I can certainly get you a piece of FRP skin. Feel free to send me an email with the dimensions and shipping address. Cheers

We use a magnetic screen off amazon. Works amazing and way better than a sliding screen.

Your feedback is very very valuable! At no point did I see this as criticism or bashing :-) You guys live full time in your truck and use the products every single day. It's not surprising that you will find more things to improve/maintain than others that just go out for the weekend. I'm...

Windows and doors always come with a trade off. It's either thermal efficiency, quality, weight or price. Although the Arctic Tern are not perfect, I still think they offer a great value. All Glass windows require a "stepped cut" that requires a certain skill and tools. Therefore they are not...

You are brave with that dark vinyl wrap! This will increase the surface temperature by a great margin and blisters ( delamination) is pretty much a given.

That's true. Lithium doesn't charge much in freezing temperatures. Question is: How cold was it in the camper? Did you have the heat going?

I have worked at a semi trailer factory in Germany where we wet lay the FRP/Foam panels. What a mess! The factory did it because of cost and speed. With heated moulds (up to 40' long) we could make several panels per 8 hour shift. If you vacuum bag it needs to sit for pretty much a full day...

dont forget to apply primer before bonding metal with adhesive… correct, there are only 90 degree pultrusions to be found. We got 45 ones made to match our system. Again… expensive…

Very cool set up!

Agreed. Tons of different ways to join panels. our system is designed for simplicity and speed in a production setting . I have build many cabins with solutions shown below and they are very time intense. But at the end ,if time doesn’t matter to you , they all offer great strength.

custom? It’s very expensive… you need to engineer it, make dies and then run a minimum length in production ( usually a full container load). We have several custom frp pultrusions in our name and I can tell you it’s not cheap. Think about a $30,000 price tag per design. There is also a lot that...

the core program is in full swing. Several chassis with our camper bodies are in the making.

I fully agree with the forces on an awning. We had our ARB out in heavy storms and it survived. We have a bigger 180 awning on our trailer and it will not stay out in wind. Btw, we have tested (without destruction) our mounting brackets to 150kg/300lb load without any sign of weakness.

Not sure how strong your corners/panels are but this is what we do.

No problem: https://expeditionupfitter.com/collections/diesel-heater/products/portable-12v-diesel-heater-high-altitude

For diesel heaters: https://expeditionupfitter.com/collections/diesel-heater/products/planar-diesel-air-heater-high-altitude Very very reliable. Super easy to install/maintain by yourself without voiding the warranty.

With your vin number any Mercedes dealer should be able to pull up your vehicle and order parts directly from Germany. I would say lots of parts like the belts and filters are shared with other Mercedes models and are most likely in stock. Years ago I imported a 4x4 Sprinter cab chassis from...

Oh yes! The beauty of this system is that it could be mounted anywhere. Even outside.

Privacy / wet room curtain installed. I love this simple set up. https://expeditionupfitter.com/collections/camper-hardware/products/van-life-collapsible-shower-solution

Happy holidays! at this point there is nothin in the making for the maverick. Dont think that’s the right truck to put a camper on. The bed is shorter than on the ranger. This means a camper that shorter than 5’…. Payload is also way too low to consider a 500lb camper. cheers
