I started with 35 lb struts (the strongest OVRLND had at the time I bought the camper), then I switched to 45 lb struts when I added solar and a couple of Maxtrax to the roof. I recently put 65lb struts on the back when I added two more Maxtrax. I kept 45 lb struts on the front. It works...
I did put the stronger gas struts on the hatch myself. I'll look and see if I can find the size and strength. However, since you are ordering new, I would just ask Jay to put stronger than normal struts on. It is the cold weather here in Idaho coupled with the large Tern Overland window that...
I know I am in the minority here, but I have a hatch and have no desire to switch to barn doors. Several people commented on the lack of barn doors in my build, but my wife and I really like the flip up hatch. I can easily stick long items out the back and even bungy the hatch tight against the...
If you are talking about the interior walls, they are just 12"x12" carpet tiles over rigid foam. I like the carpet for the walls, but i f I had to do over again, I would probably put carpet over a 1/4" sheet of wood and attach that to the walls.
The drawer faces and boxes are aluminum. Friends of mine made them. We went with all aluminum for weight and space savings. Non-drawer cabinets are plywood with melamine.
I get the "more eye appealing" comment for the outside. But you can certainly make the interior more comfortable and eye appealing in my opinion. Here is what we did for the interior. Now when we see big name slide-in campers, they don't seem as comfortable to us for how we use our rig. Good...
I just trimmed 3/16" off one side of my slide to make it easier to use given my carpeted walls. Very easy. Circular saw and a guide. The front wood piece unscrews easily, but there is a piece of angle aluminum on the front. The screws go through that piece. You might be better off trimming off...
Mine is a one-off prototype made by friends, but they have since decided to offer them more widely and I'm sure they could make something similar for you. Top notch quality.

Here are a few photos of the furnace. It is mounted to the framing. A friend of my did the install. He is an authorized dealer for Truma. Check out AT Overland toppers for similar Truma installs. The Varioheat furnace works well by the way. I slept in 12F and was comfortable.
