    Hi Peter, thanks for that, I didnt see that part of things in your build thread, did you have any problems mounting it and do you recommend it? Any advice on it? Really like your rig. Yves

    thetford cassette

    has any one purchased a thetford cassette toilet in the US or Canada? If so, where did you get it and how much was it, I have a local RV parts store that can order it for me, $850 + 100 shipping. Is that reasonable? or high?

    Thanks everyone for the nice comments, and sorry for the delay responding but I got busy with work. To answer some of your questions: I really tried to keep the whole rig as low as I could, but you can only do so much, and I would say the lower profile you want to go, the more it will cost...

    funny you would say that, I just watched a fishing show this weekend and they had a tracked snow machine with a couple of openings in the floor for ice fishing, it looked like it was all made for ice fishing, nicely laid out inside so its been done already. They were pulling out some small fish...

    DWH, The manufacturer stated around R7 per inch for the composit, I have heard more, it does have high density polyurathane foam filled cells, I have found it very good, I originally had a mr heater that had 18000btu's that was just too much heat and got rid of that and now use a little 3000btu...

    FG fuel economy

    mpg found a Car & Driver report on the topkick 4500, they stated book mpg's as 8 but they reported getting 9mpg. The ford f450 was showing the same but some people state huge numbers, like 18 city, 22 hwy I really doubt that. Following my bro inlaw while he was towing his fifth wheel in a f350...

    FSOO, If I can remember right, the deck frame was made up of 2x4x 1/8 al. with some formed outside 90' that are 3/8. The top is 1/8. All Aluminum. I believe the total weight came in at around 1200lb's. And the fishing is done here in Canada, unless you go ice fishing but i'm a wimp with the...

    Just a few more from the fall, it needs a lift also,around 3-4" would be good. It is not meant for hard wheeling, just for getting us to our favourite spots that I used to get stuck going to in our westy.

    It is single rear wheel, the only beef I have with the truck is the suspension, I am looking into options, but the ride needs more travel and a shock that works, stock shocks are doing nothing .I have found that the more rough terrain I travel on, the softer the ride gets, its just wearing in...

    pivoting frames and mounting campers

    oh, and yeah it seems to work great, I have around 20,000km on the rig about 6000km of that on dirt trails, and there are no signs of any wear or structure failure, it all seems to be working well together. I felt that if I went with a pivot system it would just sit too high and not be...

    pivoting frames and mounting campers

    just thought I would fuel the fire with my take on cabin mounting, I have my cabin mounted on an aluminum deck, and that deck is sitting on the frame with a UHMW / rubber sandwich, and its held on with a series of springs, solid mount and a thing I call "side load prevent er" alot like a dump...
