You don't. I can't believe you were trying to school us on mounting to the subframe, and you haven't even thought of this... Best guess since you didn't put reinforcement in the panel is to bond reinforcement externally and mount to that.

The XPCamper V2 is another. I'm not a fan of this style... or any pop-up for that matter.

It's definitely got some #1 as well. I said when it came out that it was a modern version of an oversized muscle car, with a zero to 60 of 2.6s. The truck bed and rear seat are bonuses. And the $100k price for that model is far from silly considering what other vehicles cost. No EV is viable...

Regarding ground clearance, one of the more challenging situations is going through a ravine, and dragging the rear. Your trailer will tend to hit that way before your jeep if they have the same clearance. I'd go for the same diameter tires your jeep has. The simple and efficient way to make a...

Ya, avoid wrenching critical components every time if at all possible. The bars are the tough one. If you already have the garage, this probably won't work, but if the garage side walls were straight up and you turned your bars as much as you needed to, wouldn't it fit? You may need to get...

What is the coating? And pardon my poor memory, but what foam did you use? The light grey PU paint I used on the roof is whiter than my white truck! But that's fine, it's good to keep it from overheating. You can use whatever you want on the sides, because even in calm conditions the sun is...

Steel bolts holding it on... like on composite campers. I didn't ignore it. Show your analysis and experiments.

^ I like Tefgel... great lube for SS bicycle spoke threads and aluminum nipples.

Definitely good waterproofing and paint the exterior white.

Diagram? Frankly... if I had a choice in the matter, I'd take habitat falling apart due to a cross wind, vs the whole rig being knocked over. :unsure: :p At any rate, you can make a decent estimate of the forces on the attachment, when there is a side force sufficient to flip the rig. Just...

What environment will you be in? It's not how I would do it, but a simple build with good 1/2" ply should work. Glue and screw it together, and coat the exterior with something durable and waterproof. No exposed screws, seams, or penetrations if you can help it.

I go through < 2lb... so I guess you can't go by me.

A 3.6L Wrangler should be a lot better than 11 though, 20 at least on the highway...no? Fuelly says overall average ~18 vs ~22 for the diesel.

If going offroad, definitely the Aeon. I'd put a little bigger tires on it (VC says 265/75r16 (31.6") work with that lift vs 245). Better build, much more powerful engine, better ground clearance, cheaper maintenance... but less room. Aeon would still be lacking offroad compared to a truck...

Just sayin'... if they come for you and put you in a straight jacket, and stick you in a padded cell... don't let them know you did that. Tell them you were willing to pay 2x for a vehicle with all the metrosexual doodads. They might let you go...

It appears that the sleeping orientation will be 90 degrees (E-W), which means one person will be deeply buried in a tight space, and won't be able to pee without forcing the other to get out of bed. If you never need to pee in the night or go to bed late, then that can be your spot. Otherwise I...

I don't know about the NPR with a 4WD conversion but the 550/5500s turn sharper than any pickup. The added front track width allows this. Also, how much vertical space do you have in the berth once a mattress is in? It looks very tight. I hope you've tested that this is acceptable.

Only on slide-ins and they only do it because they have to. There is no floor attachment at all; the only thing keeping the camper on is those 4 turnbuckles. That 3500 lbs you mentioned is almost always pointed down; resting on the bed. TC uses 1/4" fiberglass tubing in the core, with a steel...

FUD Show me your work. BTW how is yours attached?

^Like I said. I didn't mean outside the Walmart, but inside...
