That is a difficult question without knowledge on what is used in your layup. The following is a guideline. When you bolt anything to a foam core composite you have to create an anchor for the screw, or bolt to fasten to. The simple method i use is illustrated as I fasten the rear door hinge, so...

You are quite welcome. It is a subject that is often discussed with various suggestive solutions. I offer the following as my opinion and what I have experienced working the best for my applications. No need to perf the foam. When you do you can inadvertently create a pathway for resin to go and...

There are 4 LED pods inside the camper ceiling and will be 4 on each outside corner perimeter. I have been using these pods from superbrightleds.com since 2010, in a verity of applications and none has ever failed. I think the wattage is 2.5 each and they have an amazing lens that spreads the...

I just realized I have not posted any of the interior LED light pods and controller. Coming tomorrow. Stay tuned.

As the year draws to a close, I am happy to report that everything is holding up great on the camper. Not even a small crack in any joints or laminate at all. We have treated that camper shell to Colorados finest wash board many times, and nada. Now focused on finding that ever so elusive rear...

I went with a 115V setup for my air compressor in the back on my 2023 Powerboost. Quieter and with a 1 gallon tank it works great.

I think they make real good stuff, and as I never had any issues with the one on the smitty, I also thought that it did a real good job capturing the light exiting the electrons. Ie..... it created a lot of power with the available light as compared to other ones I tried.

Thank you. It is the Renogy 100 watt version of the 50 watt I had on the Smitty.

Quick 60 minute covers for the cables as they penetrate the roof.....

We have power on.....

Fall has definitely arrived here on the western slope of Colorado. We did a fall drive up and around the Grand Mesa NF. It was a 4'ish hr long drive with some of the worst wash board roads I have ever seen, and I couldn't help thinking......Hmmmmm wonder how the camper would hold up. I could see...

100 watt solar panel was mounted to the roof with velcro. The Victron 75/15 is once again my choice of controller. Have used in in now 3 different units since 2017 and it works great and offer a whole lot of Battery data. I ran a 15 amp fused 10 gauge cable to the 12 vdc battery in the front.

Along this project I wanted to bring 12vdc as well as usb ports in the truck bed. Not a fan of drilling in alloys if I can help it so I used the plastic inserts already in place. For strength I overlaid a few layers of carbon fiber and bonded it to the plastic. The Schrader valves are for the...

Ordered solar panel and controller yesterday, along with LED pods for inside and out illumination. Turns out the Ford F150 Powerboost has an issue charging or should I say maintaining the 12VDC battery under the hood and after 5000 miles mine is running low not being charged well. Simple fix as...

Ha..... you might be right... :ROFLMAO: :unsure:

Yessir. I'm gonna take it a step further. I have used my signature as base in the past and I am thinking a double layer of a layup. Inner kevlar in whatever color then outer carbon which will expose the inner kevlar logo which is my signature design. Way to much time for a simple logo..... But I...

I am not. I will never be able to make anything on them as no one will shell out the 15K'ish plus it would take to break even. Perhaps I did a lousy way of explaining the logo. I have had several local and transient people inquiring where on earth I got this and I thought it would be cool to...

Howdy everyone. Been a month or so and I thought I'd check in. It has been quite hot in the grand valley with temps near or just over the triple digits. The camper is doing great, be as it may parked in the garage overnight. None the less outside all day in our airport. Skin temps are in the...

It is good to hear from you. Yeah.... NM's then biggest fire (whitewater/baldy) near Glenwood originated in Mogellon. I happen to fly over it at 41000 feet back in early may 2012. I called it in as two tiny plumes..... I took pictures and magnifying them they were just smoldering and could have...

Went on a long weekend trip to Albuquerque, NM. Bout 400'ish miles each way. On the way down we spent 7 hrs in torrential downpour which included small hail. We escaped the real big stuff that dented the car but in storms that yielded over 1 inch in 30 minutes. The storms caused flooding in the...
