    Warping of aluminum skins when mounted to box

    Also everything is spaced 16” where I could and I drove it from Tx to Al with no issues. It won’t win any races but I still passed a few other rv’s

    Warping of aluminum skins when mounted to box

    I posted 4 pictures but it doesn’t look like they are going to show up. I’ll give it a bit to see if they load or come up somehow then I’ll repost.

    Warping of aluminum skins when mounted to box

    I ended up using vhb on the skins for the entire camper. The aluminum I bought was coated white on both sides and the sikaflex would not stick. I had the back skinned and after 24 hours it pulled right off. I had to clean it up and use the 3m tape. Sikaflex work great for the bare metal to metal...

    Warping of aluminum skins when mounted to box

    It’s polyiso with fiberglass coated paper on each side. I don’t want to cut off the fiberglass coating to make them flush and lose some of the r value. Once the aluminum panels are up and the glue is dry I’ll attach the interior paneling with screws To sandwich the insulation in. If It looks...

    Warping of aluminum skins when mounted to box

    Update pictures I took the advise of doing the inside first. It has made things way easier. 110v amd 12v is wired up. Plumbing is almost done. Roof and floor decking is done. I’m gonna put the skins on before I do the inside paneling. The insulation is supposed to be 1 1/2” like the tubing but...

    Warping of aluminum skins when mounted to box

    Thanks solo318. That makes a lot of sense. My thinking has been to do the outside first so I can start using the toterhome. Then I can take my time doing the inside and still be able to use the toterhome.

    Warping of aluminum skins when mounted to box

    Solo318, I am building it inside. What are the advantages of doing the inside wall coverings first? Also I ended up scratching the idea of using 3m tape and went with Sikaflex 252. I’m just now starting to put aluminum panels under my box and around the back and bottom of the storage...

    Warping of aluminum skins when mounted to box

    I don’t think crowning every panel would be the best option for me. I need it flat when I’m done. I’m asking more about if other people have secured the top and bottom with VHB and also about VHB’ing it to the horizontal pieces like around window and cross braces. I’ll try to get in touch with a...

    Warping of aluminum skins when mounted to box

    I’m building a motorhome on a Freightliner M2 chassis. I have the living quarters all framed out and I’m ready to skin it. Reading through 3m’s installation instructions for using the VHB tape has me a little nervous. It says not to attach the top or bottom so the panel can contract and expand...
