    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    Gotcha. I saw a video where a guy "tested" his by just mounting it in his bathroom and running the vent/fan hose up to his bathroom ceiling fan lol. Said it was good to test it out first. Fwiw the unit needs to twist a touch to remove the head etc. I'd be interested in how you mounted it so...

    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    How has the Airhead worked out? I noticed the chute-flap doesn't fully retract for #2. Do you have to place a "coffee filter" down on there before dropping a deuce? Just wondering what the nuances are. I've got one I'm ordering for our little pickup camper (Scout Kenai). Just want to go in...

    Best toilet for weekend adventures with the family?

    Awesome, and thank for the help...I'm totally new to these. 1- Is it super nasty to empty like the Cassette toilets can be sometimes after just a long weekend? Or is it not so bad? I'm a Dad/cattle-ranch kid...so i've been waist deep in some yuck, but wondering if its more like gross dirt...

    Best toilet for weekend adventures with the family?

    Hey man, I'm looking at grabbing an Airhead composting toilet for the 4 of us (wife and 2 boys) in our Scout pickup camper. How do you use one of these composting toilets for just weekends etc? It seems like most people are using them for longer periods of time, which we will do 2-3wk trips...

    Scout Olympic vs Kenai

    These Airhead composting toilets just might be the ticket. Anyone have experiences with these? https://airheadtoilet.com/the-air-head/composting-toilet-functionality/ I ended up speaking with Elliot at Airhead about their composting toilet. It sounds great actually. You get about 60-80...

    Scout Olympic vs Kenai

    Hey I haven't thought about Toilets at all as I was going to just get the built in Cassette toilet. That being said, I don't have any experience with them as far as owning one. Apparently if you use the right chemicals that Thetford one is commonly used, especially all across Europe. BUT...

    Scout Olympic vs Kenai

    Hey, yeah the stove. Well I updated my order to include the Dometic after talking to partner to see if they could support low pressure propane on a quick-connect. They said no. Running a high pressure line that far isn't great from what I can tell. Also there is the external quick connect...

    Scout Olympic vs Kenai

    Another FYI, I've been trying to workout the best electrical setup for plugging in the fridge. The Dometic CFX3 that is optional uses the cigarette lighter port. I'm grabbing a National Luna 72L which has its own hela plug iirc that doesnt exist on the GoalZero. The cigarette plugs/contacts...

    Scout Camper

    I assume this is base plate that would mount outside of the camper on the wall right? It would be glued into place and then I would bolt/screw the L-track through the wall and into that base plate? Or are you saying I just glue the base plate to the wall and then bolt the L-Track directly to...

    Scout Camper

    Perhaps the key is to trust the BC people for campers. :) Question about composite mods: 1- can you attach L-Track strips to composite walls? My sister has a sprinter and those brackets are so versatile and functional. So many accessories. How is it done? 2- What's the general process for...

    Scout Olympic vs Kenai

    Some updated info from Scout (posted from the popup camper thread). Some construction questions came up and I pinged Scout about them. 1- They have a Kenai already built, its going out for testing soon to the CEO & Ryan. The CEO gets way up into Northern Canada etc and puts the units through...

    Some of the stuff EightySix brought up was interesting so I pinged Scout about it. Here is info that came back (within an hour...which is cool, including screenshots). 1- They have a Kenai already built, its going out for testing soon to the CEO & Ryan. The CEO gets way up into Northern...

    Scout Camper

    Thanks EightySix! I didn't notice any voids in the few models I've been in (a few Olympics and one Yoho), but I wasn't really looking for it (or thought to). The cabinets did look beautiful tho, my wife loved the looks...and that's hard to do lol. Def CNC'd, of the Marine type I think, which...

    Scout Camper

    EightySix, it's cool that you got into the guts a bit. I'm wondering about how many of those are significant issues or not. While I know a fair amount about the Scouts and have been in a few, I'm not an expert. I'm positive I have some post-purchase-justification as we have a Kenai on order...

    The 1000 is discontinued I think. It didn't have a regulator in it either. The 1500x is what the Scouts are coming with now i think and are seemingly better.

    Scout Olympic vs Kenai

    Yeah I think the Olympic's issues are around the dinette location. Its a bit weird to get to the bed and its tough to fit people into it. Also there isn't a general place to just sit and put your shoes/boots/ski boots on either. By contrast, even the Yoho's dinette area was fairly functional...

    Scout Camper

    ?? There are a handful of walkthroughs of Scout campers on YouTube and Instagram now. Pretty easy and they are real customers using them. Go ping them with questions. Some dealers have them, tho they sell out well before getting to the lot so it's tough to find them at times. It's not like...

    Scout Olympic vs Kenai

    Nice video run downs there. 1- Stove: I've been wanting to use a Partner Steel stove instead of their stock Dometic one. I'm beginning to think that isn't an option since I think the camper runs on low pressure propane rather than the high pressure that the Partner Steel stove needs. Partner...

    Scout Olympic vs Kenai

    What are the deets? I have to go through Apache, who has been decent for the moment...but I have no experience with them. Fwiw I did talk to their owner Kevin for a long time, that guy was awesome. (he also loves his Olympic a lot). The service stuff is interesting to me as I was thinking of...

    Yeah not a single Kenai has been produced yet. Only their 3D renders. Not even a prototype yet.
