Added Composite Structural Support - Roof Not a huge deal, but I thought I would mention it because of a few encounters I had. My roof is technically solid, no structural/load issues with my current design and what will be going on the roof. But…….., I had a little itch (what I might call a...

Interior Coating - Carbon Fiber Composite Camper Sanding complete! Vacuumed everything, blew it out, vacuumed again and then gave everything several thorough wipe downs. A little masking here, some taping there and finally it was time to get some coating down. A two-part epoxy based marine...

Sorry you went through some similar pain ITTOG. The effort and patience required for good paint prep is no joke. My hat goes off to all of those who do it for a living. Thanks! "Just keep moving forward" is still my mantra on this beast of a project.

Interior Paint - Carbon Fiber Composite Camper - Continued...... Since I'm a Pre-fessional, I used guide coat for the 320 and 400 grit sand. This is prior to the 320 pass. I wanted to make sure that I didn't over sand anything. I was surprised at how much I actually needed to sand, in order...

Interior Paint - Carbon Fiber Composite Camper - Continued...... Homemade camper sanding booth: I taped off all the windows and pushed air in through the skylight and sucked it out through the vent fan cutout in the bathroom ceiling/roof. I installed double filters on the outlet air, one at...

Interior Paint - Carbon Fiber Composite Camper - Continued...... Well, I think I need to crank the PITA x 4 up to a PITA x 5 for the interior paint. The saga continues..... 🤯. About 3 or 4 days after dropping the camper off at the paint shop, I got an email. They basically wanted just under...

Thank trackhead :). I know what you mean by the "Glad you're still at it", but I'm not sure I am :LOL:! I'll keep cranking on it until I reach that da(😩)mn finish line.

Interior Paint - Carbon Fiber Composite Camper Straight from rigging the camper at the LINEX shop and into the paint booth for the interior paint. When I first visited their site, they had a huge yacht in the booth. It's hilarious to see my dinky little camper and a small ski boat in there 😆...

LINEX - Exterior of Truck & Camper - Complete I snapped some quick pics. The lighting is not the greatest and we were in a hurry to beat an incoming rain storm (2 hour drive from the LINEX shop to the interior paint shop). Rigging the camper and transporting the steel-camper-stand around on a...

Three long years and still counting :oops:🤯............🤣. Thanks Fly fisherman; more to come.

Thanks Blowby!

LINEX - Spraying Exterior of Truck & Camper - Continued...... We're moving along well 🤜🤛! Erin and I had to bounce down to the LINE-X shop, mid process, to rig the camper on the truck. We wanted to make sure that the rocker panel lines on the truck and camper matched perfectly. The decision...

Thanks Roam Wild! Yah, I spent a ton of time making sure the shop I chose could: get the LINEX on smoothly and consistently, avoid any alignment/rub issues of factory components (doors, fenders, hood.....) and prevent any factory weather stripping/seals from being negatively impacted. These...

Thanks Expo Mike! The LINEX shop is working hard.

LINEX - Spraying Exterior of Truck & Camper Here are a few pics of the initial process: Since the seals on the windows need a flat surface, we had to hold back the LINEX around all six of the windows on the camper. Not a big deal, but just some extra time and effort to keep everything...
