    Expedition Trailer "must have" and "wish list" items

    So have you built a trailer? How's it going? A must-have feature for me is the ability to go inside it and stand up. I want to be able to have the bed fully accessable/made up and still have some room to stand and change, make coffee if it's nasty out, etc. Curious why you keep talking about...

    RAISE THE ROOF...top tent!

    That's pretty clever in some ways, but it doesn't look like it would have any stability in the raised (or lowered for that matter) position and would get wrecked pretty quick in actual usage. It's a good start on a proof of concept though. I wonder how he plans to hold it in position.

    overland expo east tickets

    I already bought a weekend pass to get my body into the event, but camping was sold out. Can i just buy a vehicle pass from you and then camp there? I suspect that the way they've set ticketing up with a bunch of options, kind of a-la-carte is actually pretty good, but that maybe they're not...

    Custom lightweight camping trailer

    Nice! I really like what you've done here. It's been a couple years now, any changes or reports? I've been considering something similar as well, but i want it to be a little more automatic/fast setup than what this one sounds like (more like 10 minutes than 30, we'll see if that's...

    Construction Method: Foam Sandwich / Composite panels? Good materials to use?

    Thanks for the responses. I'll have to look into meranti, i've never heard of it. Also thanks for mentioning tnttt canvas/woodglue. I'd actually seen that before but had forgotten about it. Cool looking camper IdaSHO.

    Construction Method: Foam Sandwich / Composite panels? Good materials to use?

    I suppose "composite" can mean nearly anything. I'd like to build (we'll see if i can come up with the time to do it!) a lightweight and compact camp trailer, very custom. It doesn't need to be expedition tough, it won't venture too far off-road. One construction method that seems appealing is...

    Webasto 2000 heater for $350?!

    http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Webasto-2KW-Air-Top-2000ST-heater_903057570.html How sketchy is it to order from alibaba? This vendor appears to be selling the webasto heater for cheap in quantities as low as one. I'm not sure what shipping would cost, or of anything else, but it could be...

    SOLD: TruckFridge TF49 12 volt fridge 49 liter

    If you like the fridge but my price isn't right, make an offer. I'm not sure exactly what's fair, but it doesn't seem that i should need to discount a lot since it is basically brand new and has lots of warranty remaining.

    SOLD Small sink - 15"x15"

    I have a small sink i was going to install in a camper van project, but i ended up abandoning the project, so now I have this sink. You can use it for the same thing (a camper van) or RV, boat, bar, space ship, whatever. It's 15"x15" on the very outside. The hole in the counter can be probably...

    Some one please buy one of these and make it 4X4!

    Couple of interesting features there. I've never seen a single large molded fridge/sink/cabinet setup like that. Appears to be a poor downstairs bed design, looks like it lays down so low to the ground that there isn't room for storage below it. Fatal flaw if that is true.

    Betty Boop 87 Syncro Tdi

    Love the syncros. I sure miss my westy but i just had to have AWD/4WD. If i had the money, i'd get a high-top syncro, drop a modern engine in it, do lots of soundproofing, get cruise control, etc, etc, etc, etc, $$$, $$$, $$$, $$$ :-) You've got a very nice one there!
