Jfet,
I have been following your project and would like to ask you a few questions please.
My understanding is that you skinned the camper with "0.062 aluminum sikaflex 252 glued to the steel frame with 1/16" nylon spacers". I don't know the properties of sikaflex but I wondered if an aluminum panel(s) is damaged how do you remove it and/or replace it?
With adajacent panels touching on a 1" sq. tube each panel has 1/2" of contact surface on the vertical tube--correct?
What did you use for the nylon spacers and what kind of Al panels did you source?
I have long been interested in something similar but on a much smaller scale and the skin issue has always been problematic. Thanks
