I’m getting this too with mine and the winter cold. The galley hatch doesn’t really drop as low as you describe but it is definitely not popping all the way up as it was in the summer. If summer doesn’t fix it I guess I’ll get some 30lb lifts.
Yes to this post. We just completed our first 1000 mile trip from SF to Southern Oregon and back.
1. Using the kitchen in the cold is fine – you’re moving about etc. Finding a warm place to eat/drink your food once it’s cooked is the problem. Inside the camper and you risk getting the place dirty with food. Outside and you’re sitting still in the cold.
2. A place to keep shoes – like a little drawer underneath each door – would be good. You can’t bring muddy shoes inside but you can’t leave them outside to get covered with dew either. Has anyone come up with a cool little drawer, deep enough for boots, that fits under the door?
3. The gap between the top of the hatch lid and the roof of the camper, when the hatch is open, is slightly too much so unless I wipe the hatch lid down in the morning before opening it I get dew running down the camper/kitchen bulkhead. Clean up is hard because of the false wall in the galley. I don’t know how to fix this one but it’s really only a cold weather problem and living in SF I hopefully won’t have to deal with it most of the time.
I like it! I’ve kept the wood all over so far and just completed our first 1000 mile trip. Driving through snowy areas the lower front of the camper gets pretty mucky so you will have dirt all over the white section. As long as you’re ok with that it looks good. Nothing a hose down can’t fix.
This topic needs to be pinned! I have the same issue with the front of the doors now popping out by about 1/8″. I think I’ll try fritz’s method of a cut through the stiffener down to the plywood and then bend, expoy and glass. Would have loved to have read about this earlier and tried the stiffener before cut method. Oh well…
I watched the clc youtube video of their build class. Seems like they did a single layer over the whole shell in one step with three sheets of glass, then added a second center layer with a single sheet later. Has anyone tried that?
I just stuck with the three step process center then side then side. Worked out fine.
