    Flatbed and composite panel build on Dodge 2500

    Hi Tech Drain Had a hard time finding a shower pan that I would consider a "lifetime purchase", so I am forming one from .125 aluminum and powder coating it. A lot of campers put a grey tank under the shower which is fine in a lot of applications, I sourced, after a ton or research, a shower...

    FG84 Camper Build

    I love the use of the different tones of wood, when ever we travel I always like to check out the local wood work especially when it's so physically attractive. I think it adds a lot of character to an interior and like to see it incorporated with some modern lightweight building practises, i.e...

    You're supposed to pee IN the toilet! Sorry, couldn't resist :) The 200 does make the floor plan easier, the bath is a rectangular shape and the 200 lets the rectangle work in the correct orientation.

    I think I'm going to use a C200CS Thetford, a little less capacity but more friendly room wise for a wet bath and I can mount it in a way that works. That model keeps my bathroom a little smaller in a critical direction. Natures Head won't work for the application and intended purpose on this...

    Or better yet this This would work even better, 1 piece much preferred. Using a Thetford so this is a better approach.

    Andreas……have any floor plans from the ones that worked in a 7'x10' area? I looked at a couple campers after work and realized a well laid out unit looks way better in real life than Solidworks….

    Gotta wait and see it with the camper on, that's when everything will really come together. I'm going thru hell designing a floor plan. Will have an overhead with a queen, needs a dinette, big fridge, wet bath using a Thetford 402 cassette toilet. Flat floor is 8.5' long, 7' wide, the rear kicks...

    Thanks Brad, although I've been successful with adhesives I have been exposed to enough false assumptions and misapplications to trust anything other than a thorough analysis and testing of such products in their intended application. There are also enough general fabrication compromises when...

    Flatbed and composite panel build on Dodge 2500

    Did some more testing after the Sika cured another 5 days. The Sika on the fibreglass side was pretty much cured, the aluminum side was still very raw, maybe 25% cured but some interesting results nonetheless. I just through bolted a couple of pull plates to the panel in double shear to see if...

    We hit NWOL, great event, got home, put new doors on the cabinets with a really good bulb seal and replaced the latches with what we usually use on our industrial builds. The ones we tried initially looked good and are heavy duty, but they are not as good as what we were trying to replace. Now...

    Got the cabinets done and on, I'm going to do a quick re design and change the box angle from 45 degree to 60 degree, that will tighten it up around the tire a bit and give a few more inches of room at the bottom of the cabinets. Later though, got a camper to build first!

    What are you driving? Going to the Sun Road is enroute and spectacular if you've never drove it before, no trailers or tall truck camper type rigs.

    It won't be ready unfortunately. We have a points race this weekend so 3 days are committed to that, gotta have some fun too. I am dragging my Jeep down with me though, going to hit the trail run on Friday, if we weren't on a bit of a short schedule we would take a few more days and enjoy the...
