    Plastic tote/box (military) used as water tank in Expo Camper build?

    This is a medium budget build in progress. There is no water tanks yet. It is a Rusty ol' LMTV. Good engine and tranny.. Camper box is to be a 14.5ft Freightliner Ambulance box (already purchased) but not mounted yet.

    just thought of a way to make them more Food grade if go this way. Plastic bags.... grocery store version... they are HDP2 ones. Using ideas similar to video...... just create an inside layer of HDPE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=787VpNLjpmY HDPE-2

    Plastic tote/box (military) used as water tank in Expo Camper build?

    Thank you. Im assuming it would need reinforcing... say wood ribbed craddle it sits inside of. Also top would have to be sealed and bolted shut and whole thing strapped around it for further reinforcement. Seller told me they are Pelican cases. I've asked them to look for more markings though.

    Plastic tote/box (military) used as water tank in Expo Camper build?

    know that RV's, resturants, etc. etc. use a special type plastic that does not leach bad stuff into the water or food. Ok get that. 150gal or so water tanks ain't cheap. Can get Military plastic boxes (water tight) that work out at around 50gal. if I made it into a tank. Plumb three...

    U.S. alternative to Seitz top hinged windows

    "exterior" ... as in "Exterior surfaces" AKA- parts not inside the window frame that would conflict with it's ability to open and close or slide. This would include "exterior surface of window frame" that lies in the Interior of the camper. Sorry for my bad choice of words.

    U.S. alternative to Seitz top hinged windows

    Has anyone tried painting exterior of aluminum frame with Plastic Dip or similar to help cut back sweat? Maybe even try the insulating coatings used to cut temps in walls and floors of vehicles. (Lizard skin is one product) Heck even real thinned out truckbed liner might work.

    Meet the Trot'n Turtle - Unimog U1300L Build

    Shoot the squirrel.... Keep the Mog. If you want to keep the Mog Utilitarian and not with a camper on back...... build you a camper on Mog wheels and tow it where ever you want. Or make it a slide in camper like an Alaskan that you can lift the top.

    "Ralley Guys" but don't they replace stuff so often that is a bit of a mute point? Great idea on putting in valves to be able to shut down part of a circuit.

    AmbuLand build thread

    Not sure how anyone can do WVO (Waste Veggie Oil) these days. All restaurants I tried are tied up with contracts for their WVO. Good 15 years ago I tried over about a ten year period to get some in OH, FL, TX where I lived and pretty much NO veg oil was available anywhere. All tied to...

    Aren't you worried about that copper vibration hardening and cracking over time? Guess the question is how much time?
