    I'm surprised you didn't just use the raptor liner inside too. It would have possibly sealed the edges better and acted as a second layer of sound deadener.

    The first issue is adhesion you have to scuff the surface with 600g scotch brite before painting and you really need a primer sealer at least. No matter what a year from now everything you coated in white will be corroded. I’ve been in body shops for 14 years and fixed dozens of home gamer style cut corner jobs like this. Just like me you gotta learn the hard way sometimes.

    • @joshuacstorlie

      @@joshuacstorlie an etch primer would help with adhesion yeah but not corrosion protection if you put a single stage paint on top of it moisture will still permeate the coatings. opening the pores of the metal by scuffing and applying a sealer which is a non permeable barrier, is the best way to stop corrosion. Second best way is by applying 3 coats of a cavity wax material.

    hey, speaking of insulation and condensation, I'm assuming you're planning on using this vehicle in a cold environment. It seems like there might be an issue with warm moist interior air making it through your interior paneling and insulation to the cold exterior metal where it will condensate and later mold/mildew I don't have an expert opinion, I just wanted to make sure you had that scenario in mind in your interior plan. :)

    You guys do great work. There are a couple of comments you should really heed. It is without question, if you do not want issues later, that proper sanding and proper cleaning of the bare metal is essential before laying down the primer coat. Secondly, you should use the primers made for metal covering as they are chemically developed so that they react to form a bond with the metal assuring a reliable barrier and gives you peace of mind there will be no rust issues since the entire area is hidden. But then again if your just going to sell it, good to I guess. Once again enjoy watching you building your pcs of art.

    As a semi truck driver I know how important it is to have marker lights on the side that are linked to your turn signals. Because you are so long, if someone is beside you they won't see your front or rear signals if your trying to change lanes, so they may not let you merge. I would put them in the front bottom corner of the panel that is above your table slide outs. I would also put a set of roof lights on the front panel of the camper above the windows. They will be way more visible there than the angled ones at the very top that you installed.

    I would strongly recommend reflective tape somewhere on the back say you're going down the highway and your alternator dies

    Love the build, that thing is going to be bad ass!! As for the side marker lights maybe integrate them near the tables so you can use the same wiring for those and for indirect ground lighting near the tables?

    I would recommend going inside the camper and actually applying sealer to the cracks especially the ones that leaked the paint outside and I would do this before cleaning the paint off of the outside and definitely before you repaint the inside

    Honestly, in terms of Markerlights on the top I would have used larger Truck Markerlights, possibly "classic" Bullet shaped ones on the Front and larger Oval shaped ones on the rear and for the sides. But then again I love going wild with Markerlights on larger Trucks, to the point it's almost too many, if there is such a thing.

    Wow what a comeback fr. In aerospace we protect plexiglass used on the plane with a thin coat of wax. I like the idea of being seen from the front just for the sake of making sure people know how wide you are at night. Fun thought for the OEM roof lights: rewire them to an aux switch and replace the lights with some super bright pod lights or even the rectangular ones. It is meant for exploring so why not 😅

    The white paint leaking out was a blessing.

    For the side lights you could also just get side mirrors with LED lights. It’s way easier and would add another modern touch to the truck.

    Just a small suggestion brother. Add a long reflector in front of your solar panel to protect it from flying road debris from vehicles and birds…lol

    Man as much as I hate to see things like this happen to yall. I always enjoy watching you over come the problems.
    I have a joke when things like this happen to me, I call it Projects with Sam. I firmly believe Murphy is a close cousin of mine. lol keep on keeping on brother.

    Get the running board lights that add turn signals. Less holes in the body means there's less chance of leaks.

    I think you're right about the paint because I used the same type of paint on the bottom of my Ranger to stop it from rusting, and it dried just fine with an occasional drip.

  • @rafaelthomas4174
    @rafaelthomas4174 Před 2 měsíci

    Chris also before you do the interior walls you need to think about exterior lighting connected to the house battery to illumine the outside of the camper when parked or camping. It would be so much easier to do the wiring and installation now then after.

    Let this be a lesson metal needs to be primed before topcoating. Especially with water based paint primer is a must. You are correct about ventilation.

  • @michaelsanford4177
    @michaelsanford4177 Před 2 měsíci

    I agree with your assessment. I recommend using a floor dryer blower inside the truck cab and supplement it with high speed fans leaving the back doors open. For the exterior paint, stay away from the wire wheel. Use the less aggressive rubber erasing compound wheel for removing stickers

    Some people cant understand that even with all the talent in the world, with out a vision on how to put that talent to good used, you got nothing, Oscar is great, but thanks to the opportunity he was given is that hes mastering all bis skills, and a graceful person dont bite the ha d that feed them. It's about the bigger picture, not just the accomplishments along the way.

    Hey Chris. I do trailer safeties and repairs as part of my job. Your triple ID lights are part of your running light system, as they are just counted as clearance lights
