Looking good! Speaking of cold, where did you purchase the propex heater from? Also the through hull fitting; does the exhaust tube get too hot for the panel? Thanks

Thanks. Saw the exchange of ideas in "Composite fiberglass/foam panel build question " thread. Good stuff! Glad to see your not deterred in building your own. I have found that the European market is not the all knowing when it comes to panels. There are companies here in the US that have...

Thanks!

Welding up a frame sounds good and strong. However, it's the bonding of all the panels together, including interior walls/supports that give the box its overall strength. I would think the frame alone would have substantial flexing "depending on size and shape". This is probably a mute point...

Thanks, that's good to know. Easier than I thought, just turn it off when not in use:)

Thanks! Enjoyed your build as well. I too am looking at lithium. Do you have the ability to charge from shore power with your configuration? If so, how do you protect the battery? I would think there has to be a simple answer as these batteries probably need tending during storage? I'm...

Saturday afternoon progress; drainage was not satisfactory so reworked for better flow, wired water pump switch, and attached cabinet face.

Wow, that's impressive! You should do a thread on building windows:) People reference "German Made", "Chinese Made", etc., But you gotta love HOMEMADE the best.

Hi David at Tern. Yeah you did kinda hijack the thread, not cool. I don't know you and was not referring to your business, but from the looks of it you sell Eurovision. Your quick response to the post about the windows makes me suspicious that your associate prompted you to do so. Yes he is...

Congrats on the lamilux. I almost had my box made in China, just not through Alibaba. Turned out to be a bait and switch. Fortunately I was able to get my money back for their CAD. It's been very satisfying building my own. Vendors...

Cushions make a difference

This model is probably not any different, in fact I think most are basically the same. This model did say for use in RV's and Tiny houses. That was a selling point for me. However I definitely agree with you on the clearances, venting, and shielding. I have a similar heater in a pop up...

I can understand that for dryers with the exhaust. This vent is for fresh air only. There are models that are "ventless".

Not electric, propane. Uses zero power except for couple D batteries which last long time. I have one in my pop up camper, works great.

Next is to make the cabinet face. Pic shows aluminum angle for attachment

Holes cut out for the water fill and tankless water heater screen placed in vent Pex and shark bites made for an easy install The water pump attached easily to the panel with screws and sika 521

Plumbing progress This 1 1/4 fitting set me back about a week or two. Here is the best I could find at the hardware stores. Way too big so ebay came to the rescue The smaller fitting allowed me to turn the tank to the side which gave me more room all around. Next was the drain lines

I think I came across a company in California, I don't recall the name. Best advice is to search, search, and search. Try different names like FRP panels, FRP skins, composite panels, XPS foam panels, etc. I found my source through amazon as a third party advertiser. You can also check...

Thank you

Fiberglass skin: $2300.00, I did purchase extra for another project, so maybe $2100. Dow 60 foam board; $1100.00. Aluminum: Approximately $1,000.00. Epoxy: $460.00. Sikaflex; $435.00 Man hours, I really have no clue as I didn't keep a log. My best guess is that it may take approx. 2 hrs...
