Flatbed and composite panel build on Dodge 2500
- Thread starter Jeep
- Start date
This camper is only 7' wide so it fits a queen bed nice, and there will probably be a little storage available as there is good height in the overhead, I could also go into the main cabinet with an insert which would work good. This unit has a massive amount of storage for it's size, and floor space has a decent flow to it so far. There are also the lower outside storage cabinets on the deck and I have a wall mounted storage locker for the rear outside wall of the camper.
The 3 holes are for Heki skylights, the front one is big enough to legally qualify for an escape hatch. I'm not putting AC or a fan in, we don't have fans or AC in the big truck and it stays nice and cool with windows, skylights, and a breeze, we will see how this one works out, can always add those if needed. There is a thermal dynamic evaluation coming soon!

That's what happens when nobody can give you a REAL answer. A lot of assumptions are made regarding thermal values in the panel world, I hate the "it should" comment, everybody knows that!
Cleaned my desk today while one of my guys welded up the the reservoir for the hydronic heating system. A good friend of mine builds high end river boats for a living and has perfected the reservoir volume and heat exchanger volume to keep the interiors warm on his boats, small enough to heat up in minutes, large enough to reduce the heater cycling to keep things running clean, he's a perfectionist, I'm not going to argue the experience, but I will borrow the knowledge!

are you friends with the outlaw eagle guys? all of you guys are building some seriously awesome stuff in close proximity to each other.
Yes, I know the guys, nothing like turbine powered river boats!
Started assembling the lower cabinet bank, 16" long drawers with full extension slides, 100 lb capacity.
Once everything is in, squared, and adjusted, the lower flange gets bonded to the floor, and the rear flange gets bonded to the wall. Makes the whole cabinet it base extremely strong.
