    This ⬆️ Here’s how I fit mine. It also helps to trim the ends and top corners of the wood lip. Sorry, it’s the best picture I have on hand.

    Amazing rig! I would literally buy it today if I wasnt 6’3” with a bad back and could stand up straight in it 🤨🙁. GLWS!

    ITTOG's Truck Camper Build (was 6' x 12' Trailer Conversion)

    Internal fiberglass looks like a good solution for you. Yeah, linseed oil isnt gonna be your friend! Try wiping with mineral spiriits to clean it. A great, simple natural color finish is wipe on poly. It basically polyurethane cut with 50% mineral spirits that you apply with a rag. It...

    Pendleton Yakima Camp blankets

    I have a queen sized classic striped Pendelton that my parents had before I was born, so it’s at least 73 years old and still in great shape, and it wasn’t just stored away. It’s been used every winter. Pretty sure it will last longer than me!

    Cast iron question

    Thanks! I do that out of years of habit and trial and error anyway. Definitely works until I get too much heat. Can’t seem to make eggs work that way though. ☹️

    Tundra dual battery setup

    I have what your are describing in my Tundra. National Luna DCDC 25 power pack with 100 ah Battle Born LiFePo battery. It’s been great and easily removable. Have it charged from the alternator not solar. Bought it from Equipt1, who were great. The KickAss battery box is cheaper and has some...

    Curious — what is the actual sleeping length of the bed? it appears to be E/W with no ability to extend N/S, right?

    ITTOG's Truck Camper Build (was 6' x 12' Trailer Conversion)

    That might work for you, especially with an epoxy fillet on the inside. Quarter inch is really tough to work with for structures without an external or internal frame! Another thing to consider, if you don’t mind the aesthetics is 1/2”x1/2” 1/16th aluminum angle as an outside brace or an inside...

    Map Tool With Distance Slider

    Well Gaia’s route feature can do a clunky version of that. Its’s not as easy as just hovering, but you can get a relatively quick distance. For highway travel, the National Map seems to show the best main roads.

    ITTOG's Truck Camper Build (was 6' x 12' Trailer Conversion)

    I do a lot of woodworking and really nothing will let you glue up strong 90° butt joints like it looks like you’re trying to do. Titebond woodworker’s glue is strong enough when used in the right joints not to fail before the wood does, but 1/4” just doesn't have enough surface area in your type...

    EarthCruiser is closing!?!?!

    Update on the new Mini FJ…coming to the USA soon?

    Agreed, but then again nearly every new design out of Toyota lately is butt ugly IMO …

    I posted this on the Ovrlnd Camper thread, maybe of interest here.

    More Dust and Smoke Control Mods: The passive Positive Pressure Vent has worked pretty well for me, but over time, I have had a slight accumulation of dust come past the bed rail, under the plastic bedrail cap despite obsessively plugging the bedrail holes in the Tundra pre-camper install. Not...

    New 520 Watt Solar Panel from Lonepeak.

    I’m no expert, but from researching panels over the years a few things jump out to me that you might want to research in addition to the other issues raised by others here: — They don’t say the brand of cells, or the manufacturer of the panels — Sunpower are often very well regarded, but there...

    Jay used to offer the lower halves for the barn doors, but I dont see it on his options list anymore. Did he stop offering those? Regardless, I’d be surprised if he wouldn’t make. set for you, if you wanted.
