Re: 1993 Carpenter/Spartan

Welcome Neal,
Sorry, I haven't visited in a while, been busy with some other stuff. Anyhow, have you got your new bus yet? Sounds just like mine except I have the MT643 instead of the 545. You'll...

Re: My neighbor killed his kids...

Very sad, I hope your kids deal with it as well as can be expected. The human mind is a strange thing. As crazy and sad as this is he was obviously ill as it made sense to him at the time. ...

Do we know if camp Zoe will be accomodating to partially converted buses? Mine won't be nearly done by then.

Re: alternative to PEX crimpers?

I was told those work great also, but I just have a hard time paying that much for one fitting, that could add up fast.

Re: alternative to PEX crimpers?

I can't quite see them. I did see some push-on fittings at Lowes that would be great if they weren't $5+ each! It looks like good old PVC might be the ticket on this one.

alternative to PEX crimpers?

I was looking at PEX tubing at Lowes, it sure looks like it can simplify the plumbing in a bus. But.....is there an alternative to the $83 crimping pliers? That would steer me away from it.

Re: Lets start planning a gathering for 2008!

Did a little more reading on the camp zoe website. Looks like we would want to try for a non-festival weekend, unless you guys want to be around 10000 other people for a "getaway"

Camp Zoe looks beautiful! Sounds good to me. Anyone thought up a date yet? Spring, Summer, Fall? I'm going to try real hard to attend if the date doesn't conflict with something. My wife and kids...

Re: The Beater Thread

Re: Skinning...Sheet metal, where, what and why?

You're welcome! I'm still trying to decide that also. However, I did recently buy some rv windows, so skinning is looking possible.

Re: Skinning...Sheet metal, where, what and why?

aluminun is usually referred to by thickness in inches. I'd recommend .040 to .063

Re: Skinning...Sheet metal, where, what and why?

Not that I'm aware of. If you're concerned about surface finish, galvannealed metal has a nice smooth finish.
