    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    More work but I like the radius bend with the curve allot more than the mitre. Your friend did a nice job on those.

    Rocksea - EarthCruiser CORE Total Composites Build

    Moving the filter won't solve the problem. The system needs to be sanitized to control the bad stuff but sanitation if not done right away it may produce stuff that is worse than the bad stuff.

    Rocksea - EarthCruiser CORE Total Composites Build

    Pumps/lines/tank/filters will have fecal matter in them. Won't surprise me if this grows through the whole system. Hope you've a way to sanitize the system.

    RV CO and Propane Detector

    This is 100%. Think of propane gas as if it is water. The gas needs to fill the area for it to reach the sensor. I use 2 sensors one below the stove and another below the heaters. Both sensors are 1/2" above the floor. I've seen a few of the 10-30lb tanks leak so I'll never keep one of those...

    Barn Door for JK factory hardtops

    -1 amp on overcast day keeps the fridge running but what about the loss when there is no sun? ....FLA batteries take 6-8 hours to charge - Testing different type of panels (cells/diodes ) may tell you which ones are better in ambient light. - use more panels - make the mount so the panel can be...

    DIY Composite Camper T100 Expedition Vehicle Build

    Yeah spray foam is another thing I've done. Still have an old Gushmer FF-1000 sitting in the corner. 500% in relation to XPS you're comparing to. Also 500% difference in cell size from the edge to the center of your panels.....EPS or ISO foam would provide more consistent results. With the...

    DIY Composite Camper T100 Expedition Vehicle Build

    The foam (too hot) shouldn't have a 500% cell size which means the mfg. spec for R valu and dencity should be used for comparison.

    Carry a sidecar on a rack behind the truck? Yes it is possible.

    I'd be worried about getting rear ended and smashing the bike. Might check into max. extension past the bumper/axle plus tail light visibility.

    Hydronic floor tubing?

    Oxygen allows electrolysis to take place. If the system closed with a sealed expansion tank (located anywhere in the system) and all metal (steel/copper/stainless steel) piping then use O2 barrier PEX and add some corrosion inhibitor to the water. If the system is open, has rubber or silicone...

    Hydronic floor tubing?

    For an open system or a system that has rubber hose then oxygen barrier PEX is not needed. Water entering the floor should never be more than 140F. You'll need to account for the expansion/contraction when fitting the hatch. Uponor has a 5/16" PEX that is used in their Quick Track System...

    Hatches on both sides would allow access the storage (drying locker) under the seating from outside...especially long space across the back. It will be a long reach down into the space so it could be split into access to the top from inside and access to the bottom from outside. What is the...
