I need a better spotter . Think he was looking at the camera to much ? LOL
Truck got a little un-settled and the tires are old on the front so I didn't push it.

Seeing that it has not sold I have been thinking about the side boxes. What about building them out of marine plywood and covering them with 6oz. glass ? Maybe 3 layers and some seam tape.
Would keep the weight down and would be water tite.
Also thinking about making it one pic. Would go from one side to the other. Maybe a slide tray in the bottom ?

I am suspect about using marine ply and fiberglass. In my experience it doesn’t save significant weight and the downside for maintenance is too high. What about using a steel frame and aluminum sheet with Sikaflex adhesive to join the 2. That is what some of the main structure of the ambulance body I have in Australia is done from and it is very strong and durable.

Hi, OZ
Me being a "Boat" guy.( Building Boats) Its easy and if I don't like it I can just make something else.
Looked at Alum and Steel and just feel it can also be done with glass. Also was thinking it could be repaired easier in the field. But I maybe wrong ? Also been looking a other cores to use. But $$$ a sheet.
Will build some prototype boxes and see how it goes. The cool part will be how they mount. They all will be able to be removed if needed. On the semi they are very hard to remove. Won't do that again.
Any body try using a split A/C unit with a 2K genset ? I have 16.7 amp's and some of the 115V systems are listed at 15 amp's. I can go to the 3K (cheep ***) but I have a 2K and like it.
