    ACELA 6X6 WITH SLRV EXPEDITION BOX NEW BUILD

    I don't trust caulking to make a durable seal. If it was mine I'd seal the foam around the openings.

    ACELA 6X6 WITH SLRV EXPEDITION BOX NEW BUILD

    Was looking at the pictures on a PC today and noticed the flange on the window cutouts. Will the cutout be sealed at the bottom to prevent moisture (condensation) from entering the panels? Nice to see the mechanical/electrical is being done to a plan vs running wires piecs meal. Hope they get...

    ACELA 6X6 WITH SLRV EXPEDITION BOX NEW BUILD

    Wonder if they considerd running down the line backwards. I've always been impressed with the soundproofing on the Fisher-Panda generators. They may only make diesel for marine applications though. What about a diesel vs electric bike?

    New Camper Build - THE OVERL[h]ANDER

    Aluminum is an excellent material but one of its failing is electrolysis. Make sure you have a system to clean 100% (weep holes plug up easily) of the road mud/debris out of the boxed frame or it will be destroyed (even 5086-5083 grades) from the inside out in 4-8 years.... I've seen it happen...

    Make sure to have railings on the stairs. Actually seen more accidents on stairs than (secured) ladders. My guess is people pay more attention getting on a ladder. The inner door will be a water bucket. A roof extension might help. As to the shear walls the connection from the wall sill...

    Solar panel?

    I put together a set up for a buddy of mine a couple of weeks ago for a single solar panel and a 50' power cord. He was parked in the trees and ended up trying the panel in 3-4 places. It ended up on the roof of the trailer tilted but turned 45 degrees to the trailer. He needed to get some help...

    Won't matter if you double the strentgh of the axle beam the bearings and brakes will fail first. When I place any kind of fuel on the back of a vehile I think of what could happen if I'm rear ended.
