    DIY 270 telescoping awning mounts for rack with an iKamper RTT

    It’s a cool idea if you’ve got the room on top. Wouldn’t be too hard to DIY I bet, or purchase those ones.

    DIY 270 telescoping awning mounts for rack with an iKamper RTT

    You could use nesting square tubes and gas struts to assist with the vertical lift. You might even be able to put the gas struts inside of the square tubes so it compresses when stored. I’m going to use spring steel push button locks and weld on a set screw to prevent any rattle.

    DIY 270 telescoping awning mounts for rack with an iKamper RTT

    Little more progress on my mounts. I’m going with longer plates that will have bolts in all 4 corners so the weight sits evenly on the welded bracket elbows. Should reduce torque and flexing of the awning at the ends when they swing open. These look rough for sure. The front bracket is...

    DIY 270 telescoping awning mounts for rack with an iKamper RTT

    I am working on adding a 270 awning to my rack that has an iKamper. The challenge is that an iKamper shell HEAVES out to the drivers side on its hinges as it opens to the passenger side. So one can’t place the awning too close to the tent (on the drivers side) or they will interfere with each...

    Little Buddy or Diesel Heater

    I’m trying to engineer a cool way to mount it under my RTT and possibly create ducting to move the heat through the honeycomb base. But it sounds like neither of your two builds have the unit exposed?

    Little Buddy or Diesel Heater

    How is your Propex working for you? They seem great but I hear reviews that they don’t work that well? I’m looking at the HS2211 externally mountable unit.

    Tacoma Overland Drawer 2.0 PullKitchen project

    Yeah I think that could work depending on your tolerances with the C channel, and a slam latch or spring bolt might work depending upon your application. If you build it post a photo here, I’d love to see it
