Did you ever make any progress on this idea? I feel like I need more than a padlock. They’re notoriously easy to remove with an angle grinder. I guess someone with an angle grinder could just cut the whole lock out of the door panel even if you installed a deadbolt like you’re proposing. Ideally...
Sorry to hear about your health challenges. Great deal on the camper. I’m currently waiting on an alu cabin order or I would be ALL OVER THIS!! I’ll call em on Monday and see where I am in the queue! Haha
*edit* meant to ask - would you expect to bring this back to AT Overland in Colorado to...
Totally. Great points I see what you're getting at. I think what I'd really like to make is a solar panel mount that I can 'easily' remove. Totally brainstorming but imagine something like this with me... Instead of a bed slide I have a roof slide. All unistrut construction. Static rail attached...
Little update on my plan:
Create a 'portable' battery pack like is shown here.
Have quick connects to truck infrastructure
Inputs: solar charging, shore power, alternator charging,
house power (right now this is just the lights and water pump)
'Permanently' install a lockable utility box or...
Super helpful, thank you. So what is the actual solar panel mounting fixture? Is there like a frame that holds your panel, with mounting points to the m8 bolts? Did you fab something yourself or is there a product?
The goal of this build is to support three weeks off grid providing remote work and living for me. I won't be doing that all the time but that's the extreme case I'm planning for.
All of my components are in, except for the camper shell! So I'm still waiting. I ordered some adhesive spoiler...
I just found this thread and I'm so excited to slowly read it all. Ordered my alu cabin through Tiny Rig about a month ago. Last I heard we were targeting a March install date. Anyone know about how long they'll have my truck in the shop? I live a couple of hours away so I need to plan. I have...
I was given a Montana 700i as a present around Christmas (lucky me). It's my first piece of equipment like this. I have watched so many youtube videos. I think the reality is I just don't really know how to use GPS maps in general. I've struggled doing anything useful with the 700i. I like the...
I placed my order for an alu cabin about 2-3 weeks ago. I don't have any more details about shipping yet. Curious if anyone has heard about the largest size tire you can mount on the rear tire carrier? I know they very clearly state it's 33" in their product data. I swear in one of the many...
