And after construction, simply glue a steel or aluminium or fibreglass plate to the skin to spread the load.
Material, size and attachment varied according to the load.

This is off topic for the truck mount discussion.

Yet the information you share is GREAT for me and others - Thank you

Just different use cases

This build did not trust delamination risk, so they do similar to my approach.

(mine has 28 each 1/2 grade 8 bolts)

Nothing is impossible.

A few, for starters:

Perpetual motion? Exceeding the speed of light? Leaving a place before you arrive? Licking your own elbow?

To replace my four person rear bench seat.

I got this pair of bucket seats in leather, and they fold down flat

What features would you like to see on the inside of the main habitat entry door?

Who has experience with a Truma combi LPG ?

We had one for 14 years. It was fine. It did what it was supposed to do.
Replaced it with a Webasto diesel hydronic which provides hot water, central heating and engine pre-heating.
FAR superior.
New build will also have a diesel hydronic and zero gas appliances due to weight, cost, safety and availability.

What features would you like to see on the inside of the main habitat entry door?

A handle to open, close and lock it, which may need to be at a different height to the one on the outside.

The one I have is extremely efficient and very quiet. The fan only runs as fast as needed. It can be set to automatically switch from propane to electric and back. It's a huge step up from the typical travel trailer furnaces and hot water heaters.

Thanks for the reply

How is the hot water volume for showers?

We have a campervan with small tanks, so if we shower, it's navy-style. For two-gallon showers, it's OK. We've never tried to take a long shower so I can't comment on that.

Our current vehicle has a 30L calorifier for the hydronic diesel heater. The new build will have a 10L calorifier for the hydronic diesel heater.
The change is to save weight. It is viable because of the reheat rate output of a diesel heater and it also has a 1000W immersion heater that can be run concurrently with the diesel.
It will keep up with an unlimited number of showers.

You asked.........

My answer addressed that question.
If you establish the re-heat rate you can answer your question for any water heater.
Sorry, but I thought that would be obvious to you?
