Bed frame was screwed to the walls and bolted together, next was to make up the extend a bed. Weird picture here with all the reflections! Eerie. This bit kicked my butt, everything I did I did twice! Funny how that goes, sometimes it goes well and sometimes its a struggle. An...

Another thing that needed to be finalized was the step storage. Shoe storage in here. Its deep and big enough for more than shoes. This panel will be removable,,, to access the pump, filter and expansion tank. What a crappy pic! Then took it all out and strengthened it a...

That article was the deciding factor to make a tank with epoxy, I read between the lines when legally they state they don't recommend their system for water tanks but when you do make a tank do this............................... to make it better, haha! I am more worried about breathing our...

Yep, I used to do that on my oil pan on my suby powered westy too, works well.

Next up is the unit I call "Heat Corner" or HC for short. Here HC sits in pieces having been prepped up with epoxy eagerly awaiting assembly! Here HC is mostly assembled with strategic orifices aligned with one of HC's heating units. All plumbed up. At home with fellow heat...

I did research it and your list is a good one, I also heard that a vinegar/water solution also help's, but like you stated its the hardener that's the main concern. So the best way is heat and proper mixture,the West System states that you shouldn't change the hardener/ resin ratio. Proper...

Water tank is complete! Here are a few pics. Lid upside down getting a layer of cloth and epoxy. The table leg will sit above this extra strength area. The opposite side of this area got the same. Test fit on the lid. I tried to look inside the tank with the lid on to see if it made a...

Another idea that has been thrown around and is something that I plan to complete is using an aluminum stair tread, these are light weight and relatively strong, can be had in any length and do come in several widths. My plan is to get a 12" tread and an 8" tread, beef them up a bit with some...

:Wow1:

OK,, what's going on in the second to last image on that video?? Looks like the back end is in the air but nobody driving?? Nice video though, good portrayal of the abilities and benefits of these vehicles!

I have to agree with the thought process that you have employed considering weight, I bet if every camper on the road was put on a scale there would be an incredibly huge percentage of them over gross!! I believe most people are in denial about how much their rigs weigh when in camping mode...

Not to hijack this thread but Harald, you need to make a trip report with some of those amazing pictures, excellent stuff.

'Fluid Film'!! The best stuff! can be used like WD 40, but doesnt evaporate away, keeps a nice film that is waterproof and lubricates, I use it on everything but is a bit pricey, thats the only spray lube that I carry with me all the time,,, recommended .. buy it!! made with lanolin. I...

Yes you are right dwh, box sits on the flat deck,, so to remove at this point I would need to disconnect the electric cable from the batteries, remove the steps ( 6 screws ) and remove the many bolts along the sides used to connect to the flat deck, then mount some jacks on the corners and lift...

I remember seeing that rig somewhere, do you have a link to it? Maybe I'll try a search. But that is a neat way of doing the drop sides, I think when I saw it I thought it looked very heavy?? Any other ideas out there for a step extension?

Any time there is no mention of price usually freaks me out, but does anyone know the approximate price on one of these?? What would one expect? Or is it in the strictly "unobtainium" catagory, and being the only game in town will GXV be selling these as cab/frame or only with a GXV camper on...

Brian, thanks for the compliments, I am pretty sure that I would fit into a High Cube without doing anything, they are 8' 6" door height, and I will take a few measurements to see if when using some wheel slugs I could fit into a standard height container which are 7' 6" door height, width is...

steps On a different note,, here are a few images of a step extension used on a Coleman tent camper, the step when up protects the door, and with a simple mechanism extend down to a platform that is solid and spacious..I took these several years ago thinking I would do something similar. I...

Ford Prefect, I think I saw that rig on here somewhere, that is some serious complexity going on there, looks doable for me if I undo a few things and mount some jacks:) the pass through does take some space for sure, for me it would be next to the bed, so would need to be closed most of the...

water tank chronicles Last year I installed what I thought at the time would be my water tanks, two poly tanks, 14 gallons each for a total of 28 gals, not allot, and the inefficient use of space was starting to get to me, I knew that if I didn't do something it would always bug me...
