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

    Wow, thanks Andrew...much appreciated. It has taken a long time to get to this point, but we are close to the finish line now. Heh I can't take all the credit, I had someone do a lot of the work on this with me. I have been picking away at it for the past year...kind of lost motivation for a...

    1970's 8ft cab-over camper rehab

    They always are. I have a buddy locally who is on his 3rd rebuild I think now... he says the same thing every time!

    Looking for options...

    No personal experience, but both look very nice and both are highly regarded. I have read lots about both, and it would be a hard decision for me to pick one over the other. I think I like the treehouse design a little better... but then again the Go Fast has some very nice features. Honestly...

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

    Managed to wrap up the cabinet doors tonight. After looking at the hinges again for a good solid 6 minutes, I realized that they are actually VERY simple to put in and to get correct. Measure where the overlap is for the upper and lower cabinet frame, mark a line, place hinge flush with line...

    Slide in Camper Survey

    Oh sure... NOW you add a slide in camper to your offerings. Now that I am 90% done building mine, heh. All kidding aside, I am looking at a full-sized full-size pickup (3/4 ton or one ton) in the near future to hold a BIG camper. So this, might be an option. I have seen the finished products...

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

    Finally got back out there and put in a few hours on the camper. It's all (mostly) small stuff I am dealing with now, so it's lots of picking and fiddling and 4 hours later it doesn't look like you got very far. But, it still feels good to be making progress. Today was all about finishing the...

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

    So funny story. The place I ordered my Lagun from shipped it super fast... and then FedEx lost it in shipping. Booo So I contacted the shipper, the folks I bought it from (after dealing with FedEx and them looking for it everywhere). He was very helpful, he got on with his FedEx contact... and...

    Watches - ExPo Style

    They are fantastic watches... mine sadly sits on the shelf all the time. I wear my Samsung S3 Frontier daily, and have for the past couple of years. I love the functionality and all the features, but it eats battery life up pretty quick with all the 'stuff' turned on. Superb watch. I am also...

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

    Sold the table leg... that was quick. Apparently these are hard to come by right now? Who knew. Add that to my canvas savings fund!

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

    Ok...last update for today, I promise. It's just now turning dark, and I just finished cleaning up... so that was about 8 hours of picking away at this thing today...need to get it done finally. Anyhow, final updates on Lagun install, which is done (and it is amazing). Installed and swung out...

    2020 Ram 1500 Build

    I have been very happy with my Gen 4 Ram 1500. I have a 2014, and it has been rock solid reliable so far. Runs great, lots of power and not terrible on fuel mileage. I like the Eco Diesel option... I am running a gasser 5.7L however. Next up for me will be a 2500 or a 3500 for a MUCH bigger...

    Basic van buildout questions

    There are a couple of van conversion builds that I think you should look at. One is a YouTuber called 'Paul the Punter' and his van build is pretty much textbook what I would do. It is a HIGH end custom build by a professional shop, but there is a lot to pull inspiration from. I would suggest...

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

    Another few hours of progress. Well first I had to do some regression, take a few steps backwards... then move forward. I ripped out the stationary up-down table leg to prep for installing the Lagun leg. I basically started with this. I love this table leg, VERY sturdy and looks amazing, but it...

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

    I spent some time this past weekend and this week re-building the fridge slide and drawer system. I was not happy with the way it was coming together, and it had some challenges the way that it was setup. So, of course, I pulled it apart and re-did it all with the exception of the drawer base...
