when I built my wedge I was worried that the gasket would keep compressing over time on the latch end of the lid, I placed 1/8th inch aluminum shims between the lid and the body before attaching the hinges, then installed 1/8th inch cork strip beside my 1/4 inch thick gasket thus allowing the...

Glad to hear you have the water issue figured out

Thanks, still has a long way to go, I have been watching your build, my son would like to do a flatbed version of your build.

After seeing all the information on homebuilt wedge campers I thought I would give it a try, I thought we could do better than my version 1 know as 'The Tarper'. I knew I wanted all aluminum and I got lucky and scored an "L" shaped extrusion at the scrap yard that would work for my idea, I...
