So you want to build a Wedge Camper?

Thanks for the nice build report.

Where does the water go that runs down the tent fabric when open?

Currently, as it sits. It would get into the tent. But we live in California and it won’t rain here till December. When the weather hits, I am taking the camper off and redoing the fabric. It will have a “rain skirt” type of flap that will come from the tent and overlap the 80/20. Thus allowing the rain to go off the side.

Is your screen fabric fine enough to prevent the no-see-ums from entering?

Yes, it’s actually screening used for screen doors. So totally bug proof.

w/ a 1.5" thread on 3299, doesnt that mean you're only going through 1 wall of your 1.5" steel square tube + the 1/4" 3" flatbar?

Yes it does. I had to drill holes in the bottom half of the square tubing to inset the nut that holds the 80/20 down.

Late to the party but if my skamper deal falls through I've made my mind up that I'll build something similar. Thanks for the awesome right up. Even found you on IG.

I might've overlooked it, but did you use corner brackets to connect the extrusions?

photo details of my wedge in process are available on IG @83mmax as well.

Great build thanks for photos. Perhaps I missed it, but did you ever weigh your setup? And the rear window on the camper, where did you find that?

Great job and thanks for sharing the details. I noticed you mitered the corners of the 8020 frame. When using the internal miter connectors, did you have to drill the holes in the 8020 yourself? If yes, did they provide a jig or drawings so you know what size to drill and the appropriate dimensions?

Looks good.

I can't thank you enough for this detailed build. I like how you have a roof top tent build hidden in there for someone who just wants to build that.

Thank you for posting this.

I will be starting a build soon and it is great to see what others have done.

Just wanted to thank OP. This build thread gave me a ton of ideas for my project.
