Please see Robgray.com as he built both his 6x6 motorhomes (Wothahellizat version 1 and 2) using steel frame and aluminum diamond plate skin. If I remember correctly the 1st version used VHB tape and is detailed in his version 1 build diary #23. He was removing the skin and shortening the...

I was going to post in the members section except per the rules if you have less than 50 posts you are considered a business. I am definitely not a business. I do thank people for their interest but the truck and camper just SOLD today. *******SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD*********

2010 Four Wheel Camper and 2003 4x4 Dodge Dakota for sale that I purchased when they were new. This is my truck and camper and they are located in Oak Harbor, WA. I'm selling them as a package for $10,000. Prior to retiring I mainly camped in the national forests near Seattle. Now, I'm not...

In July, Truck Camper Magazine awarded the 2014 Best Modification to Charlie and Jeannie Coushaine for installing a laser system to help guide the truck while loading a camper ( http://www.truckcampermagazine.com/camper-tech/2014-top-mod-contest-winner ). You can watch the video and see that...

Rob Gray, Back in 2011 they had two earlier posts explaining their construction methods in the pop-up section. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/58224-Making-my-Uro-Camper-Kubic-1-0?highlight=tribu...

Not mine and I have no connection to the owner. Last time I saw this ad he was asking around $29,500. From the photos the trailer looks comfortable and the diesel truck looks capable. http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rds/rvs/3979293853.html

My understanding is that during an ocean crossing these self-righting boats might be rolled many times and sometimes even pitch-poled, rolled end for end. The Ocean Rowing Society has boats for sale, some are marine plywood/epoxy fiberglass construction...

Maybe some of you have seen this before but their RoomBox highTech has these features. "The RoomBox® highTech is a "Full Comfort System" integrating all the modules to cook, eat, sleep, shower & wash." http://www.swissroombox.com/swissroombox-roombox-hightech.html I've also never seen a roof...

IdaSHO, Regarding adhesion to XPS polystyrene please take a look at the link I posted to boatdesign.net as pcfithian was very positive about using 3M's Fastbond 30 water based contact cement as it "Because it allows for an instant bond between the foam and the thin luan plywood skin." (quoted...

IdaSHO, After re-reading your question I now see you were just looking at using rigid foam for thermal insulation, not for any structural core. My thoughts have been so locked on how to use rigid foam as a structural core and how to quickly, cheaply get a skin to cover it that my answer was...

XPS Polystyrene Forgot that the teardrop trailer people are heavily into DIY trailers with XPS polystyrene. They call them Foamies http://www.tnttt.com/viewforum.php?f=55

Extruded Polystyrene (XPS polystyrene) The expert here is Pods8. His build thread and design thread are both posted under the pop-up section. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/58926-POD-Homebuilt-foam-core-fiberglass-skin-pop-up-camper-build-thread...

StyroSpray 1000 http://www.industrialpolymers.com/category/product-list/styrospray-product-list/ Pods8, Saw this coating product mentioned in the teardrop trailer forum under the Foamies section and thought of your project. Apparently the primary benefits versus fiberglass and epoxy are the...

Hadn't seen this before. http://johnosoriobuck.com/UtopiaEight.htm (made by John Osorio Buck) is a homemade cabover truck camper and from the photos it appears to be displayed in an art gallery. Doesn't appear that it was ever used as a camper, just as an art project.

Although this shower is meant for a small bathroom in an apartment this is an interesting French solution as the whole shower, including the shower pan, quickly folds-up against the wall, but still captures all the drips while drying. http://www.supiot.fr/presentation.php Could add a vertical...

Some interesting designs of folding trailers (folding caravans) from Europe: Gobur caravan and Pennine caravan are both popup roof designs with four hard sides see trade show video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYbpTW3gkYk&feature=related...

Thank you Tribu.

Tribu, From your website, uro-camper.com, under the tab titled Tecnica Empleada, a photo shows your floor design has now changed to two lower layers of NidaCore then plywood covered by the rubber mat material. The photo of your typical wall joint shows the two wall panels joined and the...

I'm still not fully understanding the difference between polyurea and polyurethane but Line-X.com apparently does both coatings. For a coating a camper I would be looking for something water-tight, impact resistant, abrasion resistant, UV resistant, and strength holding the structure together...
