But they might know someone who does. Making phone calls will at least give you some ideas of if someone in the area is capable or not and you need to go further

Arclab has some nice looking work! There has to be some body builders in the Toronto area... Take a look at cube vans and look for the manufacturer sticker on them call those people.

our current build is in a van. The insurance is not very cooperative about insuring the inside and upgrades, it needs to be apraised by a certified apraiser but cant find any in the area, and they wont provide a list... thinking of contacting different insurance companies. we used to live in...

Wow that’s crazy I wonder how much it flexed

Such a complete answer! We are not looking at off-roading, we do drive 5-10hours to get places regularly but 90%highway. I love the passtrough, simplicity and cargo space in the van. I don’t like the wind pushing us around and the road noise and the few rattles we managed to limit them a...

Oh no! How was it frame from factory? 1x1 wood studs and roof support? Happy to hear you got it back in shape maybe wise to put a temp wall in the middle?

Now the big question van vs truck How is Wind noise in the cab down the road? Do you miss the pass through? Cab comfort for long drives? Other + and - ? I’m looking at truck camper setup I think the comfort and quietness of the cab would be better in a truck, but man do we love to pullover...

That’s why I don’t carry a spare in my cars. Originally from drag racing days, but the one car that kept its spare would always have flat tires, now I remove them store it with the off season tire and never got a flat since.

love this! I am currently sketching a floorplan for a 12' main floor plus overhead bed, a big foot fifthwheel seems like an amazing solution to saving a lot of time and making it not look home made like you said! I always loved driving around our work topkick except when unloaded... haha...

Didn’t verify for autocorrect mistakes. But yeah I’d get a heater and not bother with extra insulation

Not sure I would even bother with extra insulation. It’s such a debated topic, you have a small space, any heater you outback in will be more than sufficient to heat the space without added insulation. Adding insulation just raises risks of humidity,condensation,rust,mold.. Unless you spray...

Amazing rig!

I bought mine from Discountvantruck. I should go and take pictures they are ridiculous. ... I will have to see if I can redrill or modify them and see if they will swivel from there or if i chuck them entirely. growing up we had a gmc rally van with swivel seats, they might have been taller...

that's a really cool project! when we replace the van I will be looking for something similar in size and shape. very cool!

tabarnak! ( thats all i have to say)

That thing will be a beast! Can’t wait to see more pictures of it!!

That’s certainly good to hear, I was also very scared that a camper that long would be rear heavy and that the front end would be super light and bouncy. I’m planning a building an 11’ camper, I wanted the longer wheelbase for weight distribution and ride comfort but if weight is not an issue...

Working on the weekend

******** that freaking blows! I would not be a happy camper

Don’t do Chinese tires please. We tried them on some backhoes instead of the Michelin’s or Goodyear.. one set lasted one day blew the sidewalks off them, the other set lasted 2 months and were bald, Michelin’s would last 2years with our type of use. I would try to find used tires before he...
