    Unicorn on the Ocean - 1120AF Coming to Canada

    You are correct any material with move with temperature changes. By using the same type of FRP products throughout you won't have to worry about conflicting expansion/contraction between materials like you would see with an Aluminum/FRP combination.

    Well done! Doing this in a confined space AND high up on the truck is a challenge. Cheers

    Condensation in campers and how to avoid it!

    Every year I'm getting calls from customers asking for advice on how to prevent condensation in a DIY / custom camper in winter condition. I experienced this too on my personal camper. This is of course a WTH moment first, but when you start looking closer into thermal dynamics and understand...

    Unicorn on the Ocean - 1120AF Coming to Canada

    I used full 4x8 sheets our factory custom made for me. Same 1.5mm Lamilux FRP on both sides and marine plywood. Has some weight to it, but worth the look and durability. I treaded the edges with 1/8 radius router, sandpaper and hardwax oil. I used the same materials for the table and it's...

    Demountable composite box to flatbed mounting system without pivoting subframe.

    On our bigger expedition truck bodies we offer a 2' spacing between the FRP internal structure as a standard. Realizing that not every truck/subframe is the same, we can custom place them as required. Subframe width: They should always be as wide as the actual truck frame. Another reason why a...

    Demountable composite box to flatbed mounting system without pivoting subframe.

    Great Topic! We use a general rule with our flatbed campers: Any camper with a floor length longer than 8' should have the frame twist put in consideration with an isolating frame. All pending on the truck, these can get more complicated the longer they are. A typical Flatbed usually increases...
