The Official Unofficial Super Pacific X1 Camper Thread

I think this is working out rather nicely. It's obvious I'm not the only one.

 

Anyone else going to the Overland Expo PNW in Bend OR this summer? Put my money down this morning.
Hope to see some of you there

I ran into the exact same issue. Tried to use some piano hinges but my cabinet design didn’t play nice with them given angles and bench top over hangs.

i ended up switching to just removable panels with magnets instead of flip up hinges covers.

 

I think that will be my next step. I found some no instep? Cabinet hinges that should work with some hole modification to fit the extrusion. I will report back with my outcome.

 

Spent the night in some heavy rain. Overall it’s wasn’t too bad. Def some wetness on the edges but overall it held up nice. No fancy heat setup but did use a heater buddy and had the tent a nice 72 degrees when it was 30-40 outside. now I want to get a diesel heater setup.

 

Where'd you go?

 

72 inside?!? Are you sleeping naked with no bedding? I’m averaging 62 at night with a comforter at home that I shove off after a few hours.

When I’m out camping, low 30s are super comfortable and 20s are still fine, but I have a high quality down sleeping bag combined with wool long johns and a hat.

Below 20, I’ll put hot water into a 1L Nalgene and into a spare sock to keep me warmer, but this usually backfired and I wake up sweating.

 

first real winter weekend coming up with the fireplace. wish me luck!

 

Fly fishing this weekend Eastern Sierra. Sunday morning was 18.. Days between low 40s to low 50s. Slept great, zero condensation.

 

Ohhhh some nice trout in there. Love that river.

 

@frenchee There definitely are great fish!! 3 weeks ago in 2 hours, 15+ to net up to 16" or so. Friday 0, Saturday 5 to net and a number of LDRs. Fish were not eating. Still an awesome time.

 

it was only for a bit didn’t leave it on. Def don’t need to that warm that would be too much long term but was nice while cold and raining.

 

Drop a vote for me and help me get a calendar and an X1 in for 2022!

Thanks man appreciate it

 

Awesome! Would be rad to see both in.

 

I suppose! Let’s do it!

 

No hinges for me either. What I ended up with was half laziness and half wanting to be able to access my cabinet from either side. Lacking a better solution I took the top panels and drilled some wood screws into the bottom of each. 2-3 along one side, and 1-2 on the other. The screws keep the panels from shifting. Turns out you can lift from one side and the screws on the far side act like a hinge sort of, in that they keep the panel from moving back when you lift up from one side. I've had it like this now for six months and will keep it this way. The only downside is the panel can fall in to the center if it moves the wrong way, then you just have to lift it back. Not a big deal. No pics of the underside but they sit on the rails like so:
