I'm sure you could do it in ali and ply in a few days, but I am not as skilled as you :laughing:
Mine will be heavier. See my first post. Not bothered about the weight. Not bothered about the time. Not in a rush.
The CampBox is basically in all wood and sealed up good and proper with Line-X...
I don't have any experience using aluminium (or fibreglass) which I why I want to stick with materials that I know. It's too big a project to learn on.
I'm in Scotland: what is this "heat" you speak of??
The structure is not so much for insulation as security. I prefer a solid structure around...
This lock down has given me a chance to take a step back and approach the build of my off road camper differently.
Initially I copied the best I could the design of the CampBox
From what I can see it is a plywood box coated with LineX
It looks like the sides are made from one single sheet...
I posted a thread at the start of last year about Hermes. They claimed my parcel was delivered. No it wasn't. Sent me a photo of the "signature". It wasn't my signature or even my name (an illegible scrawl). Courier insisted it was sent to my address. After I pointed out that in that case the...
There used to be 2 alpacas in the field behind our house. Jack and Victor. They were there to keep the horses company and I think they are meant to be good guard animals. The owner would get them shorn once a year or so IIRC. The shearer (?) kept the wool as payment. One had its tackle eaten by...
I live near Dunfermline. If you need a hand to lift it into a trailer or the like give me a shout. If we could cut it down into manageable sizes* it would be doable.
I don't have a portable angle grinder but I do have a Hi viz vest and an innocent face
*2m lengths so we are still social...
I've attached a drawing of the base upended to represent one of the sides (roughly)
Vertical framing approximately 600mm apart. Horizontal ones 300mm apart. 12mm hole/cut out in the horizontal ones. 25 mm gap at the top and bottom.
If I'm understanding you correctly, I haven't provided any ventilation to let the air move in the panel and that is "a very bad thing" as Trump would say.
If I drilled holes between all the PSE timber that makes up the framework and either:
1) Cut a hole with a grill in it to let the air...
The camper is just for me and whatever dog(s) I have at the time to disappear for a weekend.
When I was researching it I really liked the look of this one:
Looking at some of the videos and their website, it's basically a plywood box sitting on a rolling chassis. It's coated with truck bed...
I started building an off road camper a while or two ago. Something I could use in my retirement. The rolling chassis is sitting outside getting nicely weathered. The panels that make up the sides will be torsion boxes filled with insulation and cabling where required. I built the first panel...
Spicy chicken burger:
Mix a 2 handfuls of breadcrumbs with 1tsp of chilli flakes.
Flatten a chicken breast to about 1/2" thick.
Coat breast in flour.
Dip (chicken) breast in beaten egg.
Coat breast with the bread crumbs.
Fry over a medium heat for about 4 minutes a side.
The chicken should be...
We put the dogs in the back, so it would have to be enclosed somehow. If it weren't for the dogs I'd take it off.
The rest of the canvas appears to be fine which is why I'm reluctant to scrap it just yet.
As a last attempt I've ordered a BIG patch and glue. I'll try and span the rotten bit...
There's a tear in the canvas hood of our Land Rover (see photo). I've tried duct tape and a couple tent repair patches but they don't adhere to the canvas. It's at a point where the canvas folds when lifting the hood for access, so it gets a lot of wear and tear. I tried Chicago screws , but...
