    camper showers?

    Who actually showers in a 10ft or smaller camper? It seems like it's on most peoples must have list when purchasing but when it comes down to it who actually uses one? Do you prefer the outdoor shower? Please include if your camper has a built in wet bath or if it is some type of curtain around...

    Scout Camper

    Regarding the 12V power in your 7 pin on the truck side. Is this on a relay that closes the circuit when your truck is running? How many amps is it rated for? When I think about an alternator charging a battery, it is a much thicker wire than I see in a trailer wire harness which makes me...

    Tie down / mounting thoughts

    I think they are pushed out as far as possible to control a tall heavy awkward box that is quite a bit wider than the surface it is sitting on.

    Tie down / mounting thoughts

    Sounds like you are thinking that as the truck flexes, the relative motion of the frame and camper mounting points would be minimized by moving them inboard. Makes sense.

    Are you thinking of stress caused by tie downs in a static or dynamic or both condition?

    "The Crummy" 2006 F450 fire crew buggy

    There will also be 3 underbody storage boxes added. Just ordered two 36's" and a 24". I imagine these will be used to stash things like leveling blocks, fire wood, camp chairs, and a grill.

    "The Crummy" 2006 F450 fire crew buggy

    LOL. I appreciate the suggestions. I spent some time discussing different layouts with my wife and I think yet again it's going to shift. I'm scaling back the amount of work to be a more entry level build to begin with. Can always add more in the future. This layout keeps the whole garage as...

    "The Crummy" 2006 F450 fire crew buggy

    After some time I've started noodling on a different layout for the interior. I moved the bathroom to the front corner and will have the queen bed east/west across the back. The bed will be split in half so that it is a lounge couch during the day and pull out at night. The dinette will also...

    "The Crummy" 2006 F450 fire crew buggy

    Summer has flown by and this project has been on the back burner. Over the past couple months I have been focused on getting the truck in better shape and getting it cleaned up. It's not the glamorous side of a build but had to be done. It's got new tires and shocks and a rebuilt driver seat. 14...

    Rocksea - EarthCruiser CORE Total Composites Build

    I'm working on a box layout that is a remodel of an existing vehicle. I was stuck on putting the bathroom / closet in the rear corner for a while but recently I moved it up to front corner and I'm liking the layout a lot better. I'm not concerned about it being exposed to the entrance since it...

    How tall is too tall for back country, off road use?

    Hard to pass up a good deal these days. Maybe you could swap out if you decide you want a pop up style.

    Flatbed campers by TotalComposites

    Regarding length. The designation says 8' flat bed but it appears to be a little longer. The drawing is hard to read but I believe it shows the length at 2660mm. 2660mm/25.4 = 104.72" 104.72"/12 = 8.73'

    Flatbed campers by TotalComposites

    Super cool that you are adding new models. I'm curious why you are offering these sizes for flatbeds. For instance if I had an 8' flatbed, I would want a 10' box. Or on a 6.5' flatbed it would be nice to have an 8.5' box. It looks like you have made the bed area 60" deep by 77" wide. If it was...

    Exterior fiberglass cracking. Advice wanted for how to fix

    An option might be to fabricate an aluminum shell over the outside. Large enough to cover the rotten areas and fasten to any existing solid structure. It might look like giant corner caps depending on how bad it is. Cut away the trim at the joints where it will be covered with aluminum so that...

    Hard Sided Campers: Winter Living while Plugged In

    If you have the space next to your camper an ice fishing tent might be a good addition. You could use it as an intermediate semi outdoor extra space and with a heater in it you could also use it to dry gear.
