I have one of the portable tanks, it has wheels. The what they have them set up is pretty good these days. Mine has a built in fitting for a spray rinse with a one way valve on it. With a short hose you could easily empty the porta pot in the large tank
Well I did initially. But as a min I would do the fiberglass cloth and epoxy.
I am typically anti wood in anything structural. But if I had to do a wood one, I would do a full fiberglass layup to seal it.
The surfaces are pretty good, the edges esp cut ones do swell when they get wet. Yes some is better than others, but using marine ply is over all better quality. But you should still use fiberglass and epoxy. The epoxy will seal the wood somewhat, but the glass will help stabilize the surface...
Osb will not hold up to any leaks, even the smallest leak can ruin it if it cant dry out. A small leak will let water in but not out. Go with quality plywood and put down fiberglass and epoxy and do every exterior surface to create a complete seal. Then do the bed liner if thats what you mean...
dont use osb.
And using a fiberglass skin is easy, and fast. But I believe in gluing down, and thats not what most say to do. Roll on the epoxy, put the skin on and roll it out and your done except trimming.
I can stand up inside, yippee.
I need to make the supports to hold it, paint every thing then make the tent. But at last I can stand up, in the center it is about 6' and on the right about 6'6" or so.
It lifts nice and smooth, lifting force is only 30 lbs or so.
My 2x3 .120 tongue with a center and 2 angled pieces by a calculator I found was good for a 4500 lb trailer with brakes. I also found a calculator that I had to fudge some numbers told me that my tongue would fail with some where over 20k pounds of load, or about 10g's of force using the weight...
Look up sawtooth ultimate and my build here for composite panel construction.
Sawtooth is more a detailed build than mine, but I have a few other details he does not.
Okay first hinge for the pop top made, it works as it should and is nice and smooth in operation. It is an unbalanced lift to tilt the roof as it goes up, it is made of steel, so more than strong enough. I just need to cut the cross bars for the second one to finish it, it is so nice have a mill...
I guess I should follow up to my last post.
Madden voyage, was a 800 mile round trip to a large paintball event in north caolina with over 800 players. It towed great with my 95 tacoma at an average highway speed of 72-73. The torque curve in the tacoma meant it towed better at the 72 mph than...
Edges are fine, it got its madden voyage a couple of weeks ago, 400 miles each way to north carolina. Slept in it for 3 nights, everything worked except I changed a latch on the kitchen slide out door and it wont stay latched. I need to mod it slightly.
It towed great up to 80 mph once , most...
look up sylpoly or silnylon. its the very slick very water proof cloth used to make high end tents and tarps. Its tricky to sew because its very slippery. One trick is to use silicon seam sealer to glue the joints then sew them after it cures. Thats how I did my awning.
You might want to look up ACM. Its used for signs, it has 2 AL skins with a plastic layer in the middle. I have seen and heard prices of 50 to 80 bucks a sheet.
