    Custom aluminum gladiator camper. Vagabond Vault

    overall weight will be in the 500# range. I can literally put that on the bumper hitch, It it weighted 1000# plus it would be a little more concerning.

    the weight is going to be less than the payload by quite a bit. right now with me in it I am getting very little squat. like 1/2" I am 200lbs so thats about 1.5 times the finished interior weight maybe even double. I have zero concerns right now about the weight. If it does prove to squat too...

    insulation extruded Polysteyrene vs extruded polyethylene

    I haven't. However it is closed cell and has thousands of tiny air bubles per sq in" I thought its R value would be decent. I still believe it would. However due to the difficulty in gluing to PolyE I think I may stick to PolyS. I just hope it does not de-laminate over time since my internal...

    insulation extruded Polysteyrene vs extruded polyethylene

    For my aluminum camper I will be gluing the insulation directly to the skin on the inside and then gluing a laminate over the insulation for the finished interior. Has anyone use the closed cell polyethylene product as an insulation layer? It seems like i'd have way less chance of it...
