Another good thing about a 4 season ground tent is that you can use what ever vehicle you have as a wind/rain/snow break. Makes a big difference when there is nothing else to hide behind.....

Dean, in solidarity with your pending trip, we could name our summer trip, "Please, No Ice, Baby 2024" as we are definitely on opposite ends of the wish list for ice quality and quantity......:D

This will be a great trip, looking forward to following your progress!

Thanks the reply. You’re right, tailgates have become narrower The guy I bought it from in the Kootenys had it in a newer ford. He had a bit more room than me, but not much. I’ll see what I can fabricate up for those spots. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk where did you buy your camper?

I think there was a huge shift in truck bed dimensions around 07/08. (I know from experience that 07 and 1/2 was the big change in GMC/Chevs) I had a 2005 GM 2500 short box which my small Bigfoot fit perfectly into, especially as you refer to, in the critical area of narrowing of the box at...

Have a look at what "TrailTalk" has done. They have an OEV and are also serious skiers.

Simple/Terra Ops The holes will be fine and yes, mid panel as you suggest. I will limit the run length of the hoses and will also use short molded silcone 90 degree angles to bring the hose end into the cabin. The Propex "Slinky like" 60mm hose is pretty tough (especially the exterior version)...

Another vote for Propex, mine has been flawless. On my new CPT 8 ft. slide in, I am going with an external version of the smaller Propex (HS2211) which will live on the exterior vertical wall of the camper, inside the truck box. Not loving the two 60mm holes for the hot/cold air but definitely...

Or just refresh their corporate memories of the very old, family business called the Blitz Gan Can Company in Ohio being sued into oblivian with dozens of law suits due to the fact that gasoline burns or explodes when exposed to open flames. Here is an example of one of the claims..... "On...

Geesh, not very Canadian of them, eh?

Yes I will but I am deathly slow.... I may not get the build done before they come for me.

I don't have any experience with AT doors but this is the second build in which I have used Tern windows. I really like them but others tend to pu-pu them, I think mostly because of their aluminium frames. There maybe better stuff out there but for me, these are just great. (my previous comment...

Jeff That wasn't very clear.... They definitely are Euro-vision, says right on them. What I was trying to say :) was that despite my comment about camper design and planning, I still picked a product (AT windows) solely based on liking them, not whether or not they had superb thermal...

Alloy I have one of first CPT campers, pretty much a prototype and I acted in part as a guinea pig in exchange for having a fair bit of input into my own design. I am very much still enjoying it and the continuing steep curve that occurs with interior self builds. That being said, I would...

Mine walls are a touch over 1.5", so guessing around R7.5

rruff - CPT uses the HCPP panels in their industrial slide in ambulances. These panels and the style of build, allow them to market a MTC (mobile treatment center) which is strong enough to endure a roll over, thus they are not required to have an auxiliary roll cage, which some of the...

Jeff, Good luck with your new undertaking.

CPT engineers advised that there is no real need for them as once set up, the glue and camper is super strong w/o them. Not that I am overly worried about thermal transfer, but the ends of the screws do end up buried in the foam that lives on the outside cavity of the extrusion anyway. I like...

We picked ours up a couple of months ago. We are just now starting to move from cardboard and milk crate mockups to some actual wood. The weather has just been too nice to be inside!

Yes on the CPT build thread and more on the pulley system as soon as the weather changes for the worst!!!
