Thank you for your order! Yes, we recommend to scuff the FRP and the aluminum. Cheers

For the EV industry to really take off we need lower price tags. Make it simple and sub $40,000. Just got back from a trip to China and almost 1/3 of the vehicles are EV. Even busses, street cleaners, taxis etc. Most brands I never heart off. Talking to a local that owns a Tesla, he insured me...

Thank you! We use the sika 205 activator for bonding FRP to FRP and FRP to Metal. This was recommended by Koemmerling in Germany. You may wonder why we won't use the Koemmerling activator... Due to this being classified as dangerous goods, shipping it from Germany to North America would be VERY...

Very cool set up by one of our customers. Absolute gorgeous rig! Great interview with the owner in the Truck Camper Magazine: ready-for-the-world

We just recently went through some testing and compared the sika adhesives with the 225. Although the sika products had almost the same technical specs for tensile strength, curing time etc, we found the 225 much easier to work with. For one: the 225 has virtually no VOC . The sika 252 had...

Made some progress. Bathroom walls are in. Windows/storage hatches this week. CAD the storage boxes… They will be made with 2” scrap foam core panels and Tern Overland hatches. Give me another 2 months and there should be a significant change in the overall appearance.

Through bolting the floor to subframe in combination with some adhesive would be my choise for your situation. Best if you have internal floor structure to prevent the panel from being compressed by the bolt. The proper way would be to bolt the floor to subframe via an internal steel frame...

I would put some weight on the truck, lift up one side of the rear wheels and check for frame flex.

Most regular RV that has a 4x4 sticker slapped on and a winch bumper mounted will fail going off the road! Just talked with someone the other day that has cracks and a destroyed floor on a "overland RV" he paid $250,000 for. If you send that much money on an RV with the goal of going off the...

https://aeonrv.com/ A modern, comfortable all season class B that is much better in overall quality than a mass produced one.

The Sprinter and Transit cab chassis both have boxed frame rails. This reduces the natural frame flex to nearly zero For those two vehicles. Any other truck or Van will have frame flex that needs compensation to about damage to a camper body. Saying all of that, after owning a cab chassis...

Correct, the actual boiler vessel needs to be mounted horizontal. The mounting hardware on the other hand can be rotated to allow for floor/wall or ceiling install. As for the distance between the diesel heater and the boiler: the further away the heater is the more heatloss will occur...

Now that's a nice one!

I love the Mercedes trucks. But owning one in North America is not straight forward. I imported a 2001 Sprinter from Germany into Canada and even though the sprinter brand is well established here, the European model is hugely different. Different enough that mechanics that are familiar with...

in 2022 we experimented with a similar design like this . Turns out the additional weight and complexity during assembly made it unattractive for us to take it any further.
