Excellent post! Just installed my awning using exact same process. Thanks for laying the groundwork and saving my time figuring it out on my own.

Used bracket aluminum pieces to hold to camper. Attached with 3m tape and then added screws. Low profile and out of the way. The fit is a little too tight, but I prefer that over having it loose.

Adding portable solar. With with the flexible panel from Renology. Attached flat bar aluminum with 3M double sided tape to make frame. Used excess pieces to make legs and added Velcro to keep them in place.

Messed up the measurements on the extensions for the front. Ordered the aluminum extensions from 4Wheel camper. Had to double them to fit past fender.

Trying to save my life with an upgrade to the lift system...Absolutely thought I was going to die with the old camper jacks. Quick cuts to the molding and attached the new jacks.

Been an adventure getting this thing finalized....Got it on life support for our family vacation to SOCAL...here she is at Point Mugu State Park

Here is a picture of the lower box. Carl at Westy Ventures provided me with the heat insulation for exhaust pipe. Uses hogh temp silicone in an attempt to seal everything up.

Well..,Making progress. The propex HS 2800 heater is installed. Need to get some tools to get the gas line finished up so I can test. Couple thoughts. Should have went with the smaller unit HS2000. Had to use a lot if space to accommodate the venting. The goal of this was to build two...

Will end up enclosing the entire frame. Going to add a folding “sleeve” with legs to extend the bed out another 8-10”. Had to sacrifice the storage to make sure I had a stable bed platform. For storage I have used bins that i keep in center isle of camper when on road and then move to cab of...

Putting in the lower bench/bed. Eliminating the back rest. Looking to add some depth to bench without losing anything in the center. The new box for the heater is going to require more inches on the other side. Wanted to still have same or equal space in the center.

Floor down. Traffic master peel and stick. Adhered well to the seal I put down.

Floor all sanded and sealed. Condensation over time had cause all of the staples used to hold down the flooring to rust. Floor was in good shape. No water damage, just some wear.

Good call. Bugs vary on spots and time of year for us, but always want to minimize. The lights came with amber covers too. Wasn’t sure what to do with them, but will find to find a way to stash them somewhere to see if that helps.

Put in a couple extra exterior lights. I was having trouble with the incumbent “porch” light (left aide of door) it would flicker on and off. So wanted to check connections. Decided to look as see how hard it would be to wire in another light on other side and possibly next to window. Very...

If my memory serves me right that small storage box was separate. However, I didn’t see this until the end and took that out last. Believe it was secured with several screws along the back, directly into the base of the camper. It was one of the few pieces that did not have all the L-brackets...

Called 4 Wheel camper up spoke to Aaron and $55 (plus $12 shipping) later some new heavy-duty stainless steel tie-ins arrived. Easy install, just lined up and drill two new holes and bolted down. Will have to touch up the Knock off rhino lining exterior paint job, but well worth it.

Replaced old eyebolts. As you can see some concerns here.

Not much time this week.... Installed Fantastic Vent... Was prepared to do a lot of work, but 4 Wheel Camper had it pre-wired. Was quick and easy install.... Only hiccup was that I didn’t get a good cut on the interior trimming. Should have been fool proof....

Thanks! Just sanded everything down and was inspecting the eye-bolts and was going to see what others did to replace them. Saved me some time!

Just had to build a platform. My first iteration was to keep it as close to the bed as possible. Makes unloading and loading a little more of a hassle. The biggest drawback is the wasted space under the platform. The idea was that I wanted it as “tight” to the truck as possible (Aerodynamics...

The plastic covered panels have been another wonderful task.... Over time almost every corner had started to peel back. Tried several different options to remove (scraping, sanding, paint/varnish/goo off) and nothing worked until I got my hands in to a heat gun and a 5-1 tool. Tedious but...

Slowly deconstructing... There were about 6 million staples in the old stinky carpet. It is taking me more time to prep for paint than taking everything out.

Interesting concept. Any pics of that? Right now I plan on a long L-shaped box. I am relocating the water tank to front of camper. Losing a little space but i hated where it was, next to propane storage. My thought was to replace the long bench with a slightly taller one. Not replace back as...

The tight heater space was the crux of my issues.
