The answer depends on what acrylic you are considering. The acrylic panes used in our windows are made of Lucite Perspex, which is a top quality material. It meets the strict European ECE standards for UV degradation in motor vehicles. Lucite gives a 10 year warranty against any measurable...

Well, when you're stuck you use whatever you have, but that scenario is liable to be a very long day for you. a vehicle that heavy, even lightly stuck is a stout pull with any hand operated winch. Also bear in mind that 3/16" cable is not half of 3/8". It's about 1/4 the strength of 3/8"...

good clear goggles like these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BQUTQS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I can't tell you how many times I have had to crawl under a vehicle in the middle of nowhere; dirt and debris raining down on me. Safety glasses are not enough because...

Just for reference HDPE and UHMW are not the same thing. They are both derivatives of polyethylene, but their material characteristics should be chosen according to use. Not mentioned in the link below is that UHMW has higher lubricity and wear resistance. Another consideration, if the idea...

A few facts that support why we prefer acrylic: Glass weighs 2.14X more than acrylic This will matter if you are building on a weight budget. Acrylic is 5.25X more thermally efficient than glass. That's why glass condenses water and acrylic does not. The thermal penalty for having larger...

Tern Overland will be at Overland Expo West in space A2. We hope everyone has a chance to stop by and see for themselves how these windows, hatches and doors are constructed. Arctic Tern cargo access doors are literally double the thickness and strength of typical RV doors, and they have...

No first hand experience with the trucks, but I do know David Ronsen who owns Acela. He is a good guy and VERY knowledgable about the conversions he is doing.

You are right about that Nick, I misspoke. Thanks for catching it. I will have to check with the manufacturer.

Hi Jon, The plugs are rated for 16 amps at 220-240 volts. Yes, you would need to make up your own cords. That is why I will be selling the male plug and the female receptacle separately. You can make up more than one supply cord if needed. The receptacle is $39.00, and the male plugs are $12...

There is a lot of discussion on the web about Azdel and delamination. It goes back many years, so maybe they have figured out how to keep it together. Sounds like a great product if not for the delamination issue.

Yea, that aluminum will be a condensation monster! I would try to source some thin fiberglass sheeting, or possibly a thin epoxy saturated marine plywood. Using a totally bonded attachment (polyurethane) will give you some resistance to cold bridging since the film thickness needs to be .040...

LOL, Yea, it just takes the standard hose from the back, I think you are right: 1 1/4". For some reason I was thinking service hose :confused: I just bought 15 of them to see if people liked them. Looks like I may have underestimated the demand. They will be here mid...

Sadly Frank, we get a lot of calls from people with the "other" brand, wondering whether our parts interchange. They do not. The best we can do is find a window of similar size. The parts issue was a big deal to me. When we visited the manufacturer recently, one condition that I had was...

JC, It's pretty good size, but I don't have one in hand yet to measure. Are you talking OD or ID? It think 1 1/2 OD would certainly fit. Usually when you quote hose size it is ID though

Hi Frank, Just to be clear, the lock is in the cap, not in the door. It is not a cheesy little lock either. It is the same barrel mechanism and heavy duty key that is used in the cargo and Euro entry doors. I can match all the locks to one key number for a low fee. Having unlocked...

Sorry, I didn't realize that it wasn't obvious to everyone. Our website is www.ternoverland.com I've updated my original post too. Best, David

It's right under my signature :)

Thanks Jon, We didn't set out to be importers, but in our search for quality items for our own builds, we realized just how bad the problem here was. Trying to import quality items for a few builds was way too costly, and we could forget about any kind of service after the sale. We ended...
