I have been hand the keys to my dream vehicle, a 2003 Fuso Overland Camper to renovate a tired interior... Some background first... http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/120808-4x4-Camper-for-sale-PRICE-REDUCED...

Looks badasss at your place... Yeah, video the simplicity of of your design... Confusion to our enemies...!!M....

Mike's tevevision cabinet is a 10' wide ceiling... Impressive...

The doors do lay flush... I think they have enough weight to stay flat at freeway speed... If not, a length of rope can solve a myriad of temporary problems...

I made the decision to have it on the lower doors because if it was on the upper doors the ceiling twist bolts would be lower on the ceiling and more likely to be something you could bump your head into... No drip groove, no big deal, it's sealed to the lower door...

20 (above) The trailer is close to being done by me, and turned back over to Mike who will finish it, inside and out...Bigger tires, hitch upgrade, awning mounts, etc... (above) First off, sorry for the distracting backgrounds... Here is the curbside view, all folded up... (above)...

Post #134 has a couple pictures with the walls folded out... With a pair of jack stands at the rear, the trailer is rock solid... Forget about needing anything else... I was crawling around in the RTT and it is solid and not all the bolts in yet... It's not going to 'rack' enough to be a...

19 (above) With the help of a friend, the roof top tent support platform was placed on the roof rack... Next the tent pod was placed on the platform... (above) It's big when the tent is opened up... (above) Before the rear doors are installed... I like all the glass... (above) The grey...

With all the movement of body parts, I'm thinking of weatherstripping the vertical corners with snap-on Naugahyde exterior corner covers... There is good vertical overhang from the plywood roof top platform to reduce the need for tight weatherproof sealing up there... Still weighing the options...

18 Now that the painting is mostly done, it's time to do a final fitting... (Above) Glad that the bulk of the painting is done... (Above) Everything has been, sanded, fiberglassed, sanded, epoxy fill coated, sanded, primered, sanded, painted, sanded and painted... (Above) The empty...

Keeping the pins in will prevent further sagging... Brilliant fix... If you store the Jeep indoors, you could rig up a strap like turnbuckle thing to tension the door back to vertical... Fiberglass has memory and it might help to bring it back to a better fit...

I thought of a name for the trailer.. It will be obvious when its done.... The Rubics Cube...

17 (above) The rotation of primed panels continues... (above) Final coat of primer... (above) The plan to paint with marine grade polyurethane paint changed to this... PolyU costs close to $200 a gallon, this is well under $50... (above) ... and stir... (above) Twin guns sure are...

Not that it makes a big difference, we are using 3/4"... Tomorrow, I'll weight the panels after the last batch of paint dries...

They are already built into the floor of the utility body...

16 As was said before: "There is still a lot of sanding, top coating and fiberglassing to happen... Then priming...It's a process..." (above) This is after sanding the fiberglass, top coating with epoxy, then the first coat of oil base priming was sprayed and brushed...After that primer...

Gator Board is great as a core... For a structural panel, I would build them just as I have on this build... Wood edges, T-molded into the foam and fiberglassed... GatorBoard just doesn't have the puncture resistance that would be a stand alone structural panel... For signs, fine, for strength...

Not so fast expecting to see all the details of the assembly... There is still a lot of sanding, top coating and fiberglassing to happen... Then priming...Then the plexiglass has to go in the windows... It's a process... 'D' shaped gaskets will be the second line of defense against water...

15 (above) The fiberglassing continues... (above) Having a heated shop is a necessity this time of year if you are wanting epoxy to set up... (above) The rear doors that hang from the ceiling are reinforced against twisting with "carbon fiber tow"... Basically CF yarn... (above) Slots...

14 (above) With the pods roughly set on the utility body, and the roof resting temporarily on a makeshift rack, the dimensions for the hitch-end wall and the rear door walls are determined, then the Gator-Board panels are roughly cut to size... (above) The individual panels were fitted to...
