The Official Unofficial Super Pacific X1 Camper Thread

Did you ask where the other Nathan's was?

 

Nice! sounds like we just missed all the fun weather. White looking killer.

 

White looks great. Where was it that you decided to camp? And did you like it? I'll be heading back along the coast as well.

 

storm trooper!

 

I wish I had!

 

We spent a night at Ft. Stevens state park, and then a night up in the Olympic Experimental State Forest (kind of on our way home). Both were great, albeit cold! Ft. Stevens is your typical state park, but the old gun batteries are pretty cool. Very developed campground, lots of kids. Depending on which direction home is for you, I'd recommend Ft. Stevens for a night, it's pretty close to Portland and will give you a chance to give the camper a shakedown while still pretty close to SP, just in case anything is amiss.

 

What style/size T-nut is everyone using for accessories mounted to the extrusion?

 

For those who already have a Super Pacific X1... what's your interiors look like? I see tons of photos from the exterior, they look great, lol. But what's everyone doing for interior to make them habitable?? Photos would be ideal as well.

Or, does anyone just have a build thread that has one of these? Not trying to clog up this thread if its not appropriate.

 

I dont plan on much for mine.
Just install the lights and a wiring panel for my electronics. Other than that will just stay as is. Plan on using the tent section and my existing drawers for stove etc.

 

I’ll get the interior built out soon. My GFC had a bench down the full length of the left side with storage, and our goal zero battery. I’ll do something similar with this one, but probably add a bench on both sides so I can add more water storage and the diesel heater.

 

Mine will probably be a minimal build. Maybe an L shape or just build one side for my fridge and storage.

 

I've posted a photo in here somewhere, but I'm not done yet.

 

Just got home from Deaver. They installed 2 additional leafs that will add 1,000lbs capacity vs stock. The main limitation was no lift or minimal lift since I only had about 1" clearance to get under my garage door. They got it pretty close measuring just 0.25" lift once installed. So I might have clearance for new tires as mine are getting bald : )

The difference in ride quality is noticeable. It wasn't terrible before with just the camper and not a ton of gear, but suspension definitely compressed hitting speedbumps and dips on the freeway, and would rock side to side going around uneven corners at slow speed. It is much more stable now without feeling too stiff or harsh.

 

Install #44 finished, as mentioned in the past, SuperPacific team was awesome

 

Lol rob is #42
Looks great

 

hilarious you event got the number after us. @frenchee 41, me 42 and @blackmist27 43.

 

nice, I was debating if it's worth going there to have them do it properly or calling them and doing over the phone. would be nice to be closer.

In terms of build-outs. Mine will likely be simple I do plan to move the fridge and I like the idea of side bench storage. I had built a slide in there before which was great. it sucks having to jump into grab stuff but with side, access may be easier. We shall see.

 

43 is waaaay cooler than 44.

 

well was really random or coincidental that we were installed in April (4) and each gen got 1,2,3 41 (1st gen), 42 (2nd gen) and 43 (3rd gen).

But Pat @LG Taco will be the 4th or 5th SP in are area. Looking good pat.

 

Given my height limitation and my lack of mechanical skill it had to be done in person, I'm sure they had to try a couple different leafs to get the right result. Absent that it probably wasn't very difficult.

I ended up returning the fridge slide I ordered. We'll see, but I think it will be easily accessible via the side panel. And failing that, I have a foot stool next to the tailgate anyways so I can step up on that.


My Tnutz and solar panels are supposed to arrive tomorrow so I'll be able to start assembly. Some components already on hand, others still on the way. Hopefully I'll have everything by next weekend!
