Actually Bajarat turned me onto a couple nice Man 4x4 and 6x6 trucks that I can legally import into Canada. Any takers for my current fleet???

Overall height is 10' 7" and we are just running up all the systems next week.

Camper comes in at 950 kg or 2094 lbs. with the jacks off, they weigh about 200 lbs. so they can stay off when not in use. Everything to complete the build was inside at the time with the exception of a few aluminum pieces yet to be made but adding another 100 lbs. would be a high estimate...

I've been accused of that a few times! I like my work spaces clean and organized.

Very good Ward, This is #4 for me and it's the closest so far but everything has a comfortable amount of clearance.

The EZ Trac or Poclain (one of the original designers) AWD system is brilliant and works exceptionally well as both front wheels have drive motors, like a locker but they are independent of each other so steering is largely unaffected. You don't really need the front drive axle after you get...

Rolled it over by the door and put the jacks on. Bolted the jacks on, the Hella connector are pretty sweet, and water tight. Stood back, lowered each jack until they hit the ground, and hit the "raise all" button and lifted it up 4' in the air in a couple minutes. The electric jacks are...

Got some more doors on, starting to look good. My wife was in it and said "you should have done them in black" . Anybody ever see the way Homer Simpson strangles Bart? Went through my mind! Got the Espar configured on a switch, you can run it on the timer super easy which will get you hot...

Got a lot done, all DC wiring is in, AC wiring will be performed by a certified electrician. I'm a licensed mechanic by trade and that covers the DC aspect professionally. I was thinking of rewiring the Blue Sea panels, they are acceptable, not really outstanding. The big box is the control for...

Thanks guys, I didn't know that was out there. There is a TV series being pitched, if it goes through, well it's going to be one hell of an adventure! That's all I can say bout that right now!

I built a fleet of armored trucks a long time ago (working with as a contractor to an armored car company due to location), that was back when EVERYTHING was 2" thick! The storm truck has a film to keep the glass together upon impact, it takes a beating, I watched the testing. If a rock or...

Our storm chasers truck made Ford Canada's new F-150 commercial, it's pretty cool to just be watching TV....and a commercial comes on.....and you go "hey!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5ER4H4XmEk

On the subject of light weight, ditch the heavy panels, Go Power Flex series 100 watt panels are light, I don't know if they even weigh 2 pounds. I'd pay a weight penalty for a couple good batteries over a generator, and it works great for us but that is a personal preference too. For some...

I'll just have to use those outgassing, inferior, condensing, weak, expensive, clinical composites instead of aluminum :) Your camper looks great, I love the lines.

R value is supposed to be approx., 5. I'm going to drop a date logger in, throw it outside, and monitor the fuel consumption. I'm doing that because there are A LOT of r value claims, from pretty much every source and I can't find any data to prove its worth in the application. I like real data...

My shell comes in a 782 lbs. on Solidworks. It is 8.5' floor, 10' front wall to rear wall, 80" inside height, full queen in the overhead with a little extra room. That weight is without doors and windows, and nothing inside. I am shooting for a sub 2000 pound weight but will likely be a little...

Nice Airstream, always loved their products, it's one of the few RV's out there that you can actually restore! THAT says a lot.

Got some more of the wood in, starting to take shape. Wiring is going in, everything is roughed in, just have to terminate and finish tying up. Ceiling light turned out really nice, perfect light, perfect shade.

100% A premium camper at half the weight is worth as much, if not more. My Bigfoot was on a F-450, it's not really an ideal truck to daily drive compared to a single wheel 3/4 ton, but that's what it took to haul everything properly.

I wish we had something closer here, and I'm not even sure there is anything like that in the Vancouver area, Andreas could chime in here, as I have no issue shipping things within reason. The one shop that had the capability and the interest quickly shifted with the USD/CAD difference and...
