    I decided to build my own Pop Top camper

    Dude... sorry to hear this. Man, that sucks, like a lot. I worked a lot on the roof edge design... the guy who was working with me on this designed it to have more of an overhang, but it was like 3/4 of an inch away from the sides? I was not ok with that as I was (mostly) concerned with air...

    Pop-Up Camper - Custom Build (scratch built) Oasis-Si

    Life is all about setbacks isn't it? Well, I managed to stumble into another (medical) one, and this seems to have foiled my plans to get this stupid camper finished this month. :( Time will tell... I have been down and out since last Saturday, with the majority of that time spent in the...

    Diesel heater in a four wheel camper?

    As mentioned above, you probably could... but I think you will be better served to get your fresh air for the combustion outside. Simple enough to poke another hole in your nicely sealed and water tight camper...lol. I personally would get it from outside, to stop it from stealing the heated air...

    Diesel heater in a four wheel camper?

    There are some pretty cool exhaust options made for marine use, and almost all are good quality stainless. As for the intake, that could also be a similar type of fitting, but I am not sure about that one. Just a quick example of what I am talking about. I am looking at doing this for my camper...

    I decided to build my own Pop Top camper

    Hey there Heavyweight... love the build! I have not been following this (I wish I had been) as I have not been on here much lately, but man this looks pretty great! I have a question for you about your roof design. It appears from the pics that I saw, that you have a small lip all the way...

    Pop-Up Camper - Custom Build (scratch built) Oasis-Si

    Might as well upload the rest of the pics I have on hand, while I am here. heh I have been picking away at a few other things as well as the roof work. Some small interior tweaks and some electrical. The marker light wiring on the roof edges was NFG when I wired them in, and I had hoped I could...

    Pop-Up Camper - Custom Build (scratch built) Oasis-Si

    Well now... it has been a while since I updated this post. I must admit, I have put this project on the back burner more than it ever was on the front burner...heh. Life continually finds a way to get in the way of all of my fun. Having said that, I have made some additional progress, and am...

    Pop-Up Camper - Custom Build (scratch built) Oasis-Si

    After thinking about it for 2 years, the fabric is here. Window covers, rear awning and camper pop-up sides. Looks great, really nice job. I have all the aluminum and screws in hand to install it now too so all that is needed is... well, the doing. Should be back at it this week, hand is 'good...

    Pop-Up Camper - Custom Build (scratch built) Oasis-Si

    Just got the call... Fabric is done, and being dropped off tomorrow. Sadly, I have been hard down with this stupid finger surgery for the past 2 weeks, so no work has been done. Camper is still in pieces... ugh. I am probably 4 days worth of work away from installing the fabric. But that 4 days...

    Total Composites full introduction!

    Man... that sucks Victorian. I am sorry to hear that the haters and the trolls are making this place somewhere that you cannot be yourself. I know you are a helpful and giving person, and one of the nicer people I have met in the past few years. If there is one thing that I have found out in the...

    Pop-Up Camper - Custom Build (scratch built) Oasis-Si

    Did some more work a couple of days before my hand surgery. After cutting off the wood sides, I needed to re-structure the sides. I ripped up some nice solid Douglas Fir and filled in the gaps where the insulation was now exposed. I used a router to trim the foam out and set the wood in 3/4 x...
