Still available! I will be driving it back to Western Europe at the end of April in prep for US shipping in June. Available to deliver anywhere in Europe prior to then.

I am the original owner of a KTM 1290 Super Adventure R. I bought it in Reno, NV in October of 2019 and shipped it to Europe where I have used it for mostly road touring. Shipping it back to the US is quite expensive with post-pandemic prices so I am looking to sell it and buy another in the US...

I think that the utility bed is already mounted on a 3 point system, but I'm not sure. I used RP45 VHB tape. Looking at the spec sheet is nearly identical as the more expensive options.

Thanks for the tips! I'm going to use a mix of wool and rmax panels for my insulation. I figured I can probably afford the extra few hundred pounds since its on a 550. I still think its probably way lighter than wood framed monsters. Its all 1/8 wall 2x2 tube.

Its my first build and i am not an engineer, but my thought is that it provides quite a bit of structural support and effectively acts as gussets.

Currently it's just vhb, but I'm probably going to rivet all the corner edges and then use sika flex and 2" aluminum angle to trim it and seal it. The vhb has a shear/tensile strength of like 80psi, which with 1" strip x the permiter of each panel is close to 20k lbs.

Finally got siding, cut, and mounted this weekend. Ended up going with 3030 series 0.090" alum sheet. Stuck on with 3M RP45 VHB. I am planning to also rivet the edges, and then cap with a 2" angle aluminum. Not the easiest job so far but about 30 hours of work from receiving sheet metal to...

I'm not that worried about the temp exchange from the frame to cabinets. They will be covered with plywood.

Since I'm already doing so much aluminum welding, I decided I will do my cabinet frames in 1"x1" 0.125" aluminum tube, welded directly to the skeleton. I'll be using either VHB or Rivnuts to attach wood paneling to these frames. This goes surprisingly quick now that material arrived. Here's my...

I just sold my ambulance! The toolboxes are a huge part of why I started with this instead of a flatbed. Yes - its a hobart 190 with the spool gun. Works great - highly reccommended. Took a bit to get use to the speed required for aluminum spool gunning, but it works very well. I might buy...

Thanks Scott - who is your norcal supplier? I am in Reno.

Do you have a link for an online supplier of the ACM? I came across ACM since my post but struggling to find one that will ship. The "seaboard" 0.250 HDPE sheet is also ~$100 / panel, but it seems like riveting (or rivnuts) and caulking interior seams may be the best attachment method. I think...

Nope. I cut the front toolbox out and the utility body down to make that space. The rear opening will be a ramp door/deck, toyhauler style.

Hi all, I'm new here. Anyways - been working on an F550 build and figured I would share some pics and ask some questions. I originally had a line on some exteremely discounted 0.090" aluminum sheeting I was going to use to skin this beast, but alas that fell through - and now I am looking at...
