    Flatbed and composite panel build on Dodge 2500

    Thanks guys. Panel R value is approx. R5 for the 1.5" HC core. We stayed in the unit for a few nights, the last 2 nights were 6C (42F) and the thermostat was set to 19C (67F) and we used just over a liter of diesel to keep it that temp, so at $.94 per liter it cost about $.55 per night to stay...

    Thanks gmact, I really wanted to take the scenic ride home and stop by for a visit, I love that part of the country but we had to get back quickly as we have a a few large jobs that need some extra special attention before delivery. Thanks for the business, and thanks for your comments.

    What about a "DIY' Overland Vehiclel building round-table/workshop ?

    Just a quick suggestion, download NFPA 1192 which is the bible for manufacturing standards for RV. We have to use RV standards as there are no other that apply, and insurance companies recognize compliance with 1192. It gives specs for a lot of stuff like distances for exhausts from windows...

    I see the Oasis needs a 1/4" fuel line ID, Espar and Walas use 1.5, 2, and 2.5 mm so they are much smaller. .250 is almost 6.5mm, I will look around and see what I have for a 1/4" pick up.

    Sorry I never checked back here for a bit but if you need I have a ton of Espar and Wallas pick up tubes, let me know if you need and I'll pop one on the Poro truck, no charge. Fits any tank.

    I expected magic, but still had to do a couple mods to get the Lagun to function the way I wanted too. 5 minutes on the mill and we found the solution. Now the leg swings far enough over to do this Table is a chunk of butcher block....keeping with the light weight theme here....not really...

    Table goes in tonite. I'm up to 4 telescopic marine style bases and a Lagun mount. I think the Lagun wins... Thanks for the comment Adam, we do get sucked into the browns pretty bad here.

    I have no talent One of the most ingenious designers and builders ever, Rick Dobbertin. I watched this thing develop in the magazines when I was a kid, I think it's what hooked me. Regardless of how well this thing worked or didn't work is almost irrellevent, it's an amazing creation and...

    ********...that's funny I was thinking the Tommy B was going to blend in too much, so I gave the color catalog to the girls who work for me, my wife, a couple esteemed colleagues, and almost everybody gravitated to the red, there were a few reds to choose from but this was the winner. Face it guys...

    Ward, what if you just ran the pick up for the Oasis into the aux tank? It's also much closer to the heater which is generally a good thing.
