I've actually read that entire monolithic thread in your first link (look at the last few posts, I posted some clarification questions for my application and I'm chatting on the side with the manufacturer and the moment). Well epoxy over foam isn't really hard but in large surface areas it can...

That is something I've been researching heavily lately and I'm giving it a very high consideration. Will be a more costly (in terms of product) paint job but will save me a crap ton of work in fairing verse trying to get things smooth to make a couple mil thick paint look good. Also the...

So traditional trailer campers with multiple water users have a pump with a pressure switch on it, and usually an accumulator, that when turned on pump till a pressure is reached and then turn off and wait till the pressure drops to turn back on. Presumably this would be due to someone opening...

I was looking back in my thread for something and realized I never saw this post. Just looked at the stuff, main issue I have with that is very little flexibility. I think in a camper structure it would crack. Now polyurea can have flexibility up to 400% though. Most of the time its shot out...

Outlet size doesn't matter in the equation of maximum pressure you could generate (it would reduce the pressure fighting back through which would just mean less applied pressure required). .5"dia is .19635sq in so with 10lb of pressure you could generated ~51psi.

Pretty sure they hardware stores have foam sheeting in 1/2". If not an alternative is use 1.5" or 2" foam in the spaces between the framing and then rip strips off a 1" thick foam board on the table saw to fill in the .5" or 1" respectively over the framing. Main issue you'd run into is you'd...

Two years ago I started building mine... I'm not done yet. You're ahead of the game. :p

I think thickened or lightly thickened epoxy would flow through a small tube just fine. The nozzle on my dispensing pumps only has a 1/8" hole or so.

West system for instance makes fillable caulk tubes and syringes. If the area is big maybe use the caulk tube but it would take a larger hole. They syringes would be a smaller hole but more times refilling if a large area and probably more of them...

What kind of lift, straight up? Sloped roof only lifted on one end? Soft sides? There are mechanical/hinged type mechanisms, gas struts, electric/hydraulic actuators, etc. what are you going for?

For the interior delamination/sag have you also considered drilling some holes and injecting thickened epoxy up between the core and skin and prop it back in place with it cures? In concert with the cool rack on top your roof would be back in tip to shape.

Its definitely strong but also keep in mind he's hitting that with a larger surface area hammer front on a panel that can flex a bit too. You just gotta factor that all in while deciding what level of performance you personally want and what material combinations to put together. In post 22 of...

Yeah I'd likely have to do a lot of long boarding to get it mirror smooth, and that isn't even a look I'm going for its just glossy paint (which is also durable) slaps you in the face if you don't. If there is one thing I'm short on these days its time... I was planning on light grey for the...

I'm curious what thoughts folks have on a muted orange peel surface finish? I'm contemplating coatings again and giving thought to a liner type material. The surface roughness can be muted down but there will definitely still be some. Cons off hand are a more work surface appearance and more...

How many amps does the plat cat pull? I'm planning to use the atwood 8012 in mine which is about half the other units at 1.8amps supposedly.

Just wandered through your thread, didn't read all the solar discussion in depth but I just wanted to note that I think you're thinking panels cost more than they do these days. Can get 100+watt panels for about $1.45 a watt right now. That said if you have a geny there isn't a huge motivation...

Neither specifically say whether they are exterior rated or not you mean. If they hold to boiling the glue used is exterior rated. (By the way if you have a pressure cooker that helps to really weed out lesser glues running it at 15psi).

Sure, I'm up in Gunbarrel, drop me a line if you're around.

I forgot about the warmer ground water temps here... I need to focus on my dang camper shell for the moment, I'll live on booze and Avery in the meantime. :p

You had a good thread yourself with the tear drop. Its nice to gleen ideas from a wide variety of builds and in the end you make what you want. Too much invested to not eventually get this one over the finish line! So nothing like a bonehead move to line up some more repair work for...
