Cabover Support ....

Thanks for the data Mark. What do you think about this: Angle iron X brace on each side of cabover welded to top support of rear box with cabover bottom rear resting on/welded to angle iron support in main box? If that would work then I just need to get the best size of angle iron to reduce weight y...

Advice and opinions ......

Hi All - I have my rough sketch completed for my truck camper. I plan on having a 7' long by 3' tall extension over my cab as a sleeping area.

heat exchanger ....

I think this is a great idea and I would not have thought of it, thanks dburt! I will use this idea when I get to my permanent location. Hmmmm, metal 55 gal. drums filled with rocks and hot water might do the trick with a radiant floor system. I like it a lot.
