Sounds ideal! any interest in building more? Then sell your business to Dometic? :)

No. I’m in SF Bay Area, not LA.

that’s fine. But would like to see if @gator70 has the goods. Or not. He’s encouraged to start his own thread.

I’d still like to see those receipts for the built camper, subframe, container shipping, duties, etc. It matters whether those figures you claimed are real. Others on a tight budget might waste a lot of time trying to match them (been there!), when there’s no possibility of doing so. ??

Going through miles of washboard in Death Valley several years ago my jacks dropped/lowered suddenly. Not quite all at once but can happen pretty rapidly if the vibrations are right. Subsequently found out this is not uncommon. So I always detach my jacks, which also narrows my trail profile by...

If you’re glassing the plywood and weight is a primary consideration, then why not dispense w the ply and use a FG skin? Will certainly be lighter and just generally better quality, unless you’re particularly good w layups. or you just enjoy many many hours of sanding.

So you are laminating the foam panels w marine ply I guess? That will need some not insubstantial coating (more than just paint) to be weather resistant, so that’s more weight. What about the framing and corners? Going to reinforce those w alum angle or something? More weight. I don’t go...

I don’t know the details of your planned construction, but your habitat weight seems very low, especially with all that marine ply. I have a TC flatbed camper, opted for some reinforcement in the rear wall, and I came in well over your shell weight. 40 gallons is a huge amount of gray water...
