I would say that it shows you many options for different types of boxes, the pros and cons of each type, and a several fabrication steps. It could get you pretty far with your decision making and get you a good start on how to fab it, but it is not probably enough to skip your own research...

This place is awesome!!! So many people willing to help each other out repeatedly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Funny you mention that forum. The book I just posted was reviewed on the expedition portal articles. That is how I first heard of it. Those forums have tons and tons of information. More than anyone has time to read. I recommend the book for a distilled summary and then the large...

It is a hard cover book. I think I paid $25-30 for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, it is a full length Haynes Manual. I would have posted a link, but it went to a popular online book/everything store. Here is the cover. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just got a copy of this book. Looks like a good introduction. "Build your Own Overland Camper manual (Haynes Manuals) " Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How did you extend the frame? Or are you just talking about the bed frame? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe everyone that has built a camper should post their build thread links in this thread for reference? I would enjoy reading them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't have a link to his build. I have just seen pictures. Maybe he has a thread or tutorial somewhere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like we have similar versions with a few tweaks, all Duckworthe inspired. I am curious about your pvc products you use. Can you say more? What are you using for furring strips and paneling? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have not built mine yet...... but I plan to copy much of Duckworthe's design. I will do thin steel frame with aluminum pre-painted skin adhered with sikaflex. Where I plan to vary from his design is that I plan to run horizontal stringers (hat channel or wood furring strips), then spray...

Is that Bryce you are talking about? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I figured there was a reason. I assumed it was because the back end was past the axle where that section was not being pulled as hard when twisting and was not supported on the other side of the mount. Thanks, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I have noticed that on expansible van trucks (different models and series of trucks), they have the back molted to the frame and toward the front they will have spring mounts. Any idea why they don't fix the front and spring the back instead? Seams like you would have less cab-box...

Nice videos and pictures. Looking forward to more. I believe earlier you promised off road driving videos. Looking forward to that one. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for clarifying. So the 1/2 plates are only bolted, not welded? Did you have access to a mag drill? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome work so far. I am enjoying watching the build. Now that you are up and about, do you mind providing more info and pictures? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That sounds pretty nice. 18" travel, disk brakes...... interesting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I want to see pictures of everything you are doing including the camper build. Sounds pretty cool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Makes a lot of sense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
