    DIY camper box construction- what sizes/wall thickness steel or alu have you used?

    All the above are valid perspectives, but not relevant to the info I seek (not looking to start a debate over which construction method is best). My objective is to construct an RV which takes advantage of the platform to get my wife and I wherever we want to go with a certain level of...

    What type of tubing (or angle?) are you using?

    DIY camper box construction- what sizes/wall thickness steel or alu have you used?

    Yep, already have the Haynes book. Ulrich's is on my Christmas list and if it doesn't show up under the tree, I will put it there myself. You're going with a steel skeleton then, with panels adhered or riveted in for the actual wall?

    DIY camper box construction- what sizes/wall thickness steel or alu have you used?

    Hi all, I posted this on ExPo forum as well. I am pondering options for building an expedition camper build and am curious to hear from any home builders who have used steel to build their habitation box. What sizes and thicknesses did you use? Chassis will be an M1088. Would be interested...

    I have joined the club ! And yes I have lost my mine !

    Are you saying you get hot water from both spigots? I'm guessing the reason for this is that, per this drawing, you feed your bypass loop of heated water back into the cold water tank: This would suggest you're heating all the water in your system.

    How many have had their driveshafts balanced?

    Anyone have a shop they would recommend in the Portland, OR area to take care of this?

    Air intake replacement

    Never mind the dust when driving... Yeah, I saw that but couldn't believe that was considered a valid solution.

    Air intake replacement

    Question for those who have gone the camper conversion route with your LMTV and removed the stock induction: what filtration set up did you use? Looking for effective solutions, or conversely, any "don't do this way" direction. Thanks in advance, Chris

    Need to Replace Wheel Studs

    I have posted a "Wanted" ad in the classifieds section but does any one here have any LH thread studs they would be willing to part with? I would like to get at least two. I thought I found a replacement today with NAPA but they were .007" too big. I will be trying some of the vendor contacts...

    Need to Replace Wheel Studs

    I believe I need the one above your highlight as it's the left side so left hand thread. I had just wandered through the manual and was starting to poke through partstarget to see what they would have. Will probably get some new lug nuts and spares as well. Thanks again! Chris

    Need to Replace Wheel Studs

    Good grief that was fast!!! THANKS!!!

    Need to Replace Wheel Studs

    Let's just say that you didn't catch that your left side wheels studs were all left hand threads before you already trashed one or two. Where would you get a replacement? Perhaps for lug nuts too. I've been scouring the tech manuals but clearly not looking in the correct place and my Google-fu...

    Hello from Oregon

    Lurked here briefly intending to do a bit more research before committing but stumbled onto a local M1088A1 with a new set of tires and the gear swap done. The wife was already on board and after a test drive (it was even registered!) we took it home for less than a high-mileage 1-ton pickup...

    Starting camper build tomorrow
