    F450 Custom Composite Expedition Truck - ALL THE DETAILS

    A potential option for those seeking more windows in a camper without excessive heat gain is an exterior window film to block heat energy before it enters the camper - madico and 3m both make a quality silver exterior film. @Allysonoverland - what made you choose Arctic? windows vs. outbound or...

    F450 Custom Composite Expedition Truck - ALL THE DETAILS

    Might want to consider some Noctua fans in the electrical area to move air. Next time consider using strut channel to mount the solar panels - it’s super adaptable and will accept different size panels without having to modify the mounting brackets to the roof. Are you putting work lights in the...

    2017 F550 4x4 w/ Total Composites 2-bed + 1-bath camper @ 31k miles $300,000 - Reno, NV

    It's a ford cover that we purchased on ebay. Start looking for part number LC34-4033-CB on ebay and you might get lucky. Another option is whether Banks develops one for the M300. 🤙

    Warning!! DBL Designs - Install Issues & Dishonest Business Practices

    @Christian P. - is it possible to make this a sticky so that others don't have the same negative and costly experience? Really wish others would actually help besides saying “the signs were obvious that this was a terrible company…why didn’t you know everything i know” and then provide no...

    Warning!! DBL Designs - Install Issues & Dishonest Business Practices

    this sucks, but aligns with their apparent build "standards." anyone considering upfitting should look to buckstop - they have several locations and their facilities are much better than dee-bee-ell if paid by credit card, contest the charges. he was the owner of usa6x6, so research that...

    2017 F-550 Camper Build - Ground Up

    a word of advice on the titan fuel tank strap bolts...either replace them with stock ford bolts with distorted capture nuts or double nut. we had two straps let loose while traveling on vancouver island in June 2023 (using the thread locker provided with the tank)...the only way we knew was...

    2017 F550 4x4 w/ Total Composites 2-bed + 1-bath camper @ 31k miles $300,000 - Reno, NV

    Kelderman panhard bar bushings installed (also purchased the trailing arm bushings). Hope to install the IVD shocks today (had to return the fox shocks because they didn’t fit). The new solar panels are outputting >1300 watts on a warm day, which means that they should max the 100A mppt on a...

    Here are some upgrades over the past few weeks: 1. New Firestone W01-358-5323 airbags at all four corners (the air bags over the leaf spring perches require disassembly of the entire rear suspension, so we skipped those, which means there are two new spares and three used spares) -...

    There is also: https://www.advmobil.com/ https://overlandex.com/ https://www.nimblvehicles.com/nimbl-evolution There are others that I can't recall at the moment. Steer more towards the newer "overland" companies because they use a product that insulates better in cold&hot, and the...
