    Hydronic floor tubing?

    Basically, the whole isle is a hatch. So, all or nothing. Thoughts? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Hydronic floor tubing?

    I am looking at doing hydronic floor heating. My camper will be heated with a diesel hydronic heater, so adding floor heating is only a plumbing and time expense. In my case, I will have access hatches in the floor to gain access to my gray tank and house batteries. What type of tubing are...

    ACELA 6X6 WITH SLRV EXPEDITION BOX NEW BUILD

    So my comments were just in the gray water tank. I am trying to size what I want and I am looking closer at 50 gallons. The 26 gallons seamed a bit small. Did you find that was a limiting factor? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rail on rail subframe end treatment.

    I would if I could…. They don’t have a builders’ guide. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wow, that seams really small. I think even a casita has that size gray tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rail on rail subframe end treatment.

    All, I was looking at rail on rail subframe end treatments and came across a bunch of conflicting information. Fuso does it this way: https://www.mitfuso.com/files/BDD-Fuso-2015-16-FE.FG.pdf Mack Trucks does it this way...

    lateral movement on 'rail on rail'

    If you know the max displacement of your frame at the end, take that and the width of your subframe to make an isosceles triangle. One leg is the total max displacement of your springs, the other two are the widths of your subframe. Take the small angle that is left. Then take that small angle...

    lateral movement on 'rail on rail'

    So page 7 figure 7 shows a fish plate that is welded on the top and bolted on the bottom. That is a fish plate. They are used to rigidly joint two structural pieces of steel. One end of the subframe is often secured with a fishplate, but I have seen other methods to fix one end. Page 10...

    lateral movement on 'rail on rail'

    Fish plates are something else. They are used to join two beams together and often are welded. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    lateral movement on 'rail on rail'

    I have seen it done where they used an extra long U bolt with springs under the nuts to allow separation. The U bolts were used to restrain lateral movement. At one end, the u bolts were tightened down to create a “fixed” end. They also had the camper blocked at the back so the camper could...

    Pass-through really necessary?

    My vote is a door on each side of the pass through to seal out noise and temperature. Make sure at least one is lockable. That is my plan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pass-through really necessary?

    I could *really* use a pass through right now. I plan to have one “soon”.

    WHO HAS MADE THEIR OWN PANELS?

    I think it is PL Premium fro Locktite. Yes, they did mist water. I think they said in the comments it was one large sausage per side of a 4x8 panel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    WHO HAS MADE THEIR OWN PANELS?

    I considered using flat sheet metal (the kind steel buildings are made from). You can get them as flat metal, already painted. Then just doing it like ambition strikes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    12v to 24v trickle charger

    I think Victron makes one. I may be wrong…..It would be under Dc to Dc chargers. No experience with them, but that is a place to look. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Recirculating Showers?

    An important issue I have seen some designs create. I would not trust a check valve to keep my fresh water system from my recirculating system. I have seen it done a few times and it always makes me cringe. Check valves are not perfect. That is why most plumbing code has an air gap between...

    2 spare tires?

    See…. If you carry two spares, you don’t get any flats! Murpheys law. But seriously, I once wished I had two spares, but a compressor and plugs would have kept us going. I now carry two spares, a compressor, and a plug kit. I think your distance from civilization is key. We had two flats and...
