I have read that the 12v appliances are cheaper, in a lot of places, but the appliances would be a fridge and hydronic heater they seem to be the same either way. The stove uses no power and some other items are more electronics will include a computer monitor, printer, networking / wireless...

Just wanted to get some insight from people who have a 24v electrical system on their campers, have there been any drawbacks of having the 24v system over a 12v one? Currently looking into the planning stages of the electrical system for a new camper, the vehicle has a 12v system, after looking...

Here is one of the window openings in the side wall, originally I was trying to proceed with the build with no wood at all, but the cost of alternative panels was just not economical. Also decided not to go with dual pane glass windows for weight and durability reasons, these acrylic ones are...

I guess here's the start of panel cutting and the first steps towards building the physical camper. Temporary work table Front panel Roof, seems much larger than I anticipated, tried to keep things small, but the pieces sure don't seem small Makeshift foam cutter Completed Panel

You could use an IDC connector like the following and solder your 14 awg wires onto the terminals Sorry I missed the light part, if it's for lights then why not use the 9000 series plugs, you can get them in terminal and housings to crimp your self or I do believe some people have a male...

It looks like there is no more changing how wide the camper will be anytime soon, the pieces barely fit.

Jeep that's good information, would you happen to know what information Barry Controls would need, or what they asked for to assist in the product selection? I currently have the loads at each point, weight, acceleration, and some other information, but they seem to involve a lot of frequency...

I have been running some numbers for a little bit, just curious are there any preferred mounts that people have been using on a 3-point setup on the rear two I was planning on using some Barry Controls 22003 Series mounts, after getting finished with the numbers it seems that the capacity will...

I believe the main difference is Isotemp uses a stainless steel water tank with stainless steel cover, and the Whale uses an aluminum one, with an option for aluminum, galvanized or stainless steel outside cover. To extend the life of an aluminum tanked water heater just ensure that no...

If you insist on new and have the budget for a nice camper, Dutch Campers have some pretty nice products, and I believe any layout can be had in a side entry door. They also do custom units if you do not find a suitable floor plan. Price List

For something that is strong yet is able to take torsional forces, the joint and connection design would have a much greater impact on the overall strength of the assembled unit. There are many industrial structural adhesives out there, the selection depends on your preferred characteristics and...

Using a Separett toilet did come into consideration, only $900 seemed quite high for a fancy poo bucket and funnel drain. Maybe it's just some personal bias against the Natures Head after some unpleasant experiences of cleaning those after some overflows and incorrectly used units in remote...

Thanks Jeep, you do bring up a good point, there is a lot of mass in the front and back, but the center is pretty light, doing some calcs would not hurt once the final design is confirmed. Just curious for those who own or have installed a cassette toilet in a wet shower, were there any issues...

That's coming along nicely, did you finish the board pockets before putting it all together, or are the insides just going to be raw, those seem to be pretty tough to get to.

Thanks , Challenger seems to have quite a variety of doors, will get in touch with them tomorrow. h I did get some quotes on the marine doors and they ran from $2100 to $5600, it was a little outside of what I am willing to spend on a door. That came up too, but it seems that there were some...

Went browsing around at an rvs today, it's sad what the rv industry deems acceptable or even the stuff some the salesmen are claiming excellence at. One observation is that out of the seven Hehr insulated window units I opened three glass units were already separating from the spacers. Is...

There is no push motion was already one of the ones that seemed to have a decent product, they are the ones that suggested the marine top hinge as they open as an awning style and have a strut arm supports. I am glad that you have positive feedback on the company as I have never ordered vehicle...

dlh62c: I have worked out of a truck cap similar to the following while in Canada, but it seemed really cramped, but that may be due to the workbench and materials shelving inside. They seemed to be built fairly well, and can be spotted all over the place up north, not as much in the states for...

Hello Everyone, I am back in the process of working a composite camper body that will reside either on a first or second generation Dodge 3/4 pickup truck. The goal is to have a smallish camper with regular accommodations for two people traveling down to Panama, and beyond. I have tried to...

Hello, I was wondering if any one has any opinions or experiences on a Grape Solar Fridge, the GS-UF-5-Fab1 in particular, but any input is welcome. It seems to be an economical AC/DC fridge for a camper replacement. Was looking to purchase a Nova Kool 8220, until this one came up and at less...
