Hi Again, One of the more hotly contested topics on this thread (and ExPo in general it seems) is how to mount the camper body to the chassis. You want to ensure structural integrity (i.e. – it should come flying off with the wind resistance on the highway), but at the same time have enough […]

Just because you’re environmentally friendly, doesn’t mean you have to be boring… One of the other things we did over the past couple of months was to design and configure the audio/video system for the vehicle. We’re going to be spending a LOT of time in this truck, so we wanted to make sure that […]

Hi Again, Ever since we started this project there has been a lot of discussion / debate around the pass-through from the cab to the camper. We knew we wanted to have a way to go between them, but the question was always “how big?” We could go the Class-C style of a huge opening, […]

Hi Gang, I know it has been ages since we updated the progress of the project, sorry! Things are going well though and have been steadily moving along. We’ve pretty much been working on three main areas: Procurement Floorplan finalization Cab customisation 1) Procurement: I originally had a guy helping me on procuring all the […]

Hi Guys, Thanks for all the great suggestions and pics. Great input as always… A few comments in response to some of your points: We are planning on the cab being a part of the ‘living area’ of the camper, so would much prefer a ‘walk-through’ than a ‘wiggle-through’ type hole. The challenge comes in […]

Hi Giuys, Looking for some advice from others who have designed / lived-with a passthrough from the cab to the camper. We’re currently deciding on how big the ‘hole’ should be, and I’m starting to worry about thermal / noise leakage. There will be about a 5″ gap between the cab and the camper, with […]

Hi All, So for the long delay between posts, it’s been a busy couple of months. Lots of interesting progress on the truck though… Tulsa finished with the chassis & 4×4 conversion, they did an amazing job. I cannot recommend those guys highly enough. Then we drove the truck up to Indiana for some final measurements […]

Thanks, Mark The plan is currently to use aluminum square tube for the camper frame, which should hopefully expand at the same rate as the aluminum […]

To all those who have had some interest in the Eco-Roamer project over the past few months and/or have offered advice… Thank You & Merry Xmas! May you and your families have a very happy holiday season. Thanks for visiting my thread. Stay tuned next year for more details of the build…
