That looks very good. How much weight do you think that thing is going to weigh when all
is said and done?
The turtle build...must continue..http://www.expeditionportal.com/foru...ild(-revision)
Thanks!,
As it sits now, it's around 500 pounds, according to some math. This seems about right, as I can still lift up the camper while standing under the over cab bed with the tail of the unit sitting on a support.
I'm going to go by the scales and have my truck weighed before and after. will report back with actual numbers.
I'm optimistic to keep it under 700 finished...we'll see...
looking good. The "bonk" bends came out nice.
How far does your cabover stick out, looks like >4' from that one pic with the sheet of plywood on it?
Where did you get the material for the popup section?
2004 Chevrolet Silverado ECSB z71
1982 Palomino Bronco 186
The cabover's outside dimensions are 80" wide by 61-1/2" long. It'll fit a short queen bed. it sticks just barely forward of the windshield of the truck.
Ordered the material from http://www.rochfordsupply.com . Would do business with them again.
Any updates?
Nothing too noteworthy unfortunately. Just today took the top off and window out. Sanded the body and started filling screw holes. Hopefully epoxy in the next few days.
