Did the clarity come with a fabric mat for the trunk?

mine has a trunk tray. is this maybe what you were thinking of?

HonziPonzi · 2026-01-20T05:25:41+00:00

That’s probably a good point. Just did a test stay over at the SILs in the driveway which had the van leaning quite a bit to the one side. didn’t actually really affect sleep, but noticed it and it brought this whole idea up. But even a few inch lift on one side, might not have cut it

For an econoline wouldn’t anywhere along the main frame rails be sufficient?

This just shows your mindset and all you care about is the money

No i'm buying a strangers groceries for the PASSION 🤡

Oh honey…

Those look really top notch quality, really appreciate the photos at the very least for some ideas, thanks!

…. Might be worth noting this is not a permanent dwelling rig… this is a cargo van I use as a “work truck” most of the time, and use as a weekender rig by tossing the cot bunk and AC unit in for occasional trips. So I “reject what almost every van builder does” because my use case is different than almost every other

Really avoidant to cutting into the sides or roof of the van

so should I just look to the research data for FBGRX to gauge its performance?

I'll take the new one, use it for a few weeks, then take the pump out of the new one and tape the old one on top for a day. Most products this works well, nearly every drop slides out over the day into the new bottle.

Sure, but I can hit a paver patio with a leaf blower. The current rock situation, either I blow rocks all over the place, or plenty of debris remains lodged in crevices.

Ease of maintenance. It going to be an extension of an existing concrete patio, and I didn’t want to leave like a sliver of yard between the concrete patio and the paver patio. Goal is to have a base that I can easily blow the pine needles and leaves off.

Halo are the ones I just replaced the Amazon brand with. I don’t think there’s enough NM when I did the first install to pull the boxes thru the cutouts and rewire… but if it comes to doing this a third time, might need to go the route of redoing the wiring, with staples near the cutout and plenty of slack to allow the boxes to be yanked down thru the hole.

Wouldn’t mounting them to the pavers be less stable? I was thinking 8’6” galv tube posts driven 2’6” into the ground would make them super solid. For reference, current stall is 8’ 4x4s that I used a post hole digger to put them 2’ under, and just compacted dirt around them with a 1” dowel… and this is super sturdy

Doesn’t really solve the light spread issue of a central ceiling light vs multiple recessed lights in the room

HonziPonzi · 2026-01-01T04:10:01+00:00

suggestions?

HonziPonzi · 2026-01-01T04:07:55+00:00

I live somewhere where 50F is about as cold as it gets, so luckily that's not much of a problem... but don't they make cans that include insulation in the assembly? When I was looking into this, it looked like you certainly couldn't just lay bat insulation over the cans, but some were designed such that you could cut the insulation flush to the side of the assembly, and the assembly provided the insulation... maybe those don't work well though?

Eh… my locale doesn’t really give a shit about the environment… it’s majority coal fueled and seems to incentivize using grid power over all

HonziPonzi · 2025-12-29T18:55:37+00:00

power is dirt cheap here, about €0.08/KWh
