^^^ yup exactly right. You have such a short pipe in a pop up (or any camper really).. the pipe gets hot AF and goes straight out the side of the camper. You also need to deal with the fabric sides coming down to rest on the hot stovepipe... either putting the top down after having run the...
Vertical walls are superior. Ditto roofs that raise their entire length. So much more usable space, and nicer to be in. Mount whatever you like on the walls, lean back against them. etc etc. The project M is massive inside and the inner table/benches are endlessly useful.
Not instagram fodder...
I guess if you did a hamfisted job of it, it may not work or look so good. I did the mod never intending for it to be the sole way to light the stove, but another way that is very handy and makes the stove more usable.
Yes 'adding mass' helps. Mine is built to sit very low (where you sleep assuming you're on a pad).. also get more space between stove and tent wall. In loamy or sandy soils, you can push the soil up and around the bottom/sides to get some insulation and keep the wood burning longer and get...
Most of those ultralite stoves suck in practice. Too small, have to feed them little popsicle stick pieces of wood.... they burn so hot and then immediatelyt die cold cuz there's no mass and you cant get any decent size wood in them. Doors don't seal, so they smoke. Your better off just putting...
Finally got some nights in the wind with the camper. Pleasantly surprised with how solid and quiet it was. The buckles banging on the sides was more of a noise issue than the pop up.
Maybe this has been covered..
We have a minimally wired Project M... just the 4 interior led strips, no hookup to truck battery or solar.
You can get a converter off ebay that puts out 12v and has two usb ports for phone charging and works off a Dewalt 20v battery (and probably others). These...
They don't need to both fail at the same time.. one can get compromised over time..maybe both. Big wind gust.
Not likely I'll get in accident taking my kid to school this morning, but I'm wearing my seat belt anyways.
Next step in the evolution is to figure out it's even nicer if its wider up top ie the camper is not contoured to the cab, which takes you full circle lol.
