Chiliwich makes wall coverings. I have been looking at this one: https://www.chilewich.com/contract/upholstery/upholstery_fabrics/mini_basketweave From their literature: - Contains Microban® antimicrobial protection, which works continuously for the lifetime of the product to inhibit the...

Last quote I had on a stainless pan from a local fab shop was $500 in the US. Materials, welding, and built to my specifications. 16 gage. My plan is to suspend it from the four sides, so that it rests upon the drain I purchased via Amazon from the UK that has an actual trap and lifts things...

I've used standard wet batteries inside sealed containers that had dedicated vents to the outside of the vehicle. Those are more prone to leaking than an AGM, and I have had no issues. I have considered adding a computer fan to positively pressurize them, but have not found the need. Also...

I used the pink XPS and expanding foam sealant in a can from the hardware store. Cut XPS to fit the cavity on opposing sides of an exterior wall. Clean the surface you are adhering to. Use can foam on outfacing side of XPS, press in place, have a helper hold it. Do the same for the opposite...

Or you can buy an invertor that has a smart charger built in. A battery tender is not going to put much charge into the battery over a trickle. Smart chargers will put more power in when available, then back off when they get to the top of the charge. Aims is one such online that has a...

I lived with the Nature's Head for a year and a half. One couple who eat lots of fiber. The only issue I had (besides the price) was standing up to piss. The velocity when standing up to piss would overwhelm the setup even with the trap door shut. Then we had sewage, and a nasty clean out...

Check out Andrew White on youtube. He has a 4wd channel on there somewhere. He has built out two troopy land cruisers seperately. In each he has a nice setup where the bed moves up and out of the way without any fuss. He worked with a company out of South Africa to make them, as he had a...

Some ideas to look at. 1 - Temporary and removable, thus replaceable if they fail - I think they are called bulb tite fasters. Basically a rubber sleeve that has a brass thread it its base, and a wider top. The screw goes into it. You slip the assembly into the hole, tighten the screw (which...

Per the build sheet from the manufacturer, it is as follows: "SGL RA 19K 190 WB DANA 19060S Single Reduction, Hypoid Gearing, 19,000lb capacity, 190 wheel ends." Later in the spec sheet is shows "no-spin differential for Dana Spicer (previously Eaton) Rear Axles." SGL RA is single rear axle...

The rear box is built, and on the vehicle. I will be modifying it, but it is already 8' wide. Additionally the goal is to get one wheel that could be used on the front or rear. Front dished in, and rear dished out. So as to keep the tire tracks as close to the same as possible. I have to...

Here are screen shots from what I could find on the Dana site.

Additional context. It looks like there are two possible track widths. 72" is standard, & 78" is wide. The structural rating of 21K pounds (yes it is a 19K axle, go figure) is between the differential and the hub end with the spring perch centers set at 38". So the spring perch is the...

Looking at supersingles for a hotshot truck conversion. It looks like I could go to 385/65r22.5 on 12" wide wheels front and rear if I get the offset right. Hub piloted units likely from Alcoa or Accuride. Still working on that, but looking through the Dana catalog I may have ran into a snag...

Yes all calculable with a bit of research and math for sure. I am more in concept at this point. Larger tubing further apart vs smaller tubing closer together is in my mind similar to building a house with 2x6 at 24" vs. 2x4 at 16". More insulation, less thermal bridging, and the like. As to...

Just realized you said T1N, so scratch the whole emissions thing. I miss our old 140" T1N every time I look at the fuel gage (or do a 10k mile service). We used to get 26mpg loaded to the gills with a moto hanging off the back and kayaks all the way up on the roof so long as we cruised at...

We are in the build out phase of our 170" WB 2wd sprinter, and put in a shower. Debated and debated, but in the end you want a shower inside when it is cold/************ outside. We don't go to campsites with any kind of shower, and after a few days of outdoor activity a wet towel/wipes etc. are not...

Using a portable 1500w model. It has 9 settings. #9 is the full 1500 watts, and they go down from there. Very quick, and very controllable. Can boil water, make spaghetti, brown hamburger, and heat the cooked hamburger and sauce between two pans on the one cooktop. It eats less than 10% of...

A similar one to consider might be the Falken ATW. Same idea, and seeing lots of real good feedback as well. I'm planning on slapping a set on my 2wd Sprinter, and will be using them up in Idaho. I'm a big fan of Cooper tires though.

Both Espar and Webasto are comparable units. If you need to deal with altitudes, then the Espar has a $300+ high altitude module that will automatically compensate for altitude up to around 7000 feet. Supposedly the Webasto are good to about 5000 feet before having an issue, but if used...

Another option to consider if going custom is to have the swing away portion not removable, but very low with some type of lug system that allows different upper attachments to be added, changed, or taken off of it. Keep the heavy duty build where it is needed at the hinge and latching...
