    Three Step Aluminum Hitch Receiver Steps **SOLD**

    Looks to be 2" square tube. With a picture of the bottom it wouldn't be hard to duplicate.

    Preventing corrosion when mounting camper to aluminum flatbed with bolts

    These are medium grade so you could upsize and use stainless. Add a layer of UHMW tape to the washers https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/tools/supplies/adhesives/tape/32182-slippery-low-friction-tape?item=25U0401 Make sure to use some Tef-Gel and you'll be good + be able to take it apart.

    2022 RAM 5500 Composite "Super Camper"

    It's dielectric but doesn't contain water like grease and 100% stops non ferrous from galling...like stainless steel nylocs do. Will you used a tank gauge? Hinging one side of the electrical panel makes it install/service easier,

    2022 RAM 5500 Composite "Super Camper"

    Fantastic workmanship! Love the wiring. No voltage drop in those wires:) If gravity is the only way to fill the second tank you may want to use 2" between the tanks. Vents have to drain outside or back to tank. ANY sag in the hose will trap water and prevent the tanks (especially the 2nd...

    Propane Question: Stove won’t work when Furnace is on?

    The furnace mfg. will have a spec sheet/install manual detailing the amount of venting the furnace needs. It will be bigger than a couple 1 1/2 holes. On the flip side of I've seen air ducts that blow warm air into the return air. The furnaces are only 60% efficient. They don't need to be...

    Subaru Outback Wilderness

    The step down from a F350 was too much for us. We have a Tacoma on order. I'd take the F350 (with 4-6 MTB bikes) up a FSR then later thinking I'd save some fuel I'd try the the same thing with the OB. If I could make to the top there was a smell of hot oil so it needed a transmission cooler. It...

    Subaru Outback Wilderness

    With the 2020 Onxy we had -adding cargo (CC is only 800lbs) or bike rack (behind the axle) with the soft suspenion didn't work on road or off. -10% of approach/departures was ripping the bottom of the car apart. Armouring the bottom would reduce the CC even more.

    Kill switches

    Our Subaru was connected online. We tried to shut it down but it wouldn't let us do it because the thief copied the key fob. If the keys are in the vehicle it overrides commands from the online system.

    Using screws to hold plywood/foam construction together while gluing?

    The purpose of air sealing is to limit the amount of water vapor entering the wall so it doesn't do any damage. It doesn't matter if the outside wall is plywood, glass, FRP or aluminum water vapor will condense on the first cool surface.

    Using screws to hold plywood/foam construction together while gluing?

    Air sealing (not allowing water vapor into the wall) is far more importand than allowing it to (evaporate) escape.

    Using screws to hold plywood/foam construction together while gluing?

    Aluminum needs a continuous bond or it will warp/buckle. Edit: unless it was 1/8" or 5/32" and you planned out the welding so it was near corners/bends.....then you'd forget the outside plywood and spray foam the inside then you'd have an air sealed wall

    Pb vs. LiFePO voltage sag

    All batteries have a C (charge / discharge) rate. It's higher for Lithium. There's lots to read online. Lithium needs to be heated but only if being to charge below +/-32F Current Connected has both assembled batteries and cell. https://www.currentconnected.com/product-category/btry/

    Total Composites Slide In Camper Kits

    Stiffness is what is needed for compression. I think the light depends on state law and if it is over/under 80". I put one on the back of my trailer because I didn't want the hassle again.

    Total Composites Slide In Camper Kits

    Use enough CF to support 105% of the load so neither the CF or FRP fails. The added material will be in tension at the top and compreesson at the bottom. Both alum and CF are (as you said 3-5X better) for compression.

    Ford F350 Shock Upgrade Recommendations

    1 ton trucks are so over sprung adjustable shocks don't make much of a difference.
