What do you think of the Scout Yoho? 1000lbs base. 1200lbs after adding a couple things like fridge, camp stove etc.

Small update. I got the interior paneling finished, installed a diesel heater and took it out for a test run. We spent 3 nights in it up at the ski area and it was pretty comfortable overall. It was set up it up with a futon, a cot and modular camping gear. Folding tables, Coleman stove...

Yep.

My main thought about covered storage is that a camper in almost new condition will last a lot longer and be a lot lower maintenance if stored under a cover or in doors. Sounds like OP is on the right track. Also great if you can plug it in when not in use and condition the interior with heat...

Do you have a covered area to park a camper when not using it? I think you can also rent slide in campers various places if you want a lower try before you buy commitment.

FRP corners sound cool. Will they be resin transfer molded?

You are asking in a round about way how to make your vehicle carry more weight. I imagine some of GVWR sticker is to comply with the vehicle classification system and is not the actual limit of its capacity. Spec out the springs to do what it is intended. If you are truly concerned about a...

I'll be testing the Joolca gotta go this winter. I like that it has a gate valve over the brown bucket. We'll see how it shakes out or hopefully doesn't. He He

I burned out on this project last Feb and stepped away from it. Kind of a rough ski season with all the rain. This summer/fall I built a 600 sqft art studio (gray building) for my wife and have been fixing up a rental house so didn't have time for the trailer project. Ready to get back to...

Do you guys mostly camp up at Mt. Cain for skiing? We are in Bellingham and have passes at Baker so we tend to stick around home but I'd like to check out Cain some time.

Finally! LOL. Looks great and very nice looking rig overall.

Please report back and let us know how it goes.

The taped aluminum skins over welded aluminum frame is an industry standard in trailer manufacturing. I think they are touting the tapes 30 year rated lifespan. Lifespan of bonds in the field will vary depending on design variables like joint load cycling, environmental conditions, exposure to...

Was at Lowes and they have a few similar systems. Toughbuilt, Klein and Craftsman. I might use one or two in my trailer build. I like my trail kitchens chuck box because it was designed to store a 2burner camp stove. It doesn't appear that any of these modular tool boxes would hold a standard...

Interior does look bigger than a 6' camper.

Have you have considered external tie downs and are you only interested in internal?

Regarding diesel heater cycling, it may vary depending on the manufacturer's controller and controller settings.

In my area a person washing dishes makes the same as a new hire QC inspector in a fab shop. The difference being that a QC inspector may have the opportunity to move up and will gain technical knowledge on the job. If they have the aptitude they could eventually go for a degree in engineering or...

Are you thinking of using packouts inside or outside of your vehicle or both? We have 3 sets of camping kitchen gear. Small medium and large in different storage configurations packed and ready to go depending on the mission. Backpack kits are in packs. We have an 8 gallon rubbermaid action...

Prices aren't going to come down. It will be a slow crawl for wages to come up.
