Food for thought, with regards to relative humidity in North America.

So I did a bit more digging into the Lunas eGO as well as the E2 units. And again, HRV units have their place, but you have to decide whether or not it is justified for your use case. For those interested in these... there are a couple of items Id suggest you look into further There doesnt look...

For efficiency reasons.... We try to avoid serious heat :D

Definitely interesting, though pretty far removed from essentially near any camper built on this forum, let alone the typical camper usage. For the given use-case though, Id say it should be worthwhile from a simple fuel efficiency standpoint. Though time will tell as it is obviously completely...

If the camper will see any use below freezing, concerns about thermal bridging are far from overrated. Here is a specific example of a wood framed camper, using 3/4x1-1/2 VG fir framing, 1/4 ply exterior skin, and 1/8 interior ply skins.' This is at roughly 20 degrees F as I recall, and we...

No worries! And to be clear, I do feel like there is benefit to such a device, regardless of cabin/home size. However, IMO there is a serious question of justification. And I simply do not see the justification, considering the drawbacks. Cost and cost of install Complexity More weight Needs...

Then its time to get the motor and trans sorted and mated. Fresh rear main seal, freshly surfaced flywheel, proper Japanese pilot bearing and Exedy clutch kit including throw-out bearing. And after the typical nonsense getting things lined back up, engine and trans were mated and in the...

Freshly rebuild calipers, new coated rotors (no pads installed yet), and suspension back together. Factory struts test fine, so they were repainted and reused. Time will tell if those actually need replaced. ;) Im also ditching the front sway bar for now. Word on the street is these are...

As I have said, and exactly why I will hold my stance on these units in campers. Its a moisture issue, NOT a heat issue. And all this speak about "real world" and your assumption that leaving a window cracked in cold temps is the end of the world... We do it all the time. And I can assure you...

Yep. Dont overlook drop-down/swing down carriers I opted for one for the Tracker to keep the weight down as it involves much less steel, is more simple, and I really just don't care for the look of the typical swing away That said, if I had another place to put this one spare Id do it. And...

Been waiting on parts, mainly seals. All are finally here, so things are going back together :cool: At this rate I should be dropping motor and trans back into the chassis this weekend.

'cause its cool brah! :ROFLMAO:

Took about a month, but the NOS Suzuki oil pump finally arrived. So motor is officially buttoned up now. :cool: Pump was primed with assembly lube, fresh chain guide adjusted for proper chain tension, and torqued down. Then the pan was glued and fastened. Good to go!

Factory locker(s) is an absolute game changer for full size trucks. Toss some good tires on a truck these days and it can go places it really shouldn't.

Yep, if you still have sway you clearly haven't sorted out tongue weight yet.

So I FINALLY found something that is (re)useable. :D So far I feel like everything Ive unbolted deserved nothing more than a trip to the dumpster. The front wheel bearings happened to be in great shape, so things were cleaned up, all new seals, repacked with synthetic grease, and reassembled.

Attention was then directed towards the front axle. Ive sourced a set of 5.12 diffs front and rear, but the front still utilizes the OEM air actuated diff. While the diff itself is relatively reliable, the compressor needed to actuate it is not, and I just assume not deal with it. So the diff...

Happy Holidays all The chassis was stripped of the front axle, steering components, suspension components, etc... Then cleaned up, degreased, pressure washed, and treated to a heavy coating of chassis saver paint. factory steering rack was inspected and cleaned up, and after chassis paint was...

First and foremost for our use with regards to hardside is uncompromising protection from weather, not safety. Though safety is increased, as is insulation from not only the outside weather but noise. Softside popups have their benefits, but they are not for everyone. If you have ever...

A few months ago I picked up a set of Renegade GTX on sale. They are my every day boots now. Lots of reasons they are so stinking popular. They are FAR from the boot the Baffin/Tibet is, being considerably lighter duty. But they are comfortable, lightweight, and sturdy (enough) I put 16-20k...
