Ill be another voice recommending the Hest Dually Long. Its the best sleep I have found in the camper yet. Worth every penny.

Kind of depends what truck you have but generally, you have to create a passage through the bed for most electrical. For rear camera, I relocated mine above the license plate and did not need any extension cables etc. For exterior lighting, you will have to drill holes through your camper, not...

Got the Sherpa rack on this weekend. Definitely helps with the wind drag caused by the blunt nose of the camper.

You use the Dobby AAL basically converting the 111's to 112's?

The Deavers are a good choice but might be overkill for what you need. If you plan on emptying your gear out between each excursion and don't have a steel rear bumper, I would choose a lower spring rate or your rear will ride on the stiffer side. You might also want to look into Dobinsons. I...

I would love to hear some of the funny comments/questions people have asked when they see your Canopy Camper. I will start :LOL: "What is that, like DJ equipment??" or "Oh cool, you even have a ramp on the back to load up your motorcycle!" (talking about the Maxtrax mounted to the door)

Those of you with the Shadow Awn, what kind of lighting are you using underneath?

Hest is also currently doing 25% off I believe for black Friday!

Nice buildout GLWS! What are you moving on to???

Very nice build! I am totally on board with the OCD record keeping lol. Thank you for sharing, I love seeing unique builds in that they really get the gears turning and the ideas flowing.

Makes sense. I'm no expert but I could see where filling an air gap with something to create a thermal bridge would yield the opposite effect, however I am under the impression foams and materials that provide loft are specifically designed to have minimal thermal transfer between surfaces. I...

Definitely a concern. The "Window and Door" variation is supposed to apply less psi to the surrounding structure than the regular stuff to prevent the distortion of whatever you are spraying it in. I don't particularly care for the stuff but its all I can come up with to insulate the interior of...

Interested to see if anyone has used an expanding foam to insulate areas like the rungs on the side door panels or the rear door frame sections?

Sounds easy enough! How are you doing the filler panels? Using L-brackets to mount ply or similar or are you actually using the 80/20 groove to almost picture frame a thin enough panel to slide into the grooves?

Good planning! Makes perfect sense. I wish I was more proficient in the design and use of 80/20. My bed is currently still a blank canvas while I try to plan out the build. 80/20 seems like a viable option over just building a setup out of plywood and pocket screws. While the Goose stuff is nice...
