    Bikes on rear ladder...

    Beef up your ladder and go with the Lolo bar racks, they are awesome. We use them exclusively for interior and exterior bike racks, very easy to adapt them to existing structures. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Truck and tire suggestions for heavy Arctic Fox camper?

    I have a 2016 Ram 3500, DRW that I just c9nverted to a SRW setup. We are running a 20" rim with a load capacity of 4300lbs. We are also running 38.5" tires but in the 20" rim size there are lots of F rated tires. The nice thing is when we did the conversion we split the track width difference...

    U.S. alternative to Seitz top hinged windows

    We have an order of Outbound windows coming in next month and I am happy to report on them when I have them, we are looking into being a NA distributor for them if we determine that they are a good alternative to other US available options. The other windows we use and can sell are polyvision...

    U.S. alternative to Seitz top hinged windows

    Are you actually talking about "watching" the outside on a tv screen inside the camper? To each their own but if this is the case you could just let the MS windows "nature" theme screen saver roll on your laptop and sit on your couch. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    I'm sure it's in you're thread somewhere but what's your weight? The Nitto ridge grappler has a 3970lb load rating in the 37" size in a 18" rim and in the 20" rim. There are other non-commercial or mpt tires out there with higher then expected ratings, just takes reading through lots of tech...

    Baseboard heat or other radiant heat with no fan using espar for heat source.

    Here are a few shots from a recent build. The convectors are placed inside the black sheet metal cover. The grating allows for natural convection to extract the heat from the convector. The placement behind the seating and under the window also gives a very comfortable/warm feeling when seated-...

    Baseboard heat or other radiant heat with no fan using espar for heat source.

    You got it! The image from the Alde site shows what they recommend. Davidl13- The big difference is the hydronic heater vs. the forced air unit. The hydronic unit heats coolant to ~175*F and then circulates it through a series of heat exchangers. We can install forced convectors (radiators...

    Baseboard heat or other radiant heat with no fan using espar for heat source.

    For the true in floor heat the tubes are only placed under open space floor (ie: no cabinets above) but we do still run hydronic lines throughout the "basement" area under the cabinets as that is where grey and fresh water tanks are usually located. The big idea is to heat soak the whole camper...

    Baseboard heat or other radiant heat with no fan using espar for heat source.

    Thanks! I can try to snap a few specific shots to show how the "convectors" are built in to the cabinetry to facilitate efficient heat transfer. The Alde system is log only but we have installed the same in floor heat and convectors with an espar d5 and had equally good results. I believe...

    Baseboard heat or other radiant heat with no fan using espar for heat source.

    We use the Alde system for lpg installations and have had very good results. It is important that the cabinets are designed with the natural convection in mind so that the air can circulate easily. If the vents get covered at all the heat can't get out. We also run the glycol loop through our...

    Reality check for diesel-systemed truck camper

    We are building a camper now that has diesel fired hot water and heat (radiant floor) but we are not installing a diesels cooktop. Instead we are going with an induction unit and beefing up the battery bank. We find that the diesel cooktops are far from ideal and come with a healthy price tag...

    Tires: Falken at3w

    I have a set on a Dodge 3500. They are a good tire, not super aggressive, quiet. I am a pretty die hard discoverer STT fan but tied these as they were a lot less expensive. They are a good alternative especially if you spend more time on the road than on the loose stuff. Sent from my...
