    Carbon Fiber Tacoma Bed Replacement Camper - Build Thread

    A long time ago I built foundry tooling for Marco marine products using similar methods. Would you consider gelcoat in the future instead of paint? Also if you were to do it again would you have the master CNC machined? A company in the PNW Janicki does a lot of plugs for marine and aerospace.

    Star (Northstar) Composite Campers

    Hard to say much without knowing the construction details. On the Comet model, it looks like one of the windows on the driver side is too close to where the front wall intersects the nose. How is that long nose structurally supported? If they put aluminum beams in the matrix, there will be...

    UJOR composite box truck conversion

    I liked the initial box truck conversion build U-Joint did a few years ago for a few reasons. The hard-wall construction makes for a bullet proof exterior. The inside can be insulated with foam board. Securing interior build components is more forgiving for DIY. Don't have to build composite...

    Propane Basics For Build

    Your camper is pretty sweet. Don't sell it short. If it were mine, I'd apply a little turd polish. I bet you would get the money back out when sell it.

    Propane Basics For Build

    Well then. Get a free pile of bricks and some oven mitts or welding gloves. Stack the bricks around the fire and when your ready to go to bed, pile them up on another layer of bricks in the camper for radiant heat all night.

    Propane Basics For Build

    NFPA 1192 5.4.6.1 All fuel burning appliances have to be vented outside except stoves and ovens. I've used catalytic heaters and think they have their place. IMO a catalytic heater is fine for taking the edge off a cold shoulder season morning or evening with vents and windows open. The use...
