The hardest part of building my DIY Expedition Camper Yet!

- I install a long L-track alongside my DIY Total Composites expedition camper to mount an awning to the side, and it was the most challenging project within this mega-DIY small home on wheels that I am building for extended global anywhere 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.

Great to see more progress. 👍
I just saw your truck's cousin. Named Elefantino. On Ivan le van channel.
I'm starting to see how great minds think alike when it comes to Fuso Expedition truck owners. 😊👍💪
Thanks! It's been some great progress of late, and getting closer to seeing the final stages and portions of this massive project coming to fruition.
Yes, I know what it is like, taking an hour for one hole! Looks like a great project.
Oh geez, it sounds ridiculous to take to long--glad that sometimes that happens for others as well. Thanks for feeling my pain, I understand how painful it is.
That seems to be how it always goes, the hardest part is something so random that you would think would be quick and easy.
Have you tried cobalt drill bits? They’re definitely worth it if you’re not using them already.
Yes, so hard to predict or plan for each task. I did use cobalt bits, but found that titanium seemed to work better.
Well, if anything else fails, this rail will hold the Box toghether firmly :D
Ha! Yep!
When will this build be finished ?
Darn great question. I wish it was done now and out using it, but sadly still another 3-4 months with work and work travel schedule limiting my time to work on this to a day or two each week. But it's getting close!
@@vantripping its an amazing build and i can't wait to see it finished !
@@richbowie76 Thank you! It's coming, painting it this week. Counter tops going on in about a week. Then the storage boxes go on, and cabinet faces get finished and go on. Still quite a few more things to do, but coming along well in my limited time.
maybe i overheard, but why has the steel bar not been fixated to the outer Wall while the Parts were manufatured?
Also I'm a little bit wondering about your drillig technique... doesn't seem to be the optimal way to me.
Howdy. The steel bar should had been fixed inside the channel of the wall, but was bent/wrapped inside as visible from before the walls were glued together, and the foam inside the channel on the other side of the steel bar was mostly missing, so I tried to fill the channel with expanding foam. What do you think is a better way to drill the holes?
@@vantripping with this amount of holes and the precision needed, renting a vacuum fixated drill could have been one solution. Also, if you are always working on the same height, a small scaffold can be helpful so you can stand horizontally while working.
@@DE-li7jt Thanks for your suggestions.
