It's a piece of cake! Everybody should build one. I was looking at some of your work, thought the same thing, nice stuff.

Got the heater, fuel, and water service box installed. Pic of the 2" cam lock drain installed in it's respective location.

Panels run anywhere from $15.00 to $60.00+ per square foot and up, depending on what is in and on them.With the right joining methods they are rather easy to build with, without and they can be a lot of work.

Nice job Shane.

Grey water dump valve is a Banjo 2" stubby camlock. The covers will be set up with a lay flat hose for dumping quick or a 3/4" garden hose. The camlock design is excellent for sealing and integrity, as well the valve is fully rebuildable which I never anticipate having to do, plus the camlock...

Built the externally vented/internally sealed locker for the Espar, fuel tank, and water valves. Perimeter frame is an extrusion with a glue channel and sealing flange, works with a lot of different door designs. Hole was easily cut with the track saw. Powder coating it white today and hopefully...

I always liked the stuff you come up with Shane, pretty darn good design and execution for a home builder. Camper is 8.5' at the base and 10' front wall to back wall, rear taper is completely consumed very usefully in the design. you could probably do something in the 7-7.5' range and a 8.5-9'...

We use Nova Kool fridges Ward, 12V 110V compressor fridge. Really well built, nice outer case, really well insulated, they do a good job.

Made a bed, some more 252 for the door, and did the base drawings for the wet bath.

I'm putting the cabinets in first......JUST IN CASE! So far everything has worked out good, only have a few parts to liquidate because of upgrades, don't want any more! Got a really good development for the bathroom stall, it just became a structural member!

Door…. A few screws to hold the alignment while the glue dries. Funny how much visual impact a door can make….

Ward, do you want me to get the tires siped? HUGE difference on icy roads, no loss of tread life. Will definitely make a difference on the blocky tread pattern.

After pouring through paperwork for way too many hours for a weekend, I took a mental break and finished putting the heater together, 50 000 BTU core, 260 CFM, 17 1000 BTU output on Espar D5, what will it put out? The heat exchanger mounts on top for a nice compact set up that will only have...

I was leaning towards Tru Induction for the reasons you posted Dzl. I shouldn't really be amazed by the amount of cheap crap on the market but there is a lot, and I'm amazed! I've had a saying for a long time "******t to shine is 10%" looks to apply here too.

That's exactly the plan, it is surprising how physically small the heat exchanger can be, I worked with an application engineer from GEA and then Brazetek, and both came up with very close conclusions so I made my choice on a Brazetek unit as the footprint fit the application better. I...

I'm going with the diesel unit for 1 fuel to feed everything, the kerosene unit is available and I did look at it, very nice little cook top but I don't want to deal with another fuel. As it is there will be a small propane barbeque in the truck which will most likely get used 10X as much as the...

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, it's a bit of a job keeping it all together but I have a great team that deserves a lot of credit. Without them I would not be able to do the things I do. Since the cabinets are in a CAD design phase and I'm having a really awesome (I think) cabinet...

Looks nice and warm!

Freebird, you've commented on my build thread, and I'm interested to see the responses in this thread. I am building my own composite camper on a flatbed platform, both designed to work with each other and the selected chassis. I almost just built a camper to slide into the back of my truck but...

Here is the tank where it will be installed, finalized mounting locations and plumbing connections, put those in tomorrow and powder coat it white. Fits like a glove! My tank supplier has a huge inventory and manufactures CSA certified tanks for RV use, would have been nice to find a grey...
