AZ isn't so warm right now, how warm is the caulk? Plenty of sealants that flow at room temp (60º+) get pretty unworkable below 40º, don't know if that might help your case...

I'm having a hard time seeing why you need so much output, do the windows close? Looked at the build thread, obviously you're not afraid of engineering solutions, but I don't see the problem that 240v. answers. That's a huge mini-split for a bus-sized space, even if it is all metal and glass. I...

⬆️ Why do I find the use of I so annoying?

how many pieces?

Regular 120v. outlet, weatherproof, pretty easy to install

How hard is it to put the heater outside (or in a box outside) and supply & deliver the water from the inside? Worth challenging some braincells with that before you snuff them-

Welcome home! Good news about the chicken death killer--I didn't imagine it was actually possible to get rid of that smell. When will you start the LS swap?

Why not hang them off the side? Might keep a window from opening, but the access is good and it won't tank your aerodynamics. I've seen padded hooks on campers that probably have a means to lash/lock down the boards, looks pretty easy.

Spending $284 for a Cerbo when the BMV 712 does everything needed except connect is a little tough to swallow.

Refletix is basically mylar, very low insulating value without a sealed airspace next to it, but it is the international sign that someone is living in a vehicle. the airspace and insulation value of a double-layer of bubble wrap or 5mm open-cell foam is not that impressive R-6.5/ inch is only...

For countertop/ workspace illumination I often use a 12v. tape with 36 diodes/foot that puts about 230 lumens out (per foot) and uses 2.93 watts. The same material with half the diodes has half the lumens & wattage requirements. The Diode LED Blaze series is from a NV company (Elemental LED)...

Why not run the 12v light strips from the 12v battery system and skip the 12v to 120v to 12 v conversion? To answer your other question, the voltage drop between the power source and the light will dictate how you need to supply the fixtures. If the wire between the power is long enough, the...

Get a beer and read this... or at least the first few posts https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/how-to-make-a-cheap-isolated-dual-battery-setup-for-50.77503/ Put the fridge in your bed, hook it up to a deep-cycle/ lithium battery next to it & run some heavy cables under the cab to the...

MaxxAir makes a 6" round manual pop-up fan that claims to move 900 c.f.m.... which should empty any camper in no time. https://www.rvupgradestore.com/MaxxAir-00-03810W-MaxxFan-Dome-Roof-Vent-With-LEDs-p/14-9981.htm For insulation, hot-glue might work and is removable, unlikely to damage the...

lookup "limb riser" for design ideas. Unless your vehicle flexes along the length, the twisting of the chassis won't change the length of a cable much more than a single spring can handle.

Built-up an '08 Frontier, probably the exact same bed as the new one (if it's 6'). Longbed is easier to sleep in and the extra wheelbase seems to help more than hurt. I don't know if you can order an SL with the rear locker, but that would be my choice over the pro-x, especially if you planned...

How is this twice as good as any $250 MT tire?

How much would it cost to make the garage longer?

You can try this, not a huge investment if the computer/alternator don't like it. https://www.bluesea.com/products/7610/SI-ACR_Automatic_Charging_Relay_-_12_24V_DC_120A I use one with an optima starting battery and a marine deep-cycle house battery, 380w. of solar with a Victron MPPT and my...

This sounds really good, a drifter without having to find Phil! Sent an email, I'm in your neighborhood, I'd like to come by and discuss when you're free. Thanks for stepping in, I know just about everyone would rather have a camper than their money back.
