Sure. Admittedly I am in the lightweight camp because I am payload challenged. My priorities are lightweight / looks nice in my option /durable . The pic below is simply how I did the wood covered foam panels. The tools / supplies I used are in the picture except for the table saw and the...

I agree with billiebob . Not sure why wood gets a bad rap for interiors. Only use the thickness you need to do the job . Wood covered xps foamboard from Home Depot makes an Incredibly light and rigid interior. You can make the panels yourself and they are cheap .Also look at marine hull liner...

I would go composite for sure with the least thermal bridging you can find. Pay attention not only to window frames but also especially to door frames as they can ice up from condensation thus keep a door from being a door. The fix of course is to keep the moisture from reaching the cold...

Excellent build sir! Even though I built my Fiberglass over foam camper from scratch, I do believe that your idea is the way to go. That is … buy an older fiberglass Kodiak / Northern Lite / Bigfoot gut it and build what you want . And for anyone with some fiberglass skills the sky is the...

I have a Gen 1 (2Wd) and carry a NL 610 I added air bags first then homemade stableloads . Only need 25 lbs in the airbags bags now to take it back to factory ride height. Setup works great. Had it weighed and I’m under weight

Risky for sure but i bought one of these units also. Unlike ### i don't need much hose at all for my install. Even if this unit will cool down just the cabover on my truck camper for better sleeping i will consider it a win re: post #20. Unfortunately its -15C outside so i cant do an actual...

ok great. Thanks for quick response. I’ll drain it down some when not using

Thanks for the replies. Generator arrived and it does the job ..... kind of I had hoped to charge the battery at a fixed 13.8 volts (charger has an adjustable setting) but it overloads the generator. But I can charge at 13.58 volts which gives me a 48 hour resting voltage of 13.32 which I think...

Yep rear doors open fine.. it fits pretty close and it has not touched/hit yet.

1st pic with it on 6x10 trailer. Second is my crude photo shopped idea that would have some added on fibreglass panels

Sure.. Here is a couple more . It was a fair bit of work so I made it to fit my utility trailer as well and can tow it behind my suv

I have a Power Max PM 4 60 Amp charger that am going to use to charge my 100 amp Fortune lithium 12 v battery. Besides shore charging I would like to use the same charger to charge from a Westinghouse 1200/1000generator. This would overload my small generator so I was wondering if I could use...

Thanks ...Sorry no build thread but I may start a thread on the major construction highlights a little later.

Here is my somewhat aerodynamic fibreglass over foam hardside

Thinking that someone maybe was considering making a kind of a cabover insulation retrofit with xps foam board or someone building DIY from scratch and wondering if micro DC a/c would be enough I thought I would post this.. I am not trying to be an expert. Not really sure how a pop-up would...

A person can check the heat transfer of their small camper or maybe check the cutained off cabover section with a kilo-a-watt meter and small 110 volt electric heater that has a thermostat. You could raise the interior temperature of the camper to say 20 F degrees above ambient . Heater needs to...

Regarding the laminated roof rafters I was wondering how much spring back you got ? And what kind of glue Crowned roofs are so cool ...definitely worth the effort IMO.

I for one would love to see the the pics you have. Is the puzzle pieced together idea to increase glue surface area?

Oh thats cool it has a crown. Way better than just flat. Frame looks great and yes as far as hardsides go its pretty hard to beat Bigfoot or Northern Lite.
