The Official Unofficial Super Pacific X1 Camper Thread

Love it. Have a question. I've got a 1st Gen Tacoma so I don't have the track in the bed. Is there any reason I couldn't make something similar but a little bit taller and then attach the top part to the riv-nuts on the lower SP channel? Also, I don't particularly want to put a heavy piece of plywood in my bed just to anchor something like this. Could I simply put those rubber adjustable feet on the bottom and rest them in between the channels in my bed? What do you guys think?

 

Can you utilize any bed bolts for anchor points? Even just a couple. That would be my only concern. Otherwise.. I think this is a fantastic idea.

 

I was just wondering if i can get more from him, ill ask when i pick up

 

That's a great idea, and it could work! What I found is that the stuff wiggles quite a lot when driving on rough roads (this was super apparent when I just had two individual benches), so you might find that only a few points of contact on the floor might not make it as sturdy as you'd think vs the whole frame resting on the ground like what I did. BUT - if you do a few cross members like I just added it will, in theory, help keep everything snug laterally and hopefully fix a lot of the shimmy (or that's what I told myself anyways...)

You could also make some filler slats in the grooves that you want to use, which would help bring everything up to the level floor - maybe gluing in some wood "studs" on the floor or something would work and save you from needing a whole sheet to cover the bed?

 

just finished the basic wiring for the X1. By mounting the wire on the wing, it allows for both interior and exterior lighting
Ok

 

what are the chances you have a cut list of this stuff and where ya got it?

 

that would be far too easy

hit me up if you want to work something out, though. im sure i could make a comprehensive list but it would take some effort.

 

Which ladder was this? I didn’t see a black one available? Or any actually in stock. Thinking out the idea for the family.

 

If you need mounts for a box system in the bed I would just set some nutsert/rivnut dealios in the bed where you need them and bolt your boxes to the bed that way. I would personally be wary of mounting boxes like that to the actual top. I can't really give you a reason why and I'm no engineer, just seems sketchy.

 

I got the following from CVT:
Telescope Ladder ONLY- no tent mounting hardware.
Mt. Hood - 8 feet long, BLACK
Mt. Hood Ladder Receiver- Set of 2
I ordered it from Kris at the Bend location.
Another person on here ordered a silver one from Roof Nest.

 

Just talked to Josh at Super Pacific about a health issue ive been having for a while now. These guys are awesome. Customer service is great. Josh put my mind at ease, and ill be moving forward with picking all my options and the guys will start my build soon. Shit can seem overwhelming when something is wrong. But when people can put your mind at ease about a potential issue, it makes EVERYTHING seem more tolerable. Im glad i chose these guys.

 

Josh and guys are awesome! I roast my own coffee and I've been sending them bags hoping to get them caffeinated to help pump out campers... LOL Hope your health issues get better Mark! Yesterday I hit 5 yrs post cancer treatment and all is good!

 

Good to hear about SP and good luck with your health issues.

 

Thats awesome to hear. Its been difficult staying positive lately. Its seems like a never ending black cloud. But i do my best.

 

That looks great! I think I'll order one those switch panels. Where did you put the fuse block? Down in the cubby?

The fuse box comes with the controller .I have the fuse box next to my yeti 1000. I’ll get a photo of that later

 

Mark, all we can do is try our best and hope to F it is good enough. One step at a time.... Hoping those dark clouds lead to better days, and bad days make the good days better.

 

edit - deposit sold/transferred 8/13/21 thanks

 

Just got my 75% email - you all convinced me for the black/gray combo on MGM '15 ECLB. I was thinking black/tan tent but the tan is a little too light.

Original delivery date was January when I ordered in June, they are taking the deposits 12 weeks in advance now so maybe more like November-December. I may tell them to hold off a bit so I can make a ski trip out of way up to Portland and back from Denver.

 

Curious to see how many SP are in Colorado. I think @Coop68 has the first one and I am picking mine up Tuesday
