    Introduction and My Ford Fiberine Super Camper build

    I think that the sheathing in the picture is made from a type of OSB that shreds the wood into strings rather than flakes.

Maybe shuttles are making a lot of slow, lock to lock steering where the tires may scrub. Box truck, to me, seems a better starting point like...

    Call me crazy, but I want a shuttle bus.

    DIY Insulation - What's the standard these days?

    Birdman, I'm grateful that you posted these questions. They have been kicking around my head too. My approach is based on two different perspectives. First, a camper van with a metal shell that doesn't breath. Second, many weeks of winter camping where moisture management is the key to...

    Very clever solution I'm not a fan of bungee cords. They stretch at the worst times. I'd use webbing with metal friction buckles like is used to strap Kayaks into racks or ratchet straps

    Which e350?

    The high top has the higher potential right off the bat. 351 is dependable too. I had an '82 E 250 that went to the crusher with 240k. Only engine work was a rear intake manifold gasket. It was strong enough to haul my brush chipper and tandem trailer loads of logs. Pay a mechanic look at it...
