    Even if it doesn't flip over (which I don't think it will) you might want some sort of outrigger type stabilizer jacks. No fun being in a camper rockin' all night making you seasick. Looks great so far!

    • @VWJawbreaker
      @VWJawbreaker  9 місяців тому +1

      Good call, I actually end up installing one on each corner just to ensure things are stable.

      It should do the trick and be much better than a ground tent.

  • @JonathanAdams-z8r
    @JonathanAdams-z8r 9 місяців тому +1

    Nice build Gary! Love the weld on nutsert idea. Perhaps removable corner posts to react the overturning moment? Easy to do addition if needed. Look fwd to the completion. 👍👍

    • @VWJawbreaker
      @VWJawbreaker  9 місяців тому

      I thought about removable “out riggers” as a worse case if the jacks in the corners aren’t enough.

    Great job, Gary. Have you thought about using panel adhesive like Mike Fn uses on Bus floors? Might be some type of an epoxy which will definitely stick!

    • @VWJawbreaker
      @VWJawbreaker  9 місяців тому +2

      I thought about using panel bond however I used what I had here and the 3M tape is more than strong enough to hold the panels in place. Several others have built trailers with the same tape and never had issues.

    G'day Gary,
    Everything is looking awesomely good.
    I've been using 3M 08115 Panel Bonding Adhesive. Its water proof and you can weld through it. You should work it in on your next project.
    Q. Does the roof top tent have a bathroom and toilet. 🤔.
    So thanks for sharing man I'm looking forward to seeing the tent on top.
    ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

    • @VWJawbreaker
      @VWJawbreaker  9 місяців тому +1

      Hey buddy!
      I think that’s the same panel bond I have saved however I didn’t have it on hand and needed to get this part wrapped up. The butyl tape and seam sealer will hold it water tight.
      Nah, no bathroom unfortunately but there’s usually a near by tree 😂
      Tent is going on next week 🤙
      Appreciate you as always!

      Also, with a bus once you’re setup you have to pack everything away if you want to go somewhere as where the trailer can stay behind and fully setup.
