    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    Camping World and probably Amazon, sell white semi-rigid tubing that is split along it's length and comes in 3' sections. The idea is, you start at the back of the vehicle with the first piece and then overlap the next section, and the third, etc. That only works for awnings like the Carefree...

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    You might want to add a tubular rub rail system along each side, that stands off from the body an inch or two. It could be used as tie down points also if you need them. Maybe something similar to this...

    Nope, not lifepo4 batteries but I wish it were because they cost more than a generator does! This is what I'm using... This is a FullRiver DC250-6 Deep-Cycle AGM Battery and I am using four of these wired in a series/parallel configuration, for a total of 500 Ah.

    Point Five Ambo Build

    Yup! I have been planning all along to use a Honda EU3000I that I have, but I bought an enclosure for the tongue to put it in and after some careful measuring I discovered the Honda is too tall, and won't fit once it's mounted on a slide out tray. My good friend Bob Renz is mounting a...

    Here's something you don't see every day, SWAT Truck Project

    I see the Ford emblem on the front of it, but what model truck is that? Also, it looks like it's 2WD, correct? My build is a Wheeled Coach Type I Ambulance rear body, mounted on a custom built trailer frame with a 10,000 lb. Rockwell trailer axle underneath it. If, in the future I decided to...

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    I'll bet Amazon or McMaster has those 'clamp Jackets". I'll look for them when I get a chance. My main computer crashed two days ago, so I ordered a new power supply and 4 monitor video card for it. Welcome to the world of back pain, I live with it 24/7. Mine has gotten so bad, I can barely...

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    Those Andersen hitches are not that wide, maybe 5 - 6 inches so they will probably sink into soft ground without a base plate of some sort. The nice thing about them is, you put them in place on the low side and just pull forward until your bubble gage reads level. My plan is to have a gage...

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    I bought a set of these Andersen Hitches 3604 x2 Plus 2 Authentic Rubber Mats, but I haven't tried them out yet. I've had good luck with Loctite PL Premium Fast Grab Polyurethane Construction Adhesive for things that nothing else would hold. Plus, it's waterproof also.

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    I've connected multiple clamps together in the past to make a larger one also. I just wish they would include a 'keeper' of some sort to keep the tail down flush with the band, similar to what is on a watch band. It would make for a much neater installation and help prevent those nasty cuts...

    E350 10ft Box Van

    Thanks for the info! Right now, I don't have any windows in my ambulance that open so I would only benefit from the shades. The only windows I have now are in the three doors, so they can't be made any larger. However, if they have drop in replacements that will fit without the holes needing...

    I just noticed your window shades, and I like them. Can you tell me where you found them and possibly post a link? Thanks!
