Maybe a stupid question, but why not use plastic fenders ? No rust, easy to fit and replace and cheap! I’m in Europe, and when I see all of these American style trailers I always wonder why they always choose to make there steel fenders ?
This product is not available on Amazon. But I can say that the seller sent me a free replacement for the rear camera when the original one failed after our winter trip to Mt Shasta. I don't have any affiliation with them, just dropped a message and they responded quickly. Hope any seller can provide such a level of support.
@@realsystemrobot Have you thought about getting a welder? Aluminium is a steep learning curve, but you can get to a reasonable DIY level after about a week or two of practice. I just got a small 180A AC tig machine with HF start, being able to weld aluminium opened up some great options for fabrication for me. In any case, I'm really enjoying your build series and you have some good ideas in this camper. Well done.
@@SethjxlI have a MIG welder and use it for steel fabrication when it's needed. For the camper I specifically designed this type of construction. I think welding aluminum for this project is not needed, rivets are stronger for this application. And I don't use the full frame. Also, I think heating/welding aluminum makes metal weak. Even if you have all the additional equipment for pre-heating/post-heating, even if you practice a lot, then you still end up with some weak points somewhere. Of course, professional welders can argue and provide a great level of experience but this is not my case.
Cheap Chinese made high frequency inverters like these that don't have an iron core copper wound output transformer are not recommended . nor are they safe for use in a mobile application because they are not UL458 listed or certified. They also offer a wimpy surge capacity and a short life expectancy.
Looking great. Good choice on battery charger too, the renogy 60A dcdc allows you to trigger it on and off, unlike most others that will keep draining starter battery until it drops below 12.4v.
Not sure, depends on the diameter of the hole I think. In my case, I used sealant in the critical places where water can go(roof and angled parts of the walls) and glue where it's connected to aluminum parts.
Hi man, I’m looking forward to do this mountain in either late May or early June. I am an experienced advance hiker and getting into mountaineering. I did intro class last year and knew what I was doing. Did some high altitude hikes but this will be my first 14er attempt. Would Shasta be the best place to get into mountaineering?
@@jonnyboy3048 some people use Avalanche Gulch anytime. But what I mean is northern routes. I didn't use it, you better find official information about it, I think it's dangerous.
There is no special video about it but you can see results in my non-build videos for the last three years. Please, check the full list of videos on my channel, most of the offroad-type videos can show some details. Especially Mammoth lakes.
Hey sir! I love your build. Would you make a walkaround detailed video on the exterior and interior of the finished product? I would love to see a closer look at the finished work. I have seen most of your build videos and love them. Thanks! Cheers
For a skilled rider - maybe yes. There are a lot of uphill on a loose rock surface. I would not recommend riding a bicycle for the whole trail. It's more like UTV-rated.
