Hello Overlanders! The time in life has come, I have dreamed of building out my own rig for year, and I've just secured financial means to purchase a rig. I have $10,000 to find a reliable Diesel NPR and a reefer box to start the build. I will plan on potentially upgrading the truck at a later...

Hallo all, I have decided to build out my camper, but skip on the pop top for now, I would love to build one, and feel that I am more than capable. However, I feel that it is in my best interest to wait for my next van that will hopefully have zero rust.

I mean my line of thought with buying a pop top is once the van goes, I can just take it off, and install it onto my new rig. Shouldn't be too terribly difficult to fix a hole in the base of a pre manufactured pop top.

Hello Overlanders! I have a 1997 Astro Cargovan AWD, with some bigger tires and a slide out kitchen I built in the back. I am greatly enjoying my van as a short adventure rig, but I think I may want to look into living in it more long term. My biggest complaint is the interior ceiling height, I...

I'm seriously considering building my own sliding glass door, doors in general are time consuming to build, but buying one in the configuration I would prefer will cost $2000+ (A very significant portion of my budget). I can build one for significantly less and I'll learn a new skill. Lexan...

All good points to consider. For further clarification in terms of window placement, as a few have mentioned that a kicked rock could shatter said Patio door, here are a few 3D views of the project as it sits. The Patio Door will be just inside this garage/deck area. Planning for space for a...

Hello all! So I've been designing out my future home module that can be moved from one vehicle platform to the next with just a few connections removed. I'm still working out my envelope conditions and framing. At the moment in terms of budget I'm looking at a solid welded steel frame with...

Hello Everyone! So I'm in the process of designing my dream off grid home on wheels. Given I'm planning on living out of it I'm wanting a minimum of 72"clearance to be able to stand freely. I'm looking at a 1999 Ford F450 4x4 with a 7.3 Diesel. The problem with this is that basically all Type...
