Hey, this looks like a great package. Very nearly what we've been spec'ing out for ourselves. Where are you all located? I'll send a DM with contact info if you have time to discuss.

OK, I just went and watched the video. Yeah, I have thoughts. To each their own, but I'm sticking with my original statement, with an emphasis on the last portion about things being installed counter to specifications.

???? I agree, but that's kind of the whole point of ALL of the Diesel/Gasoline heaters (and the externally-vented Propane), isn't it? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but your heat choices can be cleanly divided into only two camps: "burns your breathing air" or "externally vented". The...

Nice!

Or Series-Parallel - like two parallel pairs of 2x12v panels in series for a "24v" nominal input at 33A?

There are a lot of real world variables, but for basic spec purposes, back-of-the-envelope math is useful: 200w panel @ 12v = 16.666A 4x 200w panel = 66.666A Now granted, these are nominal values - realistically the panel will be outputting a higher voltage, but at peak output (cold, sunny day)...

Looks great! A few questions: 1) SRW or dually? Can't tell from photos. 2) Is the rear-seat platform removable in favor of reinstalling a passenger seat? 3) Total length?

Danger, Will Robinson. In my experience, AWD is fantastic in snow, but your bog-standard 4WD systems tend so push, badly, and sometimes are scarier than a regular RWD with good tires. Pursue whichever build makes sense to you, but beware the notion that adding an off-road focused 4WD...

I've got a total Craigslist investment of $175 into the five OEM take-offs on my van...

Oooh, dang. This is tempting. This is a great package. Man, if this was a Supercab instead of a crew, I'd 100% be there. Even still...

https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/rvs/d/surprise-2007-tiger-chevrolet-3500-ext/7428463650.html Updated listing. All things considered, in this market, the price isn't completely bonkers for a diesel, extended cab Tiger, if the real condition is as promised. That said, in that vintage, buyer...

The way the leverage on the gas springs work - the first few inches of lift they give almost no help. (Because they're lifting on the hypotenuse of the triangle with basically zero height, so the force has almost zero "up" vector.) The net effect of this means that even with heavier struts...

Unless you're getting free shipping, you'll save more money by buying local than any discount you'll get. Them things is heavy.

Curious if it has any of the seat options (dinette/rollover), or just bare? I'm frustrated by FWC's floor plans so I've thought about doing up a shell build.

I hate that I'd have to sign up for FB to inquire about this.

Ditto this.

To damp sloshing. For something like that 130L tank you posted, at 1/2 full that's almost 150lbs of water with plenty of room to move. Even on a big-boy truck, that kind of weight movement can be noticed, especially if you get an oscillation going.

Clever!

If you get creative, it should be doable. Folks in my family routinely slept up to 6 people in a '73 VW Westy Bay. This included using the Westfalia "Cot" that spanned over the front row seats, and one person on the floor with their feet underneath the cantilevered part of the rock-n-roll...

Note that one additional side-effect of Alu-cab re-using the upper bed components on the Alu-Cabin is that the walls have significantly more angle vs. the midsize Canopy-Camper. Since the upper bunk and cap are the same width as the midsize version, they need to span the gap between the wider...
