Now that you say that, it echos. You said it before and I forgot-

I would argue that insulating the roof is at least as important as the sides, even with the solar shading. The shading will greatly reduce radiant energy gain, though will do little for conduction and convection gains during hot times, and nothing to reduce condensation at the ceiling's thermal...

After our off road experience in the empty truck showing a lack of rear traction and reviewing the difference between the tare front and rear axle weights we are planning to move more weight rearward in the habitat in an effort to attain more balance. We have also noticed while hauling debris...

Are you building a gin pole, too?

Interesting. Innocent until proven guilty is the law of the land. Register in the county where you purchased, take seller with you to the tax collectors office? Stick an old trailer tag on it and forget it? Weighing in Texas is a new requirement I have heard from others when titling. A...

Nice looking unit. Hmmm. Looking at the requirements for title and/or registration for a Texas trailer I see a requirement for proof of insurance, though not inspection. Trailers under 4,000# gross weight do not require a title—

Right. Insulation adds resistance to conducive heat exchange. Your experience is encouraging. As I recall your metal box is also painted a light color in a satin or gloss finish. Once we paint the roof bright white and perhaps improve the reflectivity with a satin or glossy finish less...

All we have done with the AC so far is the bench test. Most of the insulation is in place now on the ceiling and rear wall. Need to finish the AC installation. While the cab is stripped out we are going to paint some trim and all the bits we pulled out of the dash; build out and carpet the...

That looks really cool. Watched a couple videos and read the FAQ's. Thinking about using the ceramic (thermal) coat on the exterior of our planned 'white' roof as an undercoat. Thank you!

Got the ceiling covered in Dynamat Xtreme, except one "test" spot. Though hot I can hold my hand on the Dynamat, the test spot is hotter. Difficult to keep my hand there long. At 5:30pm CDT Ambient outside 97° Air in the closed up parked cab — 106° Surface of the Dynamat Xtreme ceiling —...

I appreciate the help—

Looking at Post 19 the actual layout is more like this: It is getting messy. It definitely needs to be redone, and I like your way best. You are welcome to do it, though I can import the schematics and edit them, too. I'd likely use GIMP or Inkscape. What software do you use?

In the construction industry, especially Public Works projects, engineers have become much more lawyerly over the years. No one really looks at the shop drawings until the pipe fitter points out why it won't work—

We are hoping with all the insulation and carpeted panels the rooftop unit will keep us comfortable We like the Bright White and old Land Cruiser paint scheme from the 80's—

Started the sketch in post 19. Time to update and I like your version editing the schematic version to be truck specific. Painting the main interior what Rusto-Oleum calls Dark Taupe with . My interior designer is still looking for carpet. The exterior upper will be Bright White (old...

"Zeroish" makes me nervous—

We added the second in series battery bank controlled by the Victron Cyrix-ct 230a combiner a couple of weeks ago. Getting ready for the AC installation. Opened up the AC from Nomadic, their 24v X3 rooftop unit. Right in the beginning the installation manual says to bench test before...

As a 'new' member (July 2023) "the community/network" is the best part by far—

No idea, haven't added as yet. We just stripped the cab. Ready to clean up and start insulating doors and walls—

I need to look into the ceramic tint; we haven't addressed the glazing as yet. We are painting the interior a light tan, and the three color exterior a lighter, yet to be agreed upon color. The roof will either have a light colored rack or fairing to add shade and thermal separation from the...
