Attachment mounts on the rear wall of my DIY expedition camper

- I install L-track and 8020 storage mounts on the rear wall of my DIY Total Composites expedition camper to mount an awning on the rear wall, some traction boards, recovery shovel and a few other things. I bolt and glue these to the rear wall, and it turned out great to support my upcoming global expedition and backcountry travels.
I recently built this Total Composites expedition camper on my Mitsubishi Fuso EarthCruiser CORE 4x4 expedition truck chassis, and am finishing out the interior cabinets, electrical and plumbing systems, and about to paint the entire exterior of this camper and the cab.

Always love your videos and seeing the best tools for each job. Perfectionists often get a bad rap, but I always learn so much from them. Thanks for posting everything you do!
Great, thank you for sharing, and yes, better tools and process usually leads to better results. Glad what I'm sharing is helpful, even if my process is not what others may do.
@@vantripping That's exactly why I find it so informative. It is how I would do it, if I had the skill (and funds).
@@ApteraPioneer Well, hopefully you can some day. Keep learning and working towards it.
hey good work with the tapping. for small tap sizes doing it with a cordless drill its totally safe doing it like you are cleaning and oiling it would just save time you can feel it, it wont break the tap
Thanks for the tip. I've broken about three or more drill taps over the last few years, so I didn't want to risk breaking on and having it stuck inside this wall, so I decided it was worth spending 20 mins more to hand tap them, which fortunately went well and pretty easy.
Nice work, and it seems you have gotten hold of a new microphone :D
Yes, trying to improve the sound and video quality for you all. Thanks for noticing.
do you have any advice for how to attach things to the exterior walls if you dont have any sort of backing material inside the wall, just the foam? Perhaps some sort of drywall anchor type product that can be used in foam? and fill with sealant? and also glue the track to the wall as well? what do you think? Or, is there a way to securely attach to the perimeter fibreglass extrusions?
Great question. The adhesive I use is rated for 300-600 pounds per square inch, so your surface will likely fail before the adhesive unless you're mounting something excessively heavy. You can use some thru bolts, but then you'll transfer heat between inside and outside via those bolts, and likely have condensation off of them when cold outside and warm inside, but there aren't many good anchors for foam since it doesn't have much holding strength, so I'd use a quality and appropriate adhesive and just use that.
Gee, no Lap Sealant with "Mr Clean" on the tube, over all those screw heads?
No need since they are sealed between the bolt and the wall with the adhesive sealant that they penetrate thru.
@@vantripping Don't worry: I was just kidding.
