A Canadian company manufacturing panels and fiberglass pultrusions. https://boxxedcp.com/ Camper bodies. No mention of pricing or kits. https://boxxedcp.com/boxxes/ Alloy posted a link in November. Looks like one to keep an eye on / investigate.

I'm curious how much condensation forms in these units when parked outside in the Pacific Northwest in the winter time. Specifically units in stock form without added insulation. Also, how much water leaks into the truck bed between the camper and bed rails as well as gaps on the sides of the...

I'm curious what people have done when running a diesel heater exhaust through walls / floors with a foam core. Foamular 250 NGX has a max temp of 165F and diesel heater exhaust pipes can hit 400-600F. On my spacekap build I used a double wall boat through hull fitting. The hole through the...

I'm shopping interior lighting and am wondering what other people's experience has been? There is the usual Amazon Alibaba express but I'm hoping to find something slightly higher quality. Not much better on RV sites so I'm going to start combing the marine world. I'm specifically looking for...

I'm building out a trailer for camping at out local ski area and am looking for opinions on the battery setup. I think I'd like around 400ah capacity. AGM vs Lifepo4 and appropriate charger. Goals Supply power for 4 days off grid. Charge via shore power at home. Loads are all 12v. No...

I've been investigating hydronic radiant floor heating and want to share some of the links that I have found. My interest is a standalone radiant heat floor system without a water heater or engine block heater although those bits could be added to system. There are other threads covering that...

This will be my first trailer buildout. I want something for my family and dogs to camp in at the local ski hill. Last season we camped in the Spacekap which worked great and now I'm thinking of trying something a little bigger this year. Design goals: As light as possible Warm and dry Room to...

This looks interesting. Has anyone seen one around or at an Expo? https://www.armorlitetech.com/exp-1

This Oregon company is making some cool storage boxes that integrate with CM flatbeds. https://www.stablecamper.com/truck-beds

This discussion is more relevant to full size trucks. Pop-up canopies are definitely the solution for a Tacoma. Hard-side campers in this discussion refers to Scout and Total Composites style light weight shells with minimal buildouts. I started a thread asking about camper fuel economy and...

I'm curious to hear what the panel has to say about a couple of real world metrics for these two styles of campers. I can't be the only one wondering. LOL How much reduction in gas mileage have you seen with the addition of a camper (please specify vehicle and camper)? What is your overall...

Interesting concept for an off grid trailer. They have a system to condense and purify water from air. Not quite a stillsuit (dune reference) but outside of the box none the less. https://www.livingvehicle.com/

The general discussion of hard side campers and off road capabilities has been going on in a few threads recently. I think it is important when collecting different people's tales of survivability that we take into consideration the general region where folks are located. I imagine in SoCal...

Spacekap Diablo 6 Build I love the idea of open source so I'm going to attempt to document some of the things I did in my build so that others may draw from my experience. Last year I purchased 2 Spacekaps with the intention of building a couple different prototype layouts for testing to...

In the spirit of tracking all things camper, here is pop-up camper startup with a sizzly marketing edit. https://www.lonepeakoverland.com/

I was surprised to see that this pop up canopy camper was granted a patent in 2020 filed in 2018. https://vagabondoutdoors.com/ It doesn't seem novel and as far as I can tell. There was also a lot of prior art in this area. Reading the patent, the language is broad and it appears to cover all...

In the PNW we have a lot of snow, rain and mud for over half of the year. In a pop up camper without a bathroom, where do you put wet jackets and shoes when you come inside?
