OP question was a slide in . If its covered as freight all good . But what about when he takes it off the truck ,and a tree falls on it in the backyard ?
I get you ,its worth 3 or 4 bucks to stay warm. I was thinking of two week long trips into the north . And wondering if this heater would still be reasonable .
I purchased the Kovea for my spaceKap project . Did a shop test with it ,it ran 4 hrs on highest setting one can of fuel . I am hoping on a low setting I can get up to 8 hrs . How long have you been able to get yours to run on a can ? Part of the reason I chose this heater is I also purchased...
Well I did some more digging, and this may be helpful . What seems to happen according to the door sticker is ,even though you have lowered your GVWR the individual axle ratings remain . This would be helpful with a back end heavy camper . So in my case front is 5600 lb rear 6340 lb total...
That's a nice looking setup . Could you tell me how tall it is ? I am building out a 54 inch tall model,and have add 24 inches to the top . it looks like I will be just under 10 feet when it's on my truck . just wondering how much taller I am from a stock set up like yours .thanks, PS I have...
Yes I agree you are giving that weight up ,and have to stay within what you are licensed for .But it does not affect what the truck is truly capable of .
In my neck of the woods we have a magic number of 10,000 lbs then the truck becomes a commercial vehicle . Different licencing and operating rules . So what Build my Ford has cleverly added is a payload delete option . Once all the payload options are added and you end up with a gvwr over...
Well Jacob ,insulation is a funny thing ,if you ask a hundred people you will get a hundred answers . most of them will work . Three layers of half inch will be more expensive ,but not three times as much . and maybe not necessary .Personally I would not use great stuff to glue it on with ,but...
Jacob ,you may find if you want to follow the contours of the van walls . To use multiple layers of thin board . Were as a inch and a half board R 7.5 it won't bend much ,three half inch are easy to bend . PL 300 glue is made for foam and won't eat it like some glues . Also what I like to do is...
I was wondering ,do you think that maybe it is that all 142 inch wheel base trucks have a boxed frame ?And if you go to the longer wheel base models that is when it becomes open ,or maybe duel wheels . My 142 inch came out of Kentucky and has a boxed frame,as viking said .So i went back to...
Looks great,hope you keep in mind guys that have 8 foot box as well . I had a Rockwood 196 hard sided A frame camper for years ,and I loved it .Gave it to my son last year . You may be able to draw ideas and inspiration from that market .The new A frames have lots of pop outs that work much the...
That is a very good set up used on heavy trucks . The frame you are showing us is a Mack truck I believe ,top loader rear differential and inverted springs . Nothing stronger ,but ruff ride . Look at the two front nuts on the frame !! There is a Guy called Everlander he did his own build .Box...
Thanks I had followed that build ,buddy did a great job with it. My cap is different then that, as I do not have the cab overhang . I use a gear trailer ,so my build is just for sleeping for two .built in port a potty . sink to wash up and dining table . it is a challenge to get all that in a 4...
I do not know how to post pictures ,so its not mine . Yes the plow package gives you the 240 amp plus a designated switch that shuts down all unnecessary power draws . It also has two spring ratings above computer normal and heavy duty shocks . the camper package gives rear heave duty springs...
Wow I am glad I found your build thread .I purchased almost the exact same truck Only in a 250 .When I have tried to describe the truck I am met with ha ha and lol comments . so good to find a like minded person . So I also bought off the lot ,and the truck was specked as a contractor work truck...
I am in the middle of my build ,but going heavy on the insulation . R10 base under the cap . R 7.5 walls and R8 roof . Then wrapping the hole inside with reflextic .as a vapor barrier . Right now just having a construction light on inside makes it too hot to work . There is a guy on another...
Wow this is a real good deal .There were trailers like this at expo east for more then double that price . So the buyer has to supply wheels and tires though ? I am not in the market as I purchased a new trailer last year , but I wish I had seen this first . The only thing I would ask them to do...
