One of my favorite youtubers did a video on how all of the fittings work together on a stove pipe in a cargo  camper. Look up "Gonagain"   https://www.youtube.com/c/Gonagain/search?query=stove%20pipe Rick shows in detail how he vented his stove/heater in his 6x10 cargo trailer.  I also enjoy...

Will we be competing for last place in am RV beauty contest? I love DIY home made campers. Believe me, you can tell mine is home made, it has that DIY "shrimp boat" texture look. You are correct about air tight when all of the corners and overlaps are sealed.  On my last build I had to add...

Hello LookinUp,  what do you think... 2) Any response to someone else's post should make them feel glad they are part of this forum community.

I have always used my 14" very sharp fillet knife. I sandwich the foam between two  8' 2x4's and clamp each end down tight and squeeze the foam thin and simply follow the edge,  makes a nice smooth cut. I will admit I have done this up to 6" thick. I have not done one 10" thick. In my 6x12 build...

Good question, I'm struggling with dual or frig only also.....following!

I have modified and glued together about 5 different mattresses. Squeeze it down thin with a 2x4 and run a fillet knife down it. Now spread about 3 or 4 ounces of Walmart Tacky Fabric glue on the two halves and glue them together, I now take a queen size flat sheet and encapsulate the two...

Thanks PineyCusion   . I am definitely going to add the pump up sprayer to my cleaning tools. I like simple!

Some of you are talking about driving to take a shower. I have had every kind of DIY shower you can think of. My shower now is to heat 6 qrts of water on a stove to 108 deg F and shower in a folding dog bath. A  DIY sheer shower curtain with pulleys  on a  track ring mounted to ceiling contains...

d_s  I have converted to below for "semi permanent connection"  things like frig, etc. Small fans,  I still use the cig plug. Trouble with the cig plug is all of the current is flowing through a point and the plug is trying to push itself out of the socket with the spring behind the point. Any...

Jac,  they are very very thin, just draw a circle where you want the hole, place screen on a flat stump, use a thin nail and hammer and go around the circle you made punching holes as close as you can, now just use you small 1/4" chisel to connect the dots, smooth out with a file.

But it got out of China through more than one route. This article summarizes the mutations the virus has accumulated on the way, which in turn tells us the paths through which given strains have passed. Extremely interesting if you're into this sort of thing. (I am.)

S2D, the trailer weighs 675, the box I calculated at 1100 lbs without the build inside. One of my builds was a cargo and it came with really thick (1" ) OSB plywood floor and 1/2" OSB walls and ceiling. That stuff is full of glue and is HEAVY. So my box ends up being a 1/4" skin vs the Al on a...

"The national forest usually averages over 600 abandoned campfires a year, which can start fires if not put out correctly, said George Jozens, spokesman for the Forest Service."    And at night time while driving I constantly see the telltale explosion of sparks as smokers roll down there window...

"at  night I use the ZB on batteries."   The ZB is a 24v dc air conditioner called Zero Breeze model II.  It is 2300 Bu with an EER of about 10. It has several fan speeds and modes. It is a digital ramp up micro rotary compressor type. Literally starts at about 10 watts and slowly ramps up to...

Great  idea Malamute, You know, when it's hot as hell, the  mentality  that I must  have a rig that is much more flashy and  beautiful than everybody else greatly diminishes when I am sitting in my box surrounded by 75 deg air. That  "window unit"  starts to look like a vase full of roses!

Great write up, thanks for sharing. Nothing like managing and controlling your environment. I have a Frigidaire 5000 "Softer" start  model  I run off solar during the day, at  night I use the ZB on batteries.  My build is a box that I slide on to a Alumaweld trailer. The box isn't about trying...

MJRW, could it be that the items you tried might have a little SS in the composition?  Just wondering...

I would love to do this but not being able to speak Spanish is a major show stopper for me. I guess they do have those two way translator devices if someone twisted my arm.

I found them !!!!, cant wait to plant them!

option of operating them at a minimal RPM would be a bonus.
