I originally reached out via email to understand why the truck side of the hitch was loosening itself during towing on rough terrain. We tried some troubleshooting over a couple months, but they finally said they had updated the primary nut from nylock (which loosened even with added thread...

Chiming in here as I’ve recently had great outcome with CU Offroad’s customer service. They’ve helped me with parts and troubleshooting of both the truck and trailer ends of my Max Coupler over the last few months. I think my new hitch (that came with my new trailer) sat in RV dealer lots for...

My 7 pin connector puts out about 5A, sometimes less. I’m certainly no expert, but I always keep this Blue Sea chart around when I’m doing 12V projects and try to stay in the 3% voltage drop zone, if possible. 6AWG should get you much better results. Good luck on your install.👍

The 4600lbs of that Arkto is getting mighty close to your tow capacity, but it sure looks like a nice trailer. I would also look at the TetonX and Mission Overland. We love our Summit from MO and also have a family of 3, though there may not be as much interior living as you prefer.

I have slept with the top down, because I was curious, but I don’t think sitting at the table would be too comfortable with the top down. We’ve been in decent wind with the top up with no concerns. Our 5yo uses the bunk every time we camp, but I think the max weight is 140lbs(?). It’s...

Cook Partner and Camp Chef aren’t the same company, but I think they’re both good stuff. I have both and think they’re good, Partner Steel / Cook Partner is better. If I was starting from a clean slate, I would build a solid place for my Cook Parnter to be used in the camper, but make sure it...

Those DFG slides are awesome!

As someone who currently uses toolboxes for my kitchen kit, those look really cool. I’m not going to replace anything I currently have, but those boxes have some really great features.

Wow. I used to really look forward to you posts, but now I see you’re just a psychopath.😁 That amount of interior fairing is completely bonkers. Keep up the amazing work! (still looking forward to your posts)

@mep1811 Thanks for the reminder on the breakaway brake battery, mine was pretty much dead. I charged that and greased the bearings and swing arm. Timbren recommends greasing every 3000-6000 miles, depending on use. Timbren Installation / Maintenance Manual

You could try ThermoLite board, that was the knock off brand I found. Apologies @escadventure, we’ve hijacked your thread a bit.

Do you have a Composites One near you? I got some Coosa knock off sheets from them when I replaced most of the plywood in our sailboat.

1/2” EPVC (Palight) sheet, painted with Monstaliner. This is a pic from the first build, I don’t have a pic of the newest iteration. Why did you choose EPVC for your boxes instead of Coosa/PU? Do you have a build thread yet?

Having built two truck beds out of 8020 frame and plastic sheet, I think screw and glued ply is an idea that should not be dismissed. It’s cheap and easy to get, relative to 8020 and plastic or composite. And it’s pretty easy to work with. Sure, non-wood solutions are more impervious to water...

I’m on my second build using 8020 framing faced with 1/2” expanded PVC. I still use the back of the truck as a truck, so the PVC needs a little help with impact resistance, it’s painted with Monstaliner. My “furniture” is attached to the truck with the bed bolts and the bed rail accessory track.

BajaNomad forums may be a good resource.

I do, they are awesome folks, very helpful for the non-fab crowd. They have a couple great options for $5-7/ft and the nearest Lowe’s has an okay option for less than $5/ft.

I like that, I’ll look into it. Sounds a bit more durable and I still have an excuse to use VHB.
