Ah, perfect then. Seen too many builds where the end isn't supported in the closed position and folks don't realize how much dynamic loads are place on things while driving down the road.

Nice design and work. From a structural perspective, I would have liked to seen a bar on the backside that ties the upper vertical area to the end of the horizontal area. With the weight of the tire and that much leverage hanging out there, I can see the potential of that bending/failing at...

Ah, didn't look through comments. You would think they would put that in the ad description. :unsure:

So much want!!! Been wanting a 712 since first time in one, back in 2007. Interestingly, it looks like this was converted to some form of EFI and not the original carbs. Not talked about in the description.

But he has a 4BT engine, not a 6BT (i.e. 5.9L).

Those look awesome!!!

My guess, if they don't have one specifically for a 4BT, one for a 6BT would work, just not using all of the studs. That said, if the head or block is warped, it won't matter with studs or not.

Agree. If you have having this much issues with head gaskets leaks, my guess is the head and/or block is warped. Another idea, which I have heard happening (not specific to the Cummins) is if the head bolts are stretched, they will never hold torque. I am not sure on the Cummins but I know...

Ah, that makes a lot more sense.

Yeah, really don't understand why people in the US put the camper door on the driver side. It has to be one of the dumbest ideas as it makes getting in and out when parked on the side of the road, a real pain and on a narrow road, dangerous. Is it so hard to get out of the drivers door and...

From what I read, once you glue in Thinsulate, it's not going anywhere. Backing side faces to the inside of the camper, open fibers are what gets glued to the walls. Yeah, the Havelock just gets stuffed in, which is why it will compress/fall over time.

Knocked out another small project on the camper. Installed the rear assist grab handle. Ended up using Riv-nuts installed into backing plates that were riveted to the door frame. Should be strong and allow for easy replacement should that ever be needed. Just by luck, the angle of the grab...

I had considered the Havelock wool but doing a lot of research, it seems the couple common issues were the smell if it got wet and it tends to compress downward on vertical surfaces when bouncing around on rough roads. I decided to go with Thinsulate which does not have those issues. Ordered...

I replaced my Norcold (Dometic) fridge in my FWC with a NovaKool and it worked great for the 3-4 years I had that rig. I currently have another NovaKool sitting in the box, going into my current build. Been very happy with them!

This thing is so freaking awesome! Would loved to start with something like this!!!

If you'll take $100 shipped, I'm your huckleberry.

If you don't need 4WD, a Skoolie is a good choice to build out. So many size options you can find the one that fits your needs. There are some really good builds on YouTube

I seriously need access to a workshop like this!!!! Top of my box sitting at 9.5', it's really hard to get up to work on roof stuff, when working on a sloped driveway.... :(

Sorry to see this up for sale. I loved following the build and adventures this rig went on. Even my wife enjoyed watching (well maybe it was Kicker and not the rig). Good luck with the sale.

Okay thanks all!!! Great suggestions on using VHB just to hold while the Sika cures.
