There is some great info on this site written by some folks who have a lot of experience. https://www.turtleexpedition.com/

I don't have a good answer on super single cost at the moment. Prices have changed so much on things recently. Here is a link to an active build with super single conversion. You have probably seen it. Anyway this person could probably answer the question better than I...

"I've done the dirt baggy thing up into my early 60's. Don't mind a 5 day backpack trip with Wet Ones or streams and a wash cloth. But by then I'm ready for hot shower, hot meal, and a recliner." I hear you there! Living in a vehicle changes needs considerably.

This is what I have currently and I'm by no means touting it as the solution. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/spacekap-diablo-6-build.236893/ The setup you are looking for has been the eternal debate on this forum. I subscribe to the lighter and less you have the better it will...

From my experience internet discussions are not worth getting heated over. Communicating via forum is cumbersome and it is too easy for things to get taken out of context and escalated without purpose. I look at threads as a collection of opinions that are there for picking through. Collect the...

Your discussion of firearms in Canada and the efficacy of bear spray vs firearms are both interesting topics and looks like there threads already started. I say this because I haven't found any conclusive data to support the marketing claims of bear spray and would like to discuss it. Bear...

My experience is pretty inline with DE56. I've had northern lite and bigfoot along with other RV's and trailers and washboard was never fun. I would slow down to a crawl 5mph knowing that any faster would start to degrade things. I've read quite a few post of people doing rugged dirt road with...

This isn't quite what your asking about but I thought I would put it out there to expand your thinking. I owned this truck last summer and it has since moved along but it is the kind of thing that can take a pounding. I say this because the DNR ran it all over hell and back on gravel roads...

Here is a link to my build thread on the other shell https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/spacekap-diablo-6-build.236893/

For reference, I got 14.5mpg over 1700 miles with this setup. Small block GM V8 https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/spacekap-diablo-6-build.236893/ I used to get 15mpg with a mid 90's 3/4ton dodge diesel 4x4 with a Northern lite camper.

What are the details of your existing 3/4 ton? Have you done any fuel cost calculations to figure the difference between the 2 setups based on your annual mileage?

Here is a cross link to my Spacekap Diablo 6 build thread. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/spacekap-diablo-6-build.236893/

The idea of this build was to stay really basic and use this camper like a hard side tent with heat, a sink, battery, lights, solar panel, water. It also needed to stay versatile for hauling gear for different adventures. The nose area is large enough for a kid to sleep and is where we store...

What I started with. Spacekaps come strapped to a giant pallet. I ordered one of the shells with every window from Spacekap to to get a feel for what they offered. Next step after an initial mockup was insulation. I bonded 1/2" closed cell neoprene to the inside of the shell and then...

Spacekap Diablo 6 Build I love the idea of open source so I'm going to attempt to document some of the things I did in my build so that others may draw from my experience. Last year I purchased 2 Spacekaps with the intention of building a couple different prototype layouts for testing to...

The inside height of the shell at its highest point is approximately 76" There are 6 seatbelts. The front is 3 seats where the center can fold down and be an arm rest Tires are factory spec 265 70 17

I'm not seeing much with a google search for "ultra 4". Do you have a link or additional info? I've seen different offerings on Alibaba that look like Tern windows and I'm wondering if that is what these are? Here is the only site I found. https://wasatch-overland.com/ultra-4-window

I did a spacekap build and I bonded 1/2" closed cell neoprene to the fiberglass and then bonded boat hull liner over that. I've done 3 nights up at the ski area and have been satisfied with the performance of that combo. The killer is single pane glass windows. Condensation city.

SOLD 2008 Silverado 1500 4x4 126k miles Ex DNR truck I bought for this Spacekap project. Interior is a little dirty but otherwise in good shape, exterior has brush scratches. Runs great, no issues I've been driving it for over a year with my other shell on it. $11,995 The Spacekap shell is a...
