All the prices for hard goods and wages always follow the simple law of supply and demand. Over the last couple years, some businesses have been sitting on supply, some have artificially inflated things because they could. In the last 9 months a lot of businesses have been liquidating...

If it is for visibility I would say no. If you are going to use a boot between the two for heat or AC maybe. Windows = condensation and restrict your usable space in your buildout.

You have to like that when talking about composite panel RV construction it is referred to as "Total Composites style".

Looks like it fits nicely over your light bar rack thing.

Not only does it increase your GVWR, it also brings the tire floatation up another 50%. Time to ditch those maxtrax. Errrr. Hmmm.

It will only achieve it's full "bad self" potential when there is imagery of it smashing though a river or some other delicate ecosystem. Oh wait... Imperials are so honey badger,,, running it through an old growth rain forest.

I've been curious about the skin to extrusion bond from the start. Looks like a few rivets but I wonder about thermocycling and oil canning putting stress on the bond. How many cross members are there supporting the roof skin?

LOL. Looks like he would have had to get on his knees to get up in that business.

What is the thickness on the NL glass layup? Is it a woven matrix? I had to to tear into my Northern Lite light a little bit to repair some rot in the floor and a crack on the shell at the bottom of the door but it was over 15 years ago and I don't remember.

Nice job on your writeups they are top quality.

"It’s about 20% more awesome than you think it will be." LOL's

It could also be a brand identity thing as well. From a distance the sprinter has more cachet than the transit.

What is the weight of your truck? Subtract that from GVWR and that is your payload including people and everything like a foam antenna ball (he he).

Adding a little more volume shouldn't double the weight. I think they must be cramming in a bunch of extra features. Either way I bet it is an awesome camper for a 3/4 ton and probably works on a half ton but is pushing it. I'm still surprised how light the originals are considering it's weight...

772 lbs. is really quite light. Seems like they should buy one and reverse engineer it if they have since forgotten how it was made. LOL

An added challenge with spacekaps is the curvature of the outer shell exceeds window manufactures allowable specs. On the newer diablos there is a small area on each side where they install their windows that kind of works. I had spakekap installed windows where they sawed through the plywood...

Will keep an eye on it. Doesn't look like they have updated their website yet to sell these items.

When you mention propane condensation you are probably referring to a catalytic style heater vs a furnace with heat exchanger that expels combustion gases out via an exhaust pipe or chimney. This conversation has been referring to the furnace style.

All the info is archived here in various threads. There is no specific guide thread. Your going to have to commit to days of reading. What you're doing is roughly the same as all the DIY van, trailer, camper builds. You can also look at builds on the Sprintersource forum to get ideas. The...

Are you going to make a dedicated build thread? I've been watching CPT shells for a while and would love to see what you do. The pulley tiedown system is cool. A thought about it is that even though it connects the camper and truck in 4 places, it is only 2 tie downs vs the normal 4. With 4...
