My vote is also propane furnace after trying multiple types. I'd also venture that it doesn't really matter where the tank is located in a camper. If it explodes, it will take the whole camper out. I wouldn't be concerned about safety if you install correctly . Get a copy of the RV standards...

I'd say 70-75 mph. We drove from Bellingham to Montana and back so mostly freeway miles.

Gotcha. I was thinking the pic was from the outside and you had the heater cranked. LOL We had a high of 41F today.

Interesting to see the relative temperature difference between the two surfaces. What was the internal temp and outside ambient temp? I guess "well insulated" window is a bit of an oxymoron. I would expect a double pane acrylic to have almost double the R value of single pane glass so it would...

Agreed. If I produce campers they need to far exceed RV industry quality standards. The status quo is not acceptable. I can't stand the practice of producing consumer land fill. Spacekap shells are great for DIY. I'm very happy with my build concept and really dig my van style / camper hybrid...

I should have been more clear about the hard-side specification. The most apples to apples would be something like a total composites slide in with custom low CG interior build out and then maybe a Scout or similar. Big lumbering old school hang off the back bombers with everything but the...

Thanks. All the windows on my camper build were installed by Spacekap. I added a little additional info in the build thread.

Dole commented "That came out surprisingly nice for what you started with. I am impressed. How did it go installing those windows?" All of the windows were installed by Spacekap. If I was to do it again, I would delete the front windows in the nose making it easier to finish the interior in...

This discussion is more relevant to full size trucks. Pop-up canopies are definitely the solution for a Tacoma. Hard-side campers in this discussion refers to Scout and Total Composites style light weight shells with minimal buildouts. I started a thread asking about camper fuel economy and...

Great marketing. Shows realistic progress of the manufacturing facility while keeping excitement high for the people waiting for their units.

price reduction

Huge price reduction.

My Spacekap hard-side camper on a 2008 Silverado 1500 4x4 gets 14.5 MPG loaded for a one week trip, highway driving 1200 miles over mountains. I don't have personal data for MPG without a camper but I think it is around 18-19 mpg so I'll estimate the reduction at 4MPG. It is around 9ft tall.

I'm curious to hear what the panel has to say about a couple of real world metrics for these two styles of campers. I can't be the only one wondering. LOL How much reduction in gas mileage have you seen with the addition of a camper (please specify vehicle and camper)? What is your overall...

Interesting concept for an off grid trailer. They have a system to condense and purify water from air. Not quite a stillsuit (dune reference) but outside of the box none the less. https://www.livingvehicle.com/

Cool build. Is there any insulation? Wouldn't hurt to post it on this site's classifieds as well as FB.

Pics would be helpful but take your best guess and post on CL for sale OBO and see what happens. If you get blown up with interest then it's probably worth more than your starting price and you can hold out for a higher offer. If you get crickets, lower the price until it sells.

If it's just for night use a bucket with a seat on it works pretty well. Have some bag liners and absorbent material like sawdust or pellet bedding for emergency dumps. A small place like a trailer with a fan vent in the roof will change the air in 30 seconds. You can pour out pee about...

I also believe in the buy it with cash motto and "don't finance anything you don't need". Only use financing if it is going to bring a greater return over the terms of the loan. Make the bank work for you rather than working for the bank. There is more adventure than can be had in a lifetime...

In the 90's I met a guy who was a kayak guide in the San Juan Islands in the summer. The rest of the year he went to school at WSU and saved rent living in his blazer. WSU is in E Washington and cold as hell. He said once the ice and snow built up on the outside it was more cozy. He paid for a...
