We intentionally haven't installed the threaded inserts to the right side of the camper yet - my fear is that the epoxy and fiberglass...

I've built up both sides of the floorpack, with just the bottom floor to cut out still: The plan is to assemble the floor in three...

Here’s where the terms of my tenancy come into play. I’d promised that I’d devote all of my “project energy” to the GF’s renovation...

@Black914 I'd say you should go for it. We bought this one thinking it was a basket case since we were planning to strip it down to the...

Thanks everybody! Yes - I'm hoping to keep it as light as possible without sacrificing longevity at least... Our old truck is slow...

I haven't been able to weigh it yet - it's currently still attached to the old floor pack. That would be a good idea though, if it's...
