    Olympian Camco Wave 6 and the propane alarm help!

    Wow ignorance is bliss...or flipping deadly Ive always been nervous to sleep beside anything other then an electric heater, the plan was to use it only to heat up before bed and maybe in the morning and only when absolutely necessary which would be everyday when winter camping I opted for the...

    Olympian Camco Wave 6 and the propane alarm help!

    Thanks for response that is reassuring to know my heater element couldn’t be trashed already :S i will try moving the alarm further away from the heater for some more tests and reinspect the heater in a dark room like you say before i throw in the towel and ship it to the manufacturer And...

    Olympian Camco Wave 6 and the propane alarm help!

    So i bought one of these things about 6 years ago when i started building my camper so that i could have it handy to design the trailer I rigged it up and confirmed no leaks before this winter and upon a couple times using and testing it recently the LPP alarm on my safe-t-alert would sound...

    Off-road teardrop build from Canada

    Trailer Jack! This is my third one i had a cheap Powerfist one that i got because i like the way it stowed away under the trailer and it was sturdy enough to sleep/use the trailer without being hitched to truck, but it broke Next one was a fairly standard side mount one that swung up and down...

    Off-road teardrop build from Canada

    It was definitely not cheaper, 200$ more in the end...reason is; rhino rack used to have the “foxwing” instead and I had been saving some cash and really wanting to get it and when it came time I got on the Canadian website and it was no longer available/discontinued. I panicked and went to...

    Off-road teardrop build from Canada

    The awning is great, it’s a rhinorack foxwing, i ordered it directly form the USA site, there is a right hand side version and a left hand side version and the sent me the wrong side at first, which they admitted was a a total screw up on their end they shipped me a new one with a box to return...

    Off-road teardrop build from Canada

    Sorry for delayed response the sidewall is 4x8 sheet of plywood with 3 out of 4 of the corners cut off to make it less “boxy” more aerodynamic all the angles you see are 45’s to make things easy, not sure of the measurements of the cut out off hand but if u are seriously interested you can...

    Off-road teardrop build from Canada

    I can see the finish Don’t mind the nasty looking aluminum, scratched/scuffed/smudged, it was inevitable having scratches transporting/ having the metal shop guys bending it in a break, mounting it all by myself was awkward too :S Ive been doing a lot of research on airstream forums about...

    Off-road teardrop build from Canada

    So the fab shop did a great job of bending the metal for the roof, only charged me 90 bucks, I’ll be back to get there help with my tongue box Spent the next chunk of time fitting appliances and cutting out windows and doors and stuff, the 0.063” was pretty dang thick for the router tracer...

    Off-road teardrop build from Canada

    Good news, I found a custom fab shop that will take the .063 sheet I have and make the bends for the roof for me, big relief they seemed jacked to help out, just have to wait for some snow to melt because I have to drop off the camper at the shop and then haul the 5x12 sheet of aluminum down...

    Off-road teardrop build from Canada

    That is a fair concern having batteries bouncing around right next to offgassing propane tanks haha, ultimately on the right side of the trailer I’d like to have about 3 batteries stacked in some sort of rack with the converter on top and propane tanks side by side on the left and then a sealed...
