Are you sure you even need a diesel heater? We did a month in our sprinter across country in December with temps in the teens. Took a buddy but never broke it out. We used our 15 degree down bags and started the vehicle in the morning to run the engine and heater. There were a couple times we...

Yes, I'm switching to a crew cab truck with slide in camper. It wont be as cool as this truck but will be more comfortable seating for 2 adults a kid and dog.

I've heard there are different grades of kerosene with varying lubricity and that the spec is different in US, AUS and Europe.

Looks like a neat place to go camping. Regarding staying cool, you will be fighting a poorly insulated enclosure so factor that in as well. I realize on the east coast it's not just about staying cool but also staying dry in the humidity. Fingers crossed the humidity will be low while your...

I anyone concerned about the longevity of fuel pump due to lower lubricity of kerosene?

It would be helpful to differentiate drive train work vs suspension / steering linkage work.

Yea. Not much room left for compression. Maybe 3/8 to 1/2". I guess every time you see a box truck, take a look underneath and see how it is set up. This setup might be more about constant clamp pressure on the joint versus room for articulation. I didn't look closely but maybe there is a rubber...

There are 4 spring mounts total. These are on a 2006 f450 single cab with 12' chassis. The box is 2500-3000lbs estimated weight.

I also figured with a name like Aeon that the current platform is for getting production started with a plan to then transition to the electric transit next year.

I cant give you any design guidelines. The box on my f450 has springs front and rear. Tomorrow I can measure length diameter and wire size to give you a basis for comparison.

Makes sense that adding a thicker glass layer to both sides of the sandwich would be more impact resistant but I imagine it doesn't necessarily make it a lot more rigid than an FRP skin. Do you use glass mat or woven? How thick is the glass that you use? Would an equivalent thickness FRP skin...

I think If you become an RV manufacturer the financing option comes into play. Seems like you could compete fairly successfully with story teller sprinters. Especially if the rumors pan out that sprinter will switch over exclusively to a 4cyl platform on their AWD's. Your drivetrain offers more...

Looks like you have put a lot of thought into this already. If the plywood is solid, I would think 6 stainless steel 1/2" #10 pan heads should do the job. I might put some sealant / adhesive on the threads like 3m 5200.

Pretty sweet! Do you have a marketing deal with the manufacturer?

In the PNW we have a lot of snow, rain and mud for over half of the year. In a pop up camper without a bathroom, where do you put wet jackets and shoes when you come inside?

Nice looking spacers. I never liked loading/unloading campers and think they should stay on in the field. If your towing a trailer, why not tow a camp trailer and put the gear in the back of the truck?

I don't think so. That computer graphic presentation looks like an industrial design college student's project who never built anything before.

This board has been fairly slow lately. I think it's a seasonal thing and I'm wondering as well if there is some post Covid RV boom project burnout. I've seen lawn chairs, kids bikes and other various things going down the road strapped to ladders. I think most camper ladders are sketchy at...

I once mounted yakima ski racks on mine with hose clamps.

I'm a fan of a collapsible bucket and a $30 battery powered submersible pump sprayer (light weight and packs really small). Mix 25% boiling water with 75% ambient temp water. It only takes a half gallon to get clean. It doesn't make sense to pack an extra water heater when you already have a...
