    movable habitation boxes

    The idea of having a habitat mounted on twist locks is not new. In my career I have met with owners that dismounted the box from the truck so they can be shipped in separate sea containers. Not impossible.... BUT a major pain in the butt! For example: think about the facility and equipment...

    For some reason it sounded like you are just building this for yourself, not starting a business.

    Pultrusions - where to buy?

    Another fun fact: most if not all pultrusions/ extrusions started out as custom designs by a paying customer that owns the design and IP behind it. If the manufacturer would start selling them to outsiders, i bet it would get ugly very fast. in any case, it sounds like you have the capabilities...

    Pultrusions - where to buy?

    Pretty much every pultrusion is custom designed. There are crazy costs for the tooling (anywhere from US$6000-40,000) and minimum order quantities. Therefore something like this will never be "cheap". Hence not many brands using them. We usually order several kilometre worth of FRP pultrusions...

    Ford Transit 4x4 anyone?

    I may be biased but I really enjoy owning and driving our 2019. So far zero issues and very easy/cheap to getting it in for a service at regular mechanic shops. Try doing this with a Sprinter LOL . Is it perfect? No, by no means. Nothing in the world is perfect and there are always compromises...

    Rossmonster Havn

    You are right Aeon has put together a pretty awesome RV. They are not just a one off where you are buying a "prototype" with all kinds of interior options etc. Not saying that's wrong by any means, it's normal with high end expedition trucks that they one offs. Just something to be aware of. I...

    New Autohome prices listed at Defenders NW - OUCH!

    They probably had to peel out a crap load of import tariffs (currently at 45%) and have to pass it on to the American consumer. Better get used to it, anything coming into the USA is hit hard with tariffs.

    New project ! 2006 GMC 5500 4x4 Top Kick

    The raised floor in the seating area was dictated by the height of the storage compartments and seating ergonomics. It ended up as just an empty space. It was also nice to have that space to install extra structure to mount the table leg.

    New project ! 2006 GMC 5500 4x4 Top Kick

    Thank you. Still lots of fine tuning on the inside left to do. Outside needs storage boxes. Need more time in the day to start building them with composite panels :-)
