Like this, I am sure roads like this are everywhere.

So it seems that corrugations are a common denominator pretty much everywhere (although those were pretty mild). What I think is different in Oz are the distances involved. We can see hundreds of km with barely a break.
Another pic, this time from the Canning Stock Route.
That is the Military coming up behind us. They can not replicate this stuff with test tracks. They are in 6x6 Mercedes G Waggons.


And another short video clip...The Canning is about 2,000km and lots of it is like this.

here's the tear in my mattress covers.....would I order from them again? perhaps. The price was great, dirt cheap in fact. You get what you pay for I guess. Quality is actually really good, just poor inspection on their part once it was completed they didn't even notice the 2 giant tears. The stitching is coming undone so I'm afraid it will continue to spread unless it gets reinforced with more stitching.

Check out these folks for some of your ball joints connections. All really nice aluminum that holds great. Lots of gimcracks here...

Edit; Well, that didn't work out, lets try again,

Has anyone successfully bolted the camper to a 3rd gen Tacoma?

Puck light link pls

I also love a "soft white" light that dims, AND HAS A RED SETTING. The classic Alu-Cab lights. I find the harsh white of Natural White or even blue white, is terrible at night.

It is so hard to find a good size LED that has soft white about 3500k color, dimmable, and a red setting. However, I found these! 12v, I really like them. Made a vid:

I found these on Amazon. the two settings that are NOT the soft are too harsh for me. But the soft one is really nice. and this is coming from someone that really, really does not like florescent light.
They seem sturdy, and best of all, they come with 2 of the mounting plates. so you can move it if needed.

Wow! Thats the same stretch of road that busted the eye off my OME rear shock

First trip with Coroplast interior panels camping on the coast. Condensation mostly limited to the canvas now. All the wall and ceiling storage in place was nice. Dogs approved.

Looks great!
How does the bed slide in and out with the Coroplast in place?
I was worried about the bed putting holes/dents in the Coroplast when it's slid in/out.

The arctic pack makes a big difference in condensation and retaining heat fwiw.

With the AF top it had 3/4” ply spacers on the side of the pull out. I put 1/2” rigid foam and 4mm (1/8”) Coroplast panel and took the plywood spacers off. There is a little space between the bed and the Coroplast but I also put velcro fuzzy side on the side of the bed pull out so it has a soft surface when it hits the Coroplast. The AF top might make a difference compared to the “normal” style.

It’s on the list. I was thinking of making a set with some of this foil backed foam from Amazon.

I'm testing out the Wave catalytic 6 heater in my camper after seeing plenty of recommendations from people in this group and other camping groups. I didn't want a permanent install, so I found these heavy duty S hooks that will allow me to hang the heater. Feels super stable and strong. Sets up and comes down in a few seconds. As far as the heater goes... We just got back from a trip to Zion where it got down into the low 20s at night. This thing worked awesome. Just need a little ventilation. Had zero moisture issues, plenty of heat. I don't necessarily need a wave 6 I really wanted to wave 3 because they're smaller but I got a killer deal on this.

I would not use any fuel heater in a closed or limited ventilation space.
If you think they do not produce carbon monoxide, I think you are kidding yourself.

I've seen a handful of posts like this. For sure I get your concern. Not looking to change minds, just showing a mounting solution for those who have done their own extensive research and deemed the Wave heaters safe to use.
