    My 4x4 Red Cross ERV Build and Adventures

    That is really cool. I've always wanted to use that space but didn't have a good way to fill the gap. Can you post a picture from the outside to show how you closed the gap between wind deflector and the box? Nevermind I see the pieces of aluminum on the inside that you did. Very cool!

    mERVn the Ski & Climb E450 ERV

    Among other things, this weekend: Updated Interior: Matching hinge style on cabinets. Added another latch on the kitchen doors makes them feel much more secure. Home made cushions! They're 3inch foam pads from amazon and some soft denim cases we made. It feels good to have something soft to...

    That is really good info. I knew about Quadvan but didn't know they did that. I'll keep that in mind. Well at least we aren't alone. Did you know it was the one for you when it ran out of fuel? haha

    8 Months In Brief We started out in a sprint to get the truck ski season viable. We did not want to feel like we are in an ambulance or anything like that so we worked on the inside first and got it up to where we were going to be warm and comfortable. A little over 7 Months ago right as we...

    mERVn the Ski & Climb E450 ERV

    No you're all good this is worth talking about! I think a key design parameter for each rig is understanding the desired climate to be comfortable in. For us the goal is to find temperatures between 72F and -20F depending on the season. There's no doubt that Polyiso has the higher-value at...

    mERVn the Ski & Climb E450 ERV

    I've been slacking on the updates - framed the windows in last night & almost finished getting insulation in. The big hurdle of door selection & cutting is still in front of us. Considering a shorter door ~58" if we can find it. A change in what was designed above is that we decided not to go...

    mERVn the Ski & Climb E450 ERV

    About us: We love climbing, skiing and being in the mountains. We want to have a place to stay other than the back of a pickup and eventually take some extended time off of work to ski & climb before our knees hurt and fingers ache. I’m an engineer & my girlfriend works at one of the big apparel...

    WTB Northern Lite or Bigfoot (or other 4-season type) camper

    Hey all, Looking to buy a Northern Lite or Bigfoot camper for 8' bed to use as a ski rig this winter. Looking at Primarily older, pre-2000's models, trying to keep price below 7 or 8k. My truck is a 2003 ford f350 so anything from the 80's probably won't fit the tailgate opening. I'm in...
