I don't really know. I'd guess around $2000. There have been so many hardware store and lumber yard runs it is hard to keep track and I'm not sure if I want to. I've often thought that a used Flippac might have been a better decision but I do like building stuff. The most time consuming part of...

I have concerns about the vent hatch being torn off also. Either from it coming open or from me leaving it open. I chose to install it that way so that when the roof is popped up the hatch shelters the vent opening. The idea being that I could have it open in light rain. Here's some pics from...

For a week my wife and I stayed up late into the night working on the camper. We got it to the point where we could load it up and. Bring it to CA for a little road trip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

A quick update on my project. I had to move everything to my garage as I need to use my shop for work. Getting pretty close now. I'm going to start with a very bare bones interior to get a feel for what we need.

Still have this thing. If anyone is interested.

It was something like that, I can't remember the temp. I tried to sand it after 24 hours and got nowhere. So I waited a week and tried again and it was still brutal. I will definitely go with a two part paint in the future. The singe part paints are much too finicky when it comes to temp...

I have been working on my camper but I have been slowed down by painting. I used a marine primer and paint from Total Boat and have found them difficult to work with. I don't fault the brand however as I believe all marine paints are a bit tricky. theThe primer is supposed to be easy to sand...

I would love to see some detail shots of the seams you used and hear a little bit about what sewing techniques worked well and what didn't. Nice work. Thanks, Morgan

No, I just got some West System stuff (it's wood flour with some other additions) Colorado is a not great for boat building type supplies. I pretty much have to order everything. I produce a lot of shavings at work. I wonder what is the process to make wood flour, it might be good to figure out...

A bit more Progress. Fill coat applied with white pigment. This coat of epoxy fills in the weave of the cloth so that a smooth finish can be achieved. I used a pigment to hopefully cut down on paint coats. My wife can still lift it. Fillets. Inside corners must be filleted, cloth can not...

This rack fits all double cab short bed Toyota Tacomas. Will fit over a topper on gen 1 trucks. Two bike mounts and removable kayak stackers (not shown in photos). Very sturdy and can be easily modified by a metal worker. It used to be configured for gen 1 extra cab trucks and I had it on my...

Nice!

I got mine from http://www.sailrite.com/ they shipped fast and had a lot of helpful videos and info on their site. I did not shop around on price very much because this place had all the sewing supplies I needed in one place. So I went for convenience.

I got Outdura fabric for my popup but have not tested it yet. It is similar to Sunbrella I believe and was slightly cheaper.

This is this system I am planing on using on my pop up. I haven't gotten to that stage yet so I don't know if it works or not but I have the materials and they look like they will work well...

I've been working on my camper. Did not quite make my first week of May deadline, so we had to spend a few more nights in the ground tents. Here are some pics of my progress. All the 1/8" plywood pieces cut out on CNC router A typical panel (this one has some plywood hard paints in it for...

Thanks. I have my own sled, a Skidoo Summit 600. The ride requires intermediate powder riding skills and avalanche safety knowledge is essential. Avalanche terrain can be avoided but you must be able to recognize it to avoid it. It took us about 2 and a half hours each way but we stopped to...
