    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...

    E-Series is Best for Overlanding; here's proof

    Unicorn on the Ocean - 1120AF Coming to Canada

    Working with IKEA is pretty straight forward as most of the kitchen cabinets are based on a systems approach that allows them to be mixed and matched. In my case I combined standard lower drawer cabinets that are 24" deep with 30" deep "fridge" cabinets above to get to the desired overall...

    Unicorn on the Ocean - 1120AF Coming to Canada

    As a furniture maker I always like seeing "wood" cabinetry in my personal campers. It gives it a cozy feel like home. At the same time it's more sound suppressing and easier to replace if needed. Metal cabinets always remind me of garage tool cabinets... I just replaced a couple doors in my...

    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...

    Actual off road capability of composite campers.

    It all comes down to engineering and knowledge. Unicat was at the forefront and working closely with Mercedes.

    E350/450 Cab-Chassis w/ Composite Box Body - Feedback Requested

    The Quest for the "perfect" most" capable" overland truck keeps the industry buzzing. That's cool! I started travelling self supported back in 1992 with the most simple low budged gear and motorbikes. I had many breakdowns/ met many other travellers on my trips through the Sahara and learned...
