The customer wanted cabinetry, so it looks like I will be building them myself! It is such a tiny unit and has leaks in almost every corner. First up is a good cleaning, then lap sealant! Then a final leak test!! Once the leaks are in check, on to wiring for electric, battery and solar!! Wish me luck!
very cool...
from just the one pic, it looks like a nice camper. never heard of them, but apparently they didn't stay in business very long...that could go two ways: either they did a very good quality job and went out of business for doing too good at a low price OR they had a good idea, under-performed in quality and workmanship and went under....
I had a "overland" camp trailer I bought from Forest River and it sucked. the sides and roof were well made...a composite laminate that was CNC cut out and was very durable and very clean looking. the problem was when crack-head labor but their minimum wage hands on it and messed it all up. it was assembled with crappy pine furring strips and staples. those nice CNC panels were totally ruined by crap labor. I had a leak from the factory that made it past their QC and then the dealership missed it and I missed it until I got home and used it for the first time. once I tore into it, I was sick to see that it was all stapled and caulked. not sure what you can expect with that one. I wonder how the walls are? if you are doing cabinets, hopefully there are some sort of strength members in the wall that you can attach to.
and yeah, mine came with a lot of wiring and even had the solar plug ins for hooking up panels on site. I did wiring in the Navy and a lot of wiring building ROVs for offshore...I'm not exactly an expert, BUT my worst wiring job looked way better then the crap I saw in the factory made trailer. cold solder joints and wires going thru metal with no chafing protection other than the thin PVC coating on the wire itself. huge rats nest of wire with zero wire loom used...just wadded up and tywrapped and stuffed in whatever void was near by. so...you might have to go thru their wiring and make sure its good. the crimp connectors were also a crap shoot...some were loose and making bad connections and others were all messed up with a lot of bare wire exposed behind the crimp just begging to short out.
take some pics and keep us updated...I'd like to see how that camper was built. did they use screws and adhesive or just staples...did they use a nice plywood or did they go with MDF, etc...
