    Ford Transit Cab Chassis with Composite Camper

    I see, sounds like the cabin is pretty well attached to the Transit chassis. Just checked out your webpage on your Transit Camper and saw there is a "full walkthrough" from the composite cabin into the truck cabin which sounds like a great feature vs. a traditional truck camper with no...

    Ford Transit Cab Chassis with Composite Camper

    Hi, quick question. Earlier in the thread it was mentioned the Transit had a stiff enough frame you could just attach the composite cabin to the Transit cab and chassis without the need for a flexible seal or even a subframe. I was wondering is the composite cabin just "glued" to the Transit...

    Hi Victorian, thanks for the clarification on the "recommended" way to attach cabinetry to the walls of your composite boxes. :-) Sorry, had two more quick questions after looking at the PDF you suggested....1) I'm guessing the "glue" shown in your PDF isn't regular glue but some kind of...

    Hi Jetstreamin, Been following your progress since Jan this year and your build looks great. I had a couple questions about how you're building your interior. I know you got your box from totalcomposites and was wondering how you attached the wood framing for the interior to the interior of...
