    2024 RAM CCLB flatbed + Overland Adventure Truck composite shell build thread

    Wow. That's a lot of detail. What modeling program did you use? Do you have a CNC router?

    Scout camper feel too heavy?

    In that vain, everyone should take a physical like the FAA does for a pilots license along with a performance driving test, IQ and factor in standing on social media. The world isn't black and white and there are a lot of incompetent drivers on the road. Safety is relative and cant be isolated...

    Scout camper feel too heavy?

    I think we established Canadians have a different set of rules and that engineers are mutants and most people cant wrap their head around them. Side note. Lets talk about exploding Pintos.

    2024 RAM CCLB flatbed + Overland Adventure Truck composite shell build thread

    Looking forward to following your build. Sounds very close to what I ultimately want to do. We recently winter camped in our trailer for 3 days running lights, diesel heater and cooler fridge and used 25% of a 200AH battery. Not sure on induction cooker but you could have a single burner 1lb...

    Not so Cool Coolers

    Reading the recall. I'm not sure amputate is the right word since a cooler is not a surgeon. Must have been written by AI. Anyway, looking at the product photos and guessing where the troublesome spot is, it would appear that someone would have to put a finger in the hole near the hinge on the...

    Total Composites flatbed build

    Sounds like your flatbed and spring mounts have been a successful solution. I think you would have noticed any issues when swapping it over. How many miles on it? Any significant off road twisting? What is your takeaway on electrical? 800w solar and 600ah battery seems like a lot. We recently...

    Northern Lite 610 for 1/2 Ton PU

    What do you think of the Scout Yoho? 1000lbs base. 1200lbs after adding a couple things like fridge, camp stove etc.

    Ski Shack "The Baker Box"

    Small update. I got the interior paneling finished, installed a diesel heater and took it out for a test run. We spent 3 nights in it up at the ski area and it was pretty comfortable overall. It was set up it up with a futon, a cot and modular camping gear. Folding tables, Coleman stove...

    Reasonable Mods For Carrying Heavy Things

    My main thought about covered storage is that a camper in almost new condition will last a lot longer and be a lot lower maintenance if stored under a cover or in doors. Sounds like OP is on the right track. Also great if you can plug it in when not in use and condition the interior with heat...

    Reasonable Mods For Carrying Heavy Things

    Do you have a covered area to park a camper when not using it? I think you can also rent slide in campers various places if you want a lower try before you buy commitment.

    FRP corners sound cool. Will they be resin transfer molded?

    Reasonable Mods For Carrying Heavy Things

    You are asking in a round about way how to make your vehicle carry more weight. I imagine some of GVWR sticker is to comply with the vehicle classification system and is not the actual limit of its capacity. Spec out the springs to do what it is intended. If you are truly concerned about a...

    The Boxio camp toilet?

    I'll be testing the Joolca gotta go this winter. I like that it has a gate valve over the brown bucket. We'll see how it shakes out or hopefully doesn't. He He

    Ski Shack "The Baker Box"

    I burned out on this project last Feb and stepped away from it. Kind of a rough ski season with all the rain. This summer/fall I built a 600 sqft art studio (gray building) for my wife and have been fixing up a rental house so didn't have time for the trailer project. Ready to get back to...
