It was more than enough. I have a pretty good amount of the roll left over.

I've been in the same loop. We want to get a larger camper. Family of 3, we want a cab with 4 doors for the next 10 years or so. At some point a smaller cab and bigger camper would be a better setup but that's too far down the road to think about. No need to reinvent the wheel. I'm pretty sure...

Exterior floor length 8'6". Armchair quarterbacking I'd say that would be more suited for a long bed that supports the entire length of the floor. Probably could work on a short bed but better on a long bed.

What length bed is that camper designed for? I would want to make sure it is adequately supported and weight balanced. The CG should also be marked on the camper for reference.

There's another factor to consider. If your selling a late model DIY, the buyer will most likely need to bring cash because a bank would have a hard time establishing a value. Buy something from a builder/business with a receipt and someone might be able to get financing. Even easier if it is a...

Cool. What are the details on your mounting system?

Insulation has held up fine. No insulation on the floor. Snow tends to build up and stay frozen on the floor. We usually put a towel down and shake it out from time to time. It is comfortably warm inside with a diesel heater. We don't run the heat at night and sleep in down bags. Crank the...

If you don't want to mount a diesel heater directly to an exterior surface, you can run the exhaust to a thru hull fitting.

I'm curious what the advantage is to having a suitcase heater outside? Diesel heaters don't take up very much internal space.

Yes. Was mostly thinking insurance and DOT.

Also by definition, a pop up canopy isn't an RV or camper.

I can sort of understand the whole HOA no RV's thing but those minimal pop ups are closer to a topper than an RV or camper. I can't imagine anyone would have a "real" problem with it. I'd probably just do it and if it turned into a kerfuffle, I'd paint my house purple.

A boat canvas shop can replace the windows without replacing the whole canvas. You would of course have to remove it for the repair.

My cousin named her spaniel puppy jellybean. Went out pheasant hunting with my uncle on one those club fields where they plant the birds so there are a lot of other hunters around. Pretty funny to hear him yelling jellybean all morning. What's the issue with the current canvas? If you post a...

Cool. I was talking about a box van like the one rruff posted but 2ft longer.
