Yeah it would be easier/lighter to start with square/rectangle/HSS than trying to fix channel. To run electrical plumbing I'll drill through both sides and weld sections of pipe in. The sections of pipe are either 1 wall thickness short (flush) or 1/2" long (protruding) so either way (flush or protruding) there is a good fillet weld on both sides.

Is the same pultrusion used for top/sides/ends?
Is there a reason to mitre (THE OVERLhANDER) vs curve (RAM5500CAMPERTHING) the front?

Our do it yourself FRP Extrusions are completely different than the ones we are sending out with our bigger camper kits. The new ones only allow for 50mm/2" panels. You only need one set of extrusions to assemble a box. Our bigger boxes need 2 different styles.
As for the radius/Vs miter joint: We have a standard combo as per Ram5500 and we also offer custom as per THE Overlander.
Thanks Vic,
Do you have a component that can be use to join 3 pultrusions at the corner?

A Canadian source for a similar item would be desirable.

Our big camper system has corners in fiberglass. The smaller upcoming campers will be shipped with powder coated aluminum caps.
nice. are the components for the corners available a la carte for homebuilders?

in that case you may be better off buying a full kit from us.
Is there info available on building out the interior on these composite panel builds?
I have the same question as above , I’m a skilled wood worker, but can’t visualize how to build the bathroom walls and hang cabinets
I have see some folks dado the walls into the panels and I assume you can glue a wood clear to hang things off?
Thx

Build the furniture from lighter thinner sandwich panel and it will add to the structural integrity of the total structure. All of the "furniture" in this build is 19mm thick sandwich panel. It could be thinner. Mostly simply butt glued, sometimes using an aluminium angle for additional strength.
No timber.
The floor can also be sandwich panel, maybe with a heavier skin.
Completed in 2005 and still as good as new.

Look at Victorian's Transit build. Cabinets are glued to the walls.
