For anyone building an Overland Camper, Rec Pro just started advertising some nice Gull Wing Windows. These are nice for truck builds, where you want to reach in the camper. They also have a large selection of other inexpensive camper windows.

Beautiful attention to detail and I love the zip out windows, screen, and sun shade! Since my little sewing machine couldn't handle all the material, I left the sun shades out. Big mistake as I now have to use towels and a couple clips to cover my windows in the morning. It's looking very...

Great roof rack installation! I went to great extremes to keep my freedom panels removable in my build. It probably sounds strange but I would still like a roof rack. Any ideas / thoughts on how to mount a roof rack and have the freedom panels removable underneath?

Looking great! She looks ready for a hose down, to look for any small leaks.

I'm not a caulk pro, but have built a few homes. I'm not sure if you used a caulk gun, but it helps to lay long beads. I cut the tip at an angle, and drag the tube, using the tip to make a nice round fillet. If needed wet your finger to smooth the bead out. Sometimes, when I caulk, I run...

I'm excited to see it without the plastic covering!

Looks like the maiden voyage is getting pretty close!

I'm looking at all that real estate I have on the roof. Has anyone used just 3M double sided tape to tape a flexible solar panel on? Two Questions: Will it hold? Will the black solar panel burn my paint?

Great looking rig!! Love the attention to detail.

This forum is mostly pictures. If you want to review 80 some pages of me actually building this rig, go to my build forum listed at the bottom of this. I've been camping in my DIY camper all year so far. I'll try to post more camping pictures on this site. Below is the edge of the Badlands...

While I think about upgrading my interior, and keeping it light, I keep looking at using foam boards. Here are a couple good sources for information, if you're considering building a foamy. The first video is on the best foam glue, which is difficult to find. The second is all about cheap...

Time for a modification!!

My furniture layout is light and worked out pretty well on my recent camping trip. I'm thinking about some improvements though. 1) Build a permanent location for the fridge 2) Balance out the weight, as I currently have most of it on the driver's side 3) Add pull out drawers to make it...

I finally took my DIY camper on a 3,000 mile tour. Nice views from the edge of the Badlands.

Here's a interesting breakdown on the weight of my camper. Final weight of my camper's bottom shell, top shell, tent, and upper bed is 210lbs. Keep in mind this camper replaces the original hard top and back glass, so the net gain is only about 150 lbs. I believe net gain for the Alucab is...

I tried out a new electric pan/griddle for my Yellowstone trip. It's 600 watt/120volt, and worked out perfectly with my small power supply. My little 600 watt hr power supply was enough to keep my fridge running continuously and to make coffee & eggs on the griddle in the morning. The...
