1500lbs seems on the heavy side for a half ton

This looks interesting. Has anyone seen one around or at an Expo? https://www.armorlitetech.com/exp-1

There was another thread with good breakdowns on basic weights. I think Idasho had some insightful things to say. I'll see If I can dig it up unless he posts first. I want to do the same thing you are proposing. Big light box on a single rear 3500. Super single conversions add a ton of cost and...

Good info. MilesBFree, can you post a spreadsheet without recreational gear and personal items to make an apples to apples weight comparison between your design and the average 2000lb build that Victorian is reporting?

Selectable locker, sand ladders, big winch, sand anchor, air compressor come to mind. Along with not adding a ton of extra weight but a full size with hi top will be pretty heavy to start with. At least when you bury it, it will only be the back end. Getting up the beach through the loose stuff...

The combination of the two might be the way to go. Run them both to cool things down and then shut off the vehicle AC.

Those are cool. Do you know if you can any lion battery with them or do you have to use their packaged batteries?

The benefit of all in one like a yeti goal zero is that it is plug n play and doesn't take up much space. They have a warrantee if there are issues and when the battery is end of life you can upgrade the unit or swap out the battery. The down side is that they don't seem to allow for expansion...

OP. Was the rear suspension hitting the bump stops before you added air bags?

I'm not sure what auto repair is like in Norway but in the US, any crash repair shop could probably do it. I'd look for a privately owned small shop where the owner would be the one doing the work.

What are your thoughts on insulation? In the NW it's either cold or hot and all that aluminum will be either one or the other.

Your post jogged my memory about mail totes. google search link for coroplast mail totes

I'm interested in seeing the details of how you did this if your willing to share.

I've used this material for a few projects and am constantly thinking about all the possible combinations and applications for it. Keep us in the loop on what you come up with.

Sounds neat. I'd like to see your build process and final product.

Did you end up with tool rolls? I liked your comment about just needing to change a battery or other small things. Cheap tools in the car and nicer ones for home. I've had a similar one to this for over 10 years. Throw it in the car, boat wherever. Compact not expensive if stolen or lost. I've...

Over there you can feel free to mention if you decide to buy any ******** Cepek tires without the overbearing nanny bot kicking in.

The draw back of hull liner on boats and campers is that it will eventually build up dust in the fibers. Most dust is organic matter and if it builds up, it could eventually be a bed for fungus and mildew. My plan is to vacuum it off once a year and keep the interior as dry as possible. Nothing...

The purpose of the hull liner is to hold moisture in micro droplets on a large surface area allowing it to evaporate quickly and not form large droplets that run down the walls. The closed cell foam keeps moisture from getting between it and the fiberglass shell. There is no air gap between the...

I didn't use spray in foam. The foam I used is 1/2" thick closed cell neoprene sheet. It is most commonly used for insulating ducting in HVAC systems. It is also used as insulation on welded aluminum boats. There are a few different manufacturers. I think the product I used was made by Armacell...
