    Sealants: butyl tape, dicor, sikaflex, etc. - plugging holes

    Great idea in the gaskets! Couple questions; on a door or window that is screwed on rather than clamped would the screw go through the gasket or beside it? I'd think the seal could be compromised driving a screw through it. Also, do you achieve even pressure screwing down the flange with the...

    Sealants: butyl tape, dicor, sikaflex, etc. - plugging holes

    Thanks for the replies everyone. - So it sounds like eternabond tape may be the best choice for under the stuff that has flanges. - 3m 4200, sikaflex 292, or Teroson ms939 for under lights, wire holes, power inlet and outlet. - 3m 5200, sikaflex 291 for the camper jack brackets. - Then a...

    Sealants: butyl tape, dicor, sikaflex, etc. - plugging holes

    I did a search but didn't find anything specific to comparing the different types. I am going to need a sealant for the installation of a roof vent as well as camper jack mounts, door install, electrical outlet and inlet, light mounts, wire holes, etc. Is there a general product people find...

    Idacamper2.0 Color change, please let me know your thoughts.

    Did you suffer any good rock hits to the front portions of your camper? What was the damage like? My camper is going to end up being a similar construction and finish so I'd like to know what I am in for.

    Canadians... What's it really like?

    That's the thing though. Nobody that owns these guns wants gun violence either. As soon as a tragedy like the one in Nova Scotia occurs it shines a huge spot light on firearms and the likely hood of more firearm regulation increases. That guy had no firearm license and obtained the firearms...

    Wanted: Help & Opinions needed - Shopping between truck camper and travel trailer

    Being able to fit in an 8' garage will limit you to a pop up in either trailer or truck camper form. I had a 17' winnebago (21') hitch to bumper and behind a 20' truck we were over 40' long. It made unknown forestry road travel nerve wracking. It also seemed that every time we took it down a...

    Canadians... What's it really like?

    I'd like to know what were the demographics used for that poll. I could conduct a similar 'survey' concluding opposite results. Like the Global News Ipsos survey done showing 52% of Canadians think all guns should be illegal. https://globalnews.ca/news/6893821/firearms-ban-ipsos-poll-canada/...

    Canadians... What's it really like?

    It's unreal that this ban was pushed through without a parliamentary process during a pandemic. This will do nothing to reduce gun violence in Canada. Many unbanned and non-restricted firearms have the same magazine capacity as these now prohibited guns, semi-automatic actions, and in many...

    Highway robbery with half tons

    First two vehicles I bought used. One was through a dealership and the other privately. Last 3 have all been new. I was brought up being told to never buy new, but the used market seems way overvalued comparitively. Sure you can find good deals occasionally, especially if your not picky...

    Highway robbery with half tons

    Not just a Ford thing, or a 2020 thing. This is the window sticker for my 2014 Ram SLT which is equivalent to the XLT.

    Idacamper2.0 Color change, please let me know your thoughts.

    My vote is for the light grey too, medium Grey a close second. Can I ask why monstaliner? When I was considering coating my whole camper in a bed liner material my internet 'research' led me to believe raptor liner was better. (Can't remember why now since it was a couple years ago I was...

    Another DIY truck camper

    Well, after 2 coats of primer and a ton of sanding, the first of three layers of paint went on today. Almost done building out the pop up as well. And I ordered the dibond material to finish off the interior walls. Pretty happy with the grey color sitting in the garage. Once some snow melts...

    Will a 275/65/18 size tire fit on a Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2?

    We're running 255/70-r18 on my wife's 2018 Grand Cherokee. They are take-off tires and wheels from a Jeep Wrangler Sahara. Looking at the tire size calculator they are pretty much the same diameter as the 275/65-18 you want, but .8 of an inch narrower. Her Jeep does not have the air...

    Storage box options

    I have no experience with any of the boxes mentioned so far, but I use Milwaukee packout boxes for work. They are pretty tough and have a 'waterproof' gasket. Lots of sizes available, they are stackable, and they even make a base plate for them to mount to. A strapless way to secure boxes...

    Another DIY truck camper

    Thanks man! If I were to start again I'd be tempted to splurge and get the honeycomb panels already completed. My issues with that route was concerns about mounting things to the honeycomb panels and space. Wood is available at my local stores and I can just buy sheets as I need them instead...

    Hauling A Motorcycle With A Truck Camper

    I'd be worried about the rack or the bike blocking the taillights. The one above with the BMW looks like the lights would be hard to see. Might remedy this by mounting lights on the bike rack and having a plug to the vehicles trailer light plugin.

    Charging questions

    Awesome, eliminating a transfer switch and leaving both chargers on is the best case scenario. So no worries on the charger matching the input source? If I leave the charger at the max 65 amp charge rate at 14.5ish volts, that's 942.5 watts being drawn from the charge source. A standard...

    Charging questions

    This may be a question for Renogy, but I figure I'll throw it out here and see if anyone has some insight. I have a Renogy 2000w inverter/ charger for my camper project. It has a charge output between 5-65 amps programmable in 5 amp increments. I am also planning to purchase renogys DC/DC...

    Another DIY truck camper

    Also been working on installing backer board in all the cabinets and building out the pop top. Ordered the paint for the top as well. Used epoxy primekote by interlux for the primer and will be going with interlux brightside in a Kingston grey for the paint. Bottom half of the camper will be...
