Yeah..it only makes sense when shipped together with the panels. :cool:

Yeah, 1/4 looks way too thick. 1/8 should do it for sure.

3x3, 1/8 thick (I'm no expert but 1/4 seems way too thick). I would need pieces longer than 8' because I plan the roof to be 10' long. Pickup is out of reach for me...I'm on the other side of the country. :-(

Hi! I’m at the very beginning of the journey…figuring out what gear I need to do what I want. I was living in South America for a few years and I always told myself that I want to get back with a proper camping vehicle. I hope that someone can give me some advise to choose the right camper...
