A Canadian company manufacturing panels and fiberglass pultrusions. https://boxxedcp.com/ Camper bodies. No mention of pricing or kits. https://boxxedcp.com/boxxes/ Alloy posted a link in November. Looks like one to keep an eye on / investigate.

Hi, I am in the Ham. Water runs off of the roof and then right into the gap above the doors. The way the seals are designed it just funnels water straight in the unit. I put a stick on rubber J channel above the rear doors that slopes down on the ends and channels water away from the tops of...

A bit of van design build that often gets overlooked is how it will do in a nasty collision. Most DIY's look like death traps as far as heavy objects not being secured very well. A lot of work vans utilize a steel wall partition between the front passenger area and the rear. Welded steel...

There's a difference between 1 ton 350's and the larger trucks when it comes to service. For the most part, anything larger than a 1 ton 350, you have to go to commercial tire shops and commercial truck mechanic shops. I found this out with my F450. Tire shops have to have a special...

Good on the sinks too. They are cheap and worth an experiment. Stop your drain and run your sink for 20 seconds. Swap the aerator and see how much difference it makes in volume.

Do you have low flow aerators on all your faucets?

For the build your talking about with an RV's worth of stuff, it seems a dually is the best option since your not off-roading. When I build mine, it will be way more stripped down so I can stay single rear wheel. I like the idea of a shell with camping gear in it. Same idea as my spacekap but...

did you add shipping into your costs? Also doesn't look like you accounted for cabinetry and fasteners.

If I were 5'8, Id definitely do the bed east west and you shouldn't need flare sides if you utilize the cabinet space at one end for your feet instead of housing for electronics. You could go with a smaller sink and use a collapsible dish pan if your really getting after some dishes. Showers are...

Did you have a red bull for breakfast? This is an overlanding thread. LOL 🤣 Modern side by sides have insane out of the box capability and are really fun. It takes a lot of time and money to squeeze that much performance out of a jeep. The draw back for SXS's for me is I don't like the noise...

There is something to be said for running all the local trails with a mild build to see how far you can get and then add mods as you find limitations. So many ways to skin that cat. Going big out of the gate and walking through all the obstacles is fine too.

I'd go with the northern lite. Some of them had a winter package with double pane windows so if you don't go for that one, you might be able to find one that does. I like the propane furnace over a diesel for most heating applications. If you're going to be in a really cold place then adding...

I'm not sure what an 8 rated trail is. What your describing sounds like an awesome build. A couple thoughts. I spent a lot of time wheeling and it's more fun in something that you're not going to be bummed if it gets messed up. It's also more fun when your rig is closely matched with whomever...

Have you seen these over in the van forum?

This is a tangent but I might consider scaling back and putting a small slide in camper on the Ford or pulling a trailer to take the fam to fire road turnouts, family camp spots etc. Pulling a trailer would still allow for the dogs to continue riding in the back of the truck. Sounds like your...

What were your thoughts regarding building out a subframe and box vs starting with a cube van?

What are the comfort needs vs wants?

That's interesting that you are pulsing them rather than running continuous. How did you come up with that idea?
