Oh once you get started I'm sure you'll pass me at the rate I'm going. :p Should have started this project a couple years ago prior to the first kid, I used to knock out quite a few hours on projects each week at ease... The breast cancer supporters might sue me for trademark infringement. :p...

Polyester resin will melt it, epoxy won't. Browse my thread if you want to look at some epoxy/fiberglass over XPS building.

Very nice but teasing as well since there is a bunch of fiberglass work to do before it's really a roof. :p It had crossed my mind but standing space is a premium in these sized rigs and I think the swing/open door in nice weather would get tiresome. Plus in foul weather the door opening to...

There is no "frame" in the camper, that's just a temporary structure to center and support the foam roof while it's being built since it's really not self supportive lying out flat like it does on the roof without the structural skins applied. Yes the 2x4's going across will sag in bit in that...

Mocked up all the upper half walls. Everything is just taped/clamped together for the most part right now so I can shuffle around the window placements that I'm currently stewing on. I put some hooks in the roof and my garage ceiling to use ratchet straps to lift the roof up to the extended...

Multiple ways and areas to address it. The top of the inside wall and bottom of the roof lips could both have a lip seal of sorts (like a brush seal, foam lip, rubber lip). I haven't scoured too hard for a brush seal yet. The foam side seals for a garage door, for the sides of the door not...

Oh okay if you're filling a big gouge you could either shoot some spray foam in or just rough out a piece of block foam and use an epoxy slurry to glue it in. Small gap just use some heavily thickened epoxy slurry. Once dried, for either, you'd trim/sand the excess and then feather in a...

I knew what you meant, I'm still confused on how it comes into play in making a smooth surface. Or where you talking for some other application?

Since you're not nearly as critical on the weight it appears I will caution that glassing the exterior is time consuming based on my experience... Might pan out easier to get commercially produced FRP panels and bond those on as the skin. Then if you wanted to glass up the corners to seal...

Oh I wanted FRP on the panels, I just don't need 1/8" of it. Something between 1/32-1/16 of polyester resin based stuff would probably be fine. My 3 ply epoxy skins are a little under 1/32" for instance. Well the metal seems to stick together all right, nothing a grinder can't take care of to...

Wires are run for 12V circuits (usually to a 12v fuse block, not sure if OH requested something different) but to take 120V and power 12V requires a converter. Which is an extra accessory not standard on an empty shell (hell it wasn't even standard on the complete campers 10yrs ago). If I was...

Don't worry, I'm an idiot and I'm still thinking about building my entry door. :p At the time I was looking folks were saying the rhinocore was being unresponsive to getting quotes out to the little guys, plus I didn't know if they'd do thinner skins (1/8" over the strong core is definite...

I had been considering the smittybuilt 12k or 15k on mine. Just a hair more costly than the other lower cost units but reviews on the quality sound okay, if nothing else they're owned by the same company as 4wheelparts so the parent company is a bit more well known and has a reputation to...

I don't recall, what height did you end up going with?

He's got a shell so no it wouldn't have that unless you added it I believe.

I'm sorta unclear what the question is. For starters take a picture of whatever FWC plug you're talking about, I don't know what they're currently using. Second question is why are you trying to get to a 12V socket plug with it? I assumed you wanted to power up the lights in your camper and...

Coming along, did you try weighting the floor with it suspended or did you not design it with that intent (obviously not regular use but just to duck into the camper while in storage)? I've been itching to get a welder to play around as well (been looking at the hobart 190 and 210) but I need...

Just pick up a small 12v deep cycle and call it good depending on your amp hour desires you can find something for between $15-50bucks.

Cool to see you at it again. The doors are looking good so far. I'm using a basic RV door on mine but that is to my propane hatch which will be sealed off from the rest of the camper so I'm not all that concerned about it not being super high quality. Refreshing my memory on this thread just...

A camera hadn't even crossed my mind, gonna give that one some serious consideration. Thanks, that's why I'm throwing these out there for input. :) The lower shell window will be down a little lower than desired and there will be a larger band of solid wall between the two windows right in the...
