Cost and durability are the largest reasons. Aluminum is more expensive to buy and to weld. It isn’t as resilient as steel either and can fail from even the smallest repetitive movements. So aluminum is will eventually fatigue and crack if it moves. How long that takes depends

Thanks man! I would say having access into the tent from the bed plus the standing room is huge! IMO it makes it all worth it. A canopy with doors on all sides is incredibly useful, but don’t underestimate the utility of also being able to access the tent in there. Mine has been in freezing rain, pressure washed and snow so far and just some small leaks that I have addressed. It’s always parked in the driveway as well.

@@pnwxplore I should have been more clear- cut the Superlight so that it functions the same as a GFC. That’s where it’s tough to figure out. I am thinking just cutting the bag material slightly smaller than the top of the space frame, cutting the honeycomb very similarly to ripcords single panel design (but larger standing area like yours), probably bolt some aluminum to the honeycomb so it has rails to sit on.

My metal working skills are pretty novice.
@pnwxplore Жыл бұрын
Thanks! You’ll need a compound miter saw ideally. Then you can cut both angles at once. Then it’s simply a means of setting the saw up for that cut. You might check out a video on making a compound cut. I used fusion to find the angles of the tubes to get the angles my cuts need to be and then just paid extra attention to the orientation I needed them to be in when I was cutting. I believe you can cut two supports with one setup and then adjust and cut the other two, but don’t take my word as fact cause that was a few years ago now lol. Good luck!

@pnwxplore3 жыл бұрын
Only the frame is steel and it weighed in at 83lbs itself. The entire rest of the build is aluminum or composite. Weighs about the same as a fiberglass topper. Aluminum isn’t used because it’s A) much more expensive, not only to buy, but also to weld and B) isn’t as strong as steel in a dynamic environment when there are vibrations and movement. So it would require a lot more bracing to keep it from cracking over time at the joints.

Do you have an appx weight if the finished camper?

I need to go weigh it still. It’s probably in the realm of 350lbs or so

What was the total cost of materials? How’s it holding up?
@pnwxplore Жыл бұрын
Cost was somewhere around $3k at the time. Prices have gone up a lot since then however. It’s held up awesomely for over 2 years now. It’s on to its new owner now.

How much square tube did you use to build the full frame?
@pnwxplore2 жыл бұрын
I do not recall. Would be dependent on what you were building it for and any extra features
