, looking at the product photos and guessing where the troublesome spot is, it would appear that someone would have to put a finger in the hole near the hinge on the...

Sounds like your flatbed and spring mounts have been a successful solution. I think you would have noticed any issues when swapping it over. How many miles on it? Any significant off road twisting? What is your takeaway on electrical? 800w solar and 600ah battery seems like a lot. We recently...
