Just a thought...

You may be better off financially to just find a dissatisfied owner/ builder of a Stewart & Stevenson that has gone through the process and is willing to "get out from under it" for less money than you can complete your box for.

Sorry to "bum your high" but LMTV's make terrible adventure campers!

How does one have no thermal bridging with "glued and riveted" panels?


Looking forward to see where this goes!

The inner and outer surface have separate beams. The cavity is hollow before spray foam.
