    Plastic alternatives to wood for cabinet faces and trim

    Dibond / Alucobond makes for some nice looking cabinets. Another option is flightcase style and use one of the plastic flightcase panel materials instead of wood. http://www.4x4-innenausbau.de/ http://www.custom-campers.de/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=105&Itemid=99999999

    Overland-ish Tacoma Flippac Build

    This looks great. Digging this Euro style build vs the FWC / big American rigs. Your buddy's build looks to ahead of your truck in the 3rd picture. It looks like an Ortec Minicamp build with the cab bolted to the bed rails...

    Camper wall siding

    Dibond or similar ACM panel boned/rivited to an frame made of aluminium angle. You can see Cartech in France building a unit from it here. Depending on the size of the camper you might run into panel size issues. 5x10 might be about as large as the panels come. Insulate with some XPS...

    Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 CrewCab Expedition Build in Canada

    My brother and my dad have brought in motorcycles and snowmobiles from the US to Canada. Not so bad there if they decline you entry, just turn around and find a pressure washer. How will it delay your project? Did you have a set timeline you were working towards for a trip? If you are...

    Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 CrewCab Expedition Build in Canada

    Ouch that sucks. I wonder how all the right hand drive imports come in? I guess they are well detailed in Japan for loading them up to come into Vancouver. Assumption that the guys bringing them in also learned this one the hard way by having one or two sent back. Might be good to have the...

    Dear Ford. Import the Transit Custom and do it with an AWD. Some of us want a mid-sized option that isn't MB. Dear VW. Bring the T6 4motion to North America.

    If Chevy had just made these bench seats able to fold forward if would be much easier to do a "weekender" type set up the vans.

    N.A.R.V. - 2008 Chevy Express AWD Project

    Good to know. The seat do clip in and out without tools? How much space is there between the 2nd row and the front captains chairs? If the captains chairs were swiveled around and kids were sitting on the bench seat would you knock knees? Would love to see some pics of the bed installed in...

    N.A.R.V. - 2008 Chevy Express AWD Project

    I can't tell from the pictures but is there room to leave the 2nd row of seats in and have the bed behind them? I have been thinking about an adventure van to build up for my growing little family and thinking of a Express/Savana AWD passenger van. We've got one toddler with another one on the...

    How to heat a RTT for a 1-year old?

    Not RTT specific. We stuck our little guy in a full fleece suit over his warmest sleeper then he went into in insulated sleep sack. The fleece suit has fold overs to cover his hands, the sleep sack is the type without arms. A toque on that and he was plenty warm. If it was going to be colder...

    Mercedes Metris minivan

    Dreaming of a 4x4 Metris camper.... Put a full length set of rails in the floor that would allow a flexible layout. The option to set it up as 7/8 passenger van or 5 with a foldout bet, or 4 with foldout bed and storage/kitchen latched down to the rails. A modular layout in one of these would...
