I can explain this later. My build has a different attachment to the habitat than most US builders. My build has a subframe under the habitat floor. (the floor suspends 40 mm above the xps panel inside the living area) Then a mirror frame under the XPS panel floor (exposed below). A sandwich...

This is what I see

Notice how Earthroamers hang way over the rear axle.

Here is this Australian much longer build on my wheelbase (point of comparison)

Here is this Australian build on the shorter wheelbase (point of comparison)

This is the area where the rear spring brackets must attach. We have created the subframe extension to reach this location. Now we need to solve the attachment engineering as we struggle with the factory crossmember hardware. ( always something) Note: Our truck frame is 6 inches longer than...

Can you confirm these are used under the bolt head, and not before the nut?

Does anyone have experience with Nord-Lock Wedge Lock Washers

Use MDF, make a mold. Wax it good. Use fiberglass and make your own corners.

And I do much of the solution engineering where practical and analyze multiple constructs to achieve a desired output. I do use a select group of skilled professional as I do not have my own shop. A few times a compromise is required, such as the size of my shower. And a few more. I was lucky...

So much in this industry is overpriced by 400%. Its a real challenge to conceive and build functionality for reasonable expenses.

Considering a second spare tire. Just the rubber. When you get a flat, and if there is sidewall damage a new tire may be required. Theses tires can be 5 days to two weeks wait for purchases. Carrying an extra, just the rubber can be cheap insurance .

My storage box cost 82% less than this

Disagree. The buyer behavior changes over time like ocean waves. If US GDP sits at over 4% for 12 months, folks will start spending big money again. Look at the catamaran market. Its the same as the Earthroamer, both over $500,000.
