    Chevy Express - rear awning

    I have considered these options for my "out the back" van camping lifestyle. http://tuffstuff4x4.com/products/tuff-stuff-4-5-x-6-rooftop-awning/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvYT3oumT1gIVRF9-Ch3w8QocEAQYAiABEgInGvD_BwE Opps, can't find the other link, I will look later.

    Possible new supplier of fiberglass composite panels to North America

    I agree with the above. The blue box, it looks like a pop top, did your company design that? Did you provide the mechanism or design to customer requirements? What does the box/top mating surfaces look like? Is the rear door the only door? Additionally, what did your box/truck end up weighing...

    Introducing Trekker Vans Campervan Rental

    I'm not the OP but I agree, a pic of the bed made with two adults laying in it, the table set up with two adults and two kids sitting at it (with dinner on the table), inside of the rooftop tent with two kids and their stuff, etc.

    Introducing Trekker Vans Campervan Rental

    No pocket screws, just Titebond 2 and brad nails. The fact that these boxes are only attached on one plane means that there is less stress on the box itself. They are only attached to the floor. If they were attached to the floor and a wall, the racking/twisting on uneven surfaces would have...

    Introducing Trekker Vans Campervan Rental

    Vans 5-7 left the shop recently and I thought I would update the thread with a couple minor changes that to me make a big impact in overall fit and finish. Previously the countertop, and table top were laminate with exposed Baltic Birch edge detail. The problem is, plywood edges tend to have a...

    Dirt worthy wheel and tire options for heavier campers

    My approach would be (and I have given it some thought because I want to do a cutaway chassis and custom box) to have the custom rear springs made to the final weight of the camper loaded with bikes and gear with a bit over. If you spring the truck for its total available GVW it will always...

    Dirt worthy wheel and tire options for heavier campers

    How many spares you plan to carry and availability in areas of travel are good things to consider in this decision too. That box is going to be really tall on 35-36" tires and a 6" lift....

    MG Metalworks Radius Arm/Coil Spring Axle Conversion for E-series Vans

    Are you DIY'ing this? If so I wouldn't be discouraged from the previous posts. Regarding front, once all of the front suspension is removed as necessary, what is left is same/similar. I do remember Chris saying there was a minor difference regarding a leaf spring conversion but I'm not sure it...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    Thanks for sharing what you learned. I have been browsing for a cutaway chassis, trying to figure out the best way to get one (box van, ambo, etc.). Does the cab have power (windows and locks)? Is/was it a concern?

    I'M BATVAN! ...a 2006 E350 V10 DIY Ujoint Conversion

    I fixed the pic. Yeah, at the other yards I have dealt with its almost like calipers don't exist. I think any calipers they can get a core for right away are gone. Its instant money for them. This yard seems to not care. If buying an axle requiring a complete rebuild I think the cost should be...

    I'M BATVAN! ...a 2006 E350 V10 DIY Ujoint Conversion

    So the junk yard took the bent axle back no questions asked, they didn't even want to see the pics. Probably happens all the time, he did mention that it was a light roll over so possible it got hit on the end. The new axle came with e-brake cables and calipers and rotors. I kept the calipers...

    Surprised you didn't go with an F-series chassis, seems like you had mentioned getting one in the past. What made you decide to go with the e series? Regardless, looking forward to seeing what you do with it, looks like a great start. B
