sounds good, i already have E rated tires and the Firestone rep that is a friend is giving me a new set of airbag for F150. i think i will give this a shot and see how it goes. in term of weight, my payload of 1918lbs on the door stickers so the current 620lbs is definitly light weight i m...

Updating pictures.... never had that issue before! Time to leave photo buckets!

i purchased a old spacekap to build a tiny camper. It s the perfect kind of shell as they are very easy to make water tight....they are very aerodynamic and easy to put on and off and secure. i have a F150 5.5 bed so my idea in purchasing this 8 foot spacekap was to cut perhaps 12-24 inches of...

this is the manufacturing plant 30 miles from my house in canada.... they claim to be making this unit. the google street view: https://www.google.ca/maps/@49.8902036,-119.4224511,3a,75y,208.58h,68.18t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1seR21BwuVkJf6ld4IJn8Cdg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Manufacturing meaning...

this will have more to do with shape of trailer than weight. and why does he go 75mph towing!! i tow a 5k 24 feet airstream with my ecoboost and get 15-19mpg. It s very simple, the ecoboost is a monster of a engine with tons of torque and power but you need to learn how to stay off the boost...

Cave camper dosnt actually manufacture the camper so they dont really do the research and developpement for shape and construction. Those campers are made by another company. we have those same camper in kelowna canada. They are definitly not made to be aerodynamic but serve a purpose of off...

look amazing! just need some side storage compartement and your all set! how s the driving behavior in light offroad or on the road?

i figure out a hoist system to lift the pod over the truck. very easy and make the process so much smoother than corner jack. a little nerve racking when you lift it for the first time... then, backing up the truck for loading the fit seems good.... dosnt stick out from each side too...

sheet where 4X8 0.04 tickness. if i had travel to vancouver, they have 8.5 feet wide 0.04 aluminum in coil...so you can buy as long as you want. it s great for bigger size but very ackward to handle. For the paint, i used 220 Grit on a rotating sander. scuff very marginally, clean up very...

i dont have a final weight and i m wondering how to mesure it now? it s a little big for a body scale?!!!! maybe a road scale once mounted. But i calculated all material and been generous...i would say perhaps 300-320lbs. but most likely a little less, i can still easily lift it and move it...

with 1/2 ply....i dont think you will need any window framing. that said, the framing isnt always there for strenght, depending what will be your insulation and interior panel if you make a sandwitch wall.... it might be better off framing . but if it s a single pane window and a plywood wall...

6 coat later.... it s white! i wish i could have painted black to match the truck but living in the Okanagan bc.... it s too hot in the summer to be a dark color. I m trying to think of any accessory that i could add in black color to make the unit a little more matchy with a black F150! any...

priming the outside with zinc chromate..... and i decided to keep it crafty and cheap...rolling rustoleum paint with a foam roller.... Coat #1 it s actually relatively glossy so far..... but will need a good 4-6 coat to get full coverage and uniform tone.... i m using 50% paint, 50%...

productive weekend roof installed...with a little bit of a curve into it. installed insulation board. R7.5 in all walls/roof/floor and cover with 1/8 luan finishing sheet and after all this, i just realise my biggest opening left is 26X36 (door) and that s all i have to get a...

lots done lately A flooring done with 1/8 plywood....1.5 rigid insulation board, and another 1/8 plywood. All of it glue together and it make for a very strong and stiff platform. Tested it on the truck and there is no flex. One of my biggest issue in the past with making trailer is not doing...

maybe a stupid question but...does the roof pop up? how big is the cabover? is that a bed?

it look awesome! looking forward to see it mounted on the truck!!!!

The exact dimension are 77x 72 so it s shorter than a king but still a decent size for one adult and 2 little kids! A glorified aluminum tent!

frame is done!!!! seems very strong so far! tried to fit it on the truck [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] and for some unknown reason....I completely mess up the position of the window that is against the truck rear window. it s a little higher than what I had anticipated. seems like...

Very nice! How much do you expect this to weight??
