The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

I'm not sure where the differences in material would fall with regards to your weight preferences, but you could probably use a piece of aluminum plate or a series of aluminum bars to keep the bench surface as smooth as possible...It would take more work, but if you have a welder (or friend with a welder, you could weld sections of the bolts directly to the plate, thus further reducing the thickness by taking the t-nuts out of the equation. Wood would probably also work...just heavier and thicker.

Love the Super Siphon, it is a great product.

I do not like having the tube with gas drops and residue hanging around, as it is almost imposable to get the inside of the hose to dry out in a short time. So I have gone back to using a spout as it dries completely before I store it.

A good way to dry out your siphon hose after use is to swing it in a circular motion (Think cowboy and lariat) either over your head or parallel to your body for a few revolutions. its amazing how little effort it takes to dry it out that way. I still wouldn't store it inside due to the odor, but it does takes care of the moisture.

I'd definitely use plates to dissipate the load/stresses of those cans/carriers.

As much as I like t-nuts, I just wouldn't feel confident that they could take what the vehicle/terrain can give.

Thanks guys, aluminum for the plates on the interior is ordered.

Thanks! It is a fun project to work on, and I look forward to traveling in it when it is finished.

My girlfriend is worried about what my next ''project'' will be....

Thought these were useful interior lights.

Not sure if I am going to use them in my camper, but I could see them being great in a family camper.
