    Expedition Camper Adhesive Advice?

    Acetone would damage the gelcoat finish. Denatured alcohol (USA) or methyl hydrate (canada) is best.

    Roof Racks/Branch Guard on Total Composite Box?

    Sorry for the delay in a response from us…. I just got back from putting our brush guards through a nice work out on Vancouver Island :-) We have seen several variations of brush guards from our customers over the years. All serve the purpose of protecting the the camper/solar system/roof hatch...

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

    Sorry can’t go too deep into details as this now with our Lawyers. But I can summarize what happened to avoid the wrong rumours from spreading. For the last two years, while working with us in a wholesale/trusted builder relationship OAT and DDG formed an alliance to secretly develop their own...

    Total Composites Slide In Camper Kits

    Not including the diesel heater is actually pretty smart if you like to keep the entry price point attractive. We actually found out that most truck camper owners rarely use heaters in the main travel session. They rather camp in nice weather. For the minority of users having the option of the...

    New kid on the block! AWD Transit with composite camper AEONrv

    I have the biggest tires that fit and a 2” lift. The shock mounts are lower, that’s true…. But on most roads the center part is always taller than where the tire tracks are. Meaning that the differential has always be my main concern. :-)

    New kid on the block! AWD Transit with composite camper AEONrv

    I own a regular 2wd transit with a similar set up. Other than in slippery conditions, the limiting factors have been the ground clearance of the rear differential. A transit is for sure not as capable as a F350 or Ram3500 when it comes to off road driving. But they are still very compfortable...

    Checking out a 1017a soon what should I look for

    Watch for air leaks and anything plastic/rubber related. There are a lot of valves and hoses for the brakes, 4x4 that could potentially leak. I don't think they came with high speed gears... Get ready for slow travel speeds! These engines are mechanically limited to around 90km/h. The only way...

    Bliss Mobil 8ft lifting roof debut at Abenteuer Allrad

    100% agree with you on the craftsman ship and engineering with Bliss, Unicat and AM. Also totally different price point and business model. We filled a void for people that can’t swing a half million price tag.

    How to mitigate truck box condensation

    A vent + a fan would help . Question remains: How is moisture getting in the first place? Without water, there is nothing to condensate.

    How to mitigate truck box condensation

    It’s a common issue rarely mentioned! Thank you for bringing it up. Not too long ago someone mentioned the exact same but with huge diesel fuel tanks on Expedition trucks. Not sure what the solution to your exact situation may be but I have decided to construct my under mount storage boxes on my...

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

    We have many TotalComposites camper owners that sold their mass produced “4 season” campers. Condensation that turns into mould, cold walls/floors, unusable water lines in cold temps are reasons for them to switch. Key features to ask when selecting a cold weather camper: - Thermal transfer...

    Help find Bliss Mobil dutch door

    I bet those doors are custom made in house by the builder. It's a common way for a lot of European Expo Truck builders. Sadly, the components needed to create these the same way are not available in North America.

    US carmakers in panic mode?

    I guess the competition from overseas is slowly making the European and US car makers nervous. Instead of learning new tricks they rather sending their lobbyists out to implement new import tariffs . These are paid by the endusers/consumers not by the Chinese. Btw, solar panels, batteries etc...

    CombiBoil water heater from Autoterm/Tigerexped

    Great question! Modifications like the one you mentioned would void all warranty. Question would also be: how would you prevent the 12V element from overheating/ regulate the heat value? With the 110 you have the peace of mind that the thermostat will keep the water from boiling and the element...
