    Maybe EarthRoamer used the wrong tires???

    If they utilize the full GAWR (front and rear) that will exceed GVWR- there is always some safety factor built in when axles are selected. Ideally the tires will match or at least be close to the GAWR but ultimately the rear should be weighed and compare to the load limit on the tires. Of course...

    Interior Walls and Ceiling Material Ideas Needed

    You can use coosa panels and either upholster or apply a solid surface laminate for your finished walls. Bond them to the studs with either a mma adhesive or 3M 5200. You could even skin them with a wood veneer if you like that look more, I would recommend a 3/8" or 1/2" panel thickness. Sent...

    Goodyear G275 MSA 335/80R20 Tires - Where to buy and how expensive?

    100% - disassembly is not as simple as undoing the 24 bolts, you still have to break the bead. It truly is wrestling with a 200lb filthy thing. Leave tire spoons are needed as well, that or heavy equipment. Sent from my S61 using Tapatalk

    Build: Ski Machine Foam/Fiberglass Truck Camper

    No sure on exact temp but I would guess around 120*f which a white surface can definitely hit in direct sunlight. We use diab divinycell pvc and pet foam for our shells. Sent from my S61 using Tapatalk

    Build: Ski Machine Foam/Fiberglass Truck Camper

    I know how much time and energy these builds take and I have to admit I cringe everytime I see one using polystyrene foam (xps or eps). It can work as a core but the skins need to be very thick. What happens is when the structure is heated (ie: left in the sun) the foam out gasses and causes the...

    Build: Ski Machine Foam/Fiberglass Truck Camper

    Something else to consider is that chopped mat has a binder in it that dissolves in styrene (poly/vinyl ester resin) and wets out and conforms nicely. Switching to epoxy I think you will find it harder to wet out and more difficult to work the air out and get it to lay down. Although more...

    End All/Be All Wood-like flooring for Truck Camper?

    Checkout lonseal products. They have some good looking and extremely durable "plank" looking vinyl options. Not super cheap as I recall but nothing worth a damn seems to be these days... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    @Adrifters - F550 Surf Camper Build - Adrift Motorhome

    I believe that you can add the beads through the valve stem and not have to split the rim. I'm sure that is not the case for all beads (airsoft bb's will not go through a valve stem) but the ones that are sold for dynamic balancing specially should. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Seeking information on import-sized Bigfoot and Northern Lite campers

    We can build our campers in any length up to a 16' floor. For a shorty (6'-7' floor) the shell insulated with Windows and basic wiring would come in around 600 lbs.

    f550 Wheels for 335/80 mpt 81s on a custom camper rig - Hutchinsons vs Non-beadlock

    I have some Stazworks double bead locks with the conti MPT81's on my Dodge 2500. The wheels are nice, tires are nice but I think the insert doesn't fit very well. I know that when they shipped them John was up in arms because they had such a hard time getting the tires on the rim with inserts...
