Thank-you both for making this work. It would terrible if the forum was ever lost permanently!

It will be whether the inner tube can accommodate the difference between the gap at the top of the crawlthrough and the gap at the bottom. I need the tube to be completely vertical on the house side, and on an angle on the cab side. So the bottom of the tube will be squashed compared to the top. I'v...

Cool. They're talking about a 3" or less gap. Mine's more like 30cm, but the truck boot has given me some ideas.

Yep, low income so looking for home-made solutions :-D I've been experimenting with cutting up some truck tyre inner tubes. It's the sealing that's the tricky bit, on the side that has to detach (the truck has a tilting cab). My builder suggested the blow up tube option as well. Problem is, the back...

Cheers everyone. The house has a 50 x 50 and 50 x 75 steel frame and 40 x 40 at ceiling level, so there's a bit of protection. I've thought too about the worst scenario being if it tipped over (I don't park in places very often where a building would fall on it), another good reason for safety glass...

Do you mean that if the construction can handle travelling then it will be fine in an earthquake? I'm talking about a steel and wood framed house on the back of a truck (not an RV).

I would assume it would be ok too, I was just curious if anyone has actually looked at this, or had experience.

Hey

Anyone got some good resources on designs and solutions for a crawl-through between a cab and house?

Also, is there much knowledge about housetruck construction and earthquakes (being in that part of the world right now)?

How did they run the water off the gutter though?

Hi Stuart,

I was thinking of coloursteel guttering. Do you think the steel would hold up if well attached?

I'm also thinking now of doing more of a drip rail like on a caravan, as I don't really need to collect the amount of water a full gutter would (will probably have a 200L or so tank).
