A Wrappon Trekker using some backpacker's poo gel and a heating element to seal the bag should not be rocket science to build.
Buy XPS, CoreCell, Diab or Last-a-Foam in sheets.
Buy Vetroresina or FRP in sheets/rolls.
Buy lots of contact cement, industrial adhesive or resin.
Mix together in a bowl and out comes a simple, cheap, lightweight sandwich panel.
This isn't new tech, BLDC generators have been around for years. It seems, however, this is one of the newer systems on the market and has been engineered to be plug and play and nearly 100% dummy-proof.
Send me a PM if you are serious about having one made. A good friend owns a metal fab shop and I have access to a small composites shop. Do you have a dimensioned drawing, budget and time line for the shower pan?
Duravit, Dornbracht, Hansgrohe and Hansa fixtures and taps are all quite spiffy. You do pay more for them, but quality comes at a price. This is especially true in the days of a $100 Home Depot faucet (made in China) being complete crap, is a $400 - $600 tap really that expensive?
Any competent...
Why bother with epoxy resin and fiberglass? The resin is expensive, caustic and a PITA to work with, so is fiber glass. Buy sheets of Vetroresina or 0.060 aluminum, along with XPS foam sheeting and industrial spray glue, et voila! You have a sandwich panel in no time. If you don't have space...
Hi Iain and Trish; I hope this message finds you well. It's tough to tell from the video, but it appears that the skillet on the new cook top has some kind of non-stick coating on it. Please stop using these pans immediately; they are toxic. This is especially concerning with Trish's history...
I have used these for years, sometimes in VERY high doses to kill certain pathogens, and have not had any issues. Unlike bleach, pool chlorine and even the chlorine used by city water treatment facilities, CDS (Chlorine Dioxide in Solution) will not form harmful Chloramines.

If you are looking to get off the beaten path, ski all winter under cloudy snowy skies, don't want to carry a generator, want to boon dock or simply don't like the idea of adding the weight of solar panesl, batteries, inverters and/or generators, add insulation instead. It is cheap and light by...
Why insulation is important in your sandwich panel or why you should add it to a purely structural panel that has good strength, but poor insulation.
To convert the U Factor from BTUs to Watts, simply multiply the value in BTUs by 5.678. For example, if a window has a U Factor of...
I see that there are two basic design strategies for building panels: (a) light and relatively strong, e.g. low-density foam of some kind and carbon or Kevlar skins or (b) something heavier and likely a bit stronger, but not necessarily, e.g. plywood, fiberglass, metal tubing or wood framing...
Greetings, This is going to be a long post, so you may wish to make a cup of tea and get a note pad.
For many years now, the construction of sandwich panels or SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels), has been a bit of a mystery to many in the community. Notice, there is no such thing as a SIP...
Correct, only other conversions with Dynatrac axles and EC FG trucks with Radflo suspension. I am happy to take a spin and write a review if you are offering a ride. ;-)
Has EC/Core undertaken a re-design? It seems to me this would have all been worked out in CAD/FEA and/or real world testing...
I don't want to hijack the thread, but you are on the right track. I have not driven the Rebel truck, but I have seen it at SEMA and can say it was very well constructed. I have driven several Fuso-based Earth Cruiser-built trucks, but not within the last few years. I would expect that quality...
I have ridden in and drive several professionally converted NPR trucks, from different "shops". There wasn't a single drive shaft vibration or steering issue. The truck drove and road much better than stock, in every aspect of the word.
CORE has its own way of doing a conversion, which...
This is a very interesting build. I have seen a 6BT on an engine stand and it isn't small, neither is an LCT1000. Is the current location where the GM 6.5 V8 was? It seems by looking at the pictures that the driveline is quite far back, which is great for weight balance, but terrible from a use...
