JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

[elcoyote]

Martyn,

Can you please explain the heat exchanger a little? I see where the cold water goes in and hot water out. I assume 2 of the others are for the coolant. What is the 3rd for?

Safety blow off valve, just like your hot water heater at home.

As stated the pricing is on our website here.

Very well thought out and practical. Let us all know when everything is actually available so we can get our JKs ready for the Habitat! Some bladder pics, hoses under the JK, and top open/close once that's all working with the torsion bar would be great as well! Also please post weights.

How does the stove connect to the propane tank? Does it come with the hose/fittings and does it need an separate pressure regulator like for a BBQ? Does it have wind guards?

The stove comes with a hose and regulator.

As the stove slides under the fridge regular wind guards won't work, we'll have to see about some stand alone ones.

When can the interior items be ordered and what will the lead time be?

Additionally, are there any pics of the water bag and how it looks when it is mounted?

All the interior items can be ordered now. Depending on what it is that you are ordering turn around time is 2 to 3 weeks. All of the composite storage is made to order and needs to be coated. Fridge and stove slides are ready to be fab'd up.

It's a little difficult to get pictures of everything as the Habitat is moving around a little getting fitted for the production tent and other parts.

The torsion bar works well opening and closing is a one person job. We are having new production torsion bars made at a forge right now, they have a more accurate spring rating for the set up.

I'll find out about pictures of the water bladder and hoses.

We are working on the specifications for the Habitat, but between it moving around and us moving around it's like trying to measure up a moving target.

Is there even a guess yet as to when production Habitat's will be available?

 

[elcoyote]

We will start delivering the first units in January.

What are the measurements on the stove/fridge slide? I've got a tight area, about 25" deep, between my wheel well and tailgate on my truck. I'd rather not build up the floor if I don't have to.

I'll get some measurements for you should have something Monday or Tuesday.

The Combi Slide is:
29"(737mm) long without the stove
30"(762mm) long with the stove
15 1/2"(394mm) wide and 4"(102mm) tall.

I just found it on your site...
and wanted to double check the price...
is the $610 just for the slider and a then additional $315 for the stove or is the $610 the price for slide plus stove?
I have a buddy at work that I have been showing the Habitat to and the inside setups.

The prices are $610.00 for the double slide, and $315.00 for the stove.

The slide uses two locking, full extension slides, rated at 300 lbs. As an OEM we have to buy the slides through a wholesale company, not direct from the manufacturer, as our volumes are not large enough.

The lower tray that holds the stove is a custom item that is produced in low volumes, as is the base used to hold the fridge.

The stove is a Partner Steel Stove, the same one we use in the Horizon trailer, with the controls moved from the side to the end. Easy as that sounds it isn't.

So the pricing reflects high quality, low volume, custom items, made in the USA.

Bombproof and worth every penny. Cry once.

That type of slide changes the game, I'd love one in my FP setup. But first I gotta save up for the water heater/tank/shower, the heater, the...

Oi Vey!
