    Expo Vehicle MPG

    I get asked about the fuel economy with our Ford Transit camper and the GMC Top Kick quite often. The transit looks big but actually has a lower fuel consumption than a 2023 F150 we owned for 1 year. At 16L/100km I think the transit is pretty sweet. The GMC being a much heavier vehicle is...

    Ford Transit Cab Chassis with Composite Camper

    Thank you for your kind words. our Panels and pultrusions are paintable. We recommend keeping them in a light colour to avoid excessive surface temperatures that could compromise the bond between the fiberglass skin and foam core. a toy hauler function is certainly possible but requires some...

    Hierarchy of hard sided campers that handle the snow/winter?

    not sure if any other manufacturer has done that… we went through a thermal audit conducted by a government certified building inspector. He didn’t only look for cold bridges he also tested everything for air tightness. We had a portable diesel heater blasting the interior of our truck camper...

    Total composite style campers and heater choices?

    The type of Kerosene you can buy at Home Depot etc. I see it as Gas Station diesel fuel but purified without all the oils and other additives usually found in regular diesel. It burns cleaner, I also found I'm getting more BTU out of it. NOT TO BE MISTAKEN WITH JET FUEL!!!!!! (for our...

    Total composite style campers and heater choices?

    Hands down diesel/kerosene heaters! Considering the small interior space and thermal efficiency I would highly recommend to only use the smallest version of diesel heaters.
