This is a long thread. What's the current design and cost of these? Still stainless? Any provision for using the PH bolts to mount a subframe for solar or a roof rack?

Re: Look what just drove up in my driveway, it's Rusty!

Is your tank pressure maybe too close to the safety relief pressure? Is your tank pressure switch (not the popoff) being affected by movement of the van? Does the tank popoff open when the compressor...

Attach Cabinets to the van...how'd you do it? Does it work?

The title says it all. How'd you attach cabinets inside your van? Have any good pictures or links? Are you happy with it? What would you do differently? I'm looking for something secure, silent, and...

Re: tyvek???

I think it's a good idea to put a continuous layer of a thick protective sort on interior surfaces for the purposes of insulation, surface and seam sealing, and sound control. I plan to use DIY...

Re: tyvek???

no to spray foam for me because:

1. it doesn't adhere to the steel it just fills gaps so with age, vibration, hot, cold, etc it can become loose in the cavity and make noise. squeak, thud,...

Re: tyvek???

Totally agree but in this case I'm not dismissing the idea of cotton insulation on foil quickly. I've touched it, smelled it, even used it before. I know it's properties and if it was what I wanted...

Re: tyvek???

Another absolute vapor barrier (aluminum foil again) with an absorbent insulator(natural cotton fibers) on it's back side. VERY similar product to the soft-touch denim/foil stuff. NOT what I'm after...
