Thank you! It is definitely our new go to material as well

Its so nice! It’s around $100 for a 4x8 sheet last time I checked.

@@ScenicCityAdventures Where did you purchase the PVC foam board? Home center or a plastics supplier?

Piedmont Plastics usually has it in stock.

Bahaha, someone has to film! Just wait until we build this fully custom pop up camper on my grandfather’s truck!

Thanks!

You’re welcome keep up the good work trucks looking nice I have a tundra pro with the ATOVERLAND pop-up camper live on the road full-time with A trailer building my truck out to be totally self-contained almost done

That is the dream! It’s something the wife and I talk about doing eventually. Right now we have a lot of rescued pets, but we’ve already decided we likely won’t be getting new ones once they pass on. We are also downsizing apartments this summer and getting rid of a bunch of unnecessary stuff in preparation for eventually doing something like that.

Right on yeah I sold my house and land about a year ago right when Covid hit us been on the road ever since less is more I’m hoping just to be able to live inside my truck but I’m getting kind of old at 58 so the trailer is nice have a blessed day

You too! Have a blessed day and a great evening

Thanks! Nope, it’s not needed, JT was just to clean up the look and create a smooth surface. And yes I plan on trying to secure things a little better at some point, but that will probably be after we finish installing the new 1 gallon water tank and pumps and such.

Thanks! We used some heavy duty PVC glue to put the pieces together and a couple of short wood screws to hold it while the glue dried. We used a heavy duty all purpose spray glue to bond the ACM to the foam board. Something like super 77 should be good.

Piedmont Plastics, but I’ve been told by others it’s more expensive and getting harder to find. :-(

@@ScenicCityAdventures thank you! Yes it seems like things have really gotten out of hand, what happened? I thought things we’re supposed to get better not worse 🙃

Don’t worry, inflation isn’t real. 😉

@@titaniummaster1532 Build Back Broke 😑

It is absolutely strong enough to stand on. We use it to get up and down in the camper all the time. We used 3/4 material and it's very sturdy. The only concern I'd have for drawers is it will scratch and gouge if you are sliding things like wood across it. Wow! I can't believe it's gone up that much. That's too bad. It's such a good material to work with. Do they have it in full sheets?

Thanks! The sheeting is just for looks, and the yes that’s for weight reduction. The top is just set in, the edges hold it in place. Yep, just take the lid off for access.

My dad built his out of 8020, and it’s super heavy in comparison. We used 3/4 inch foam board, and it’s crazy strong.

@@ScenicCityAdventures where did you get the foam board. I can’t seem to find any.

Piedmont Plastics. They have them all over.

Thank you! We built a full setup for my dad’s camper in extruded aluminum and it’s definitely a great way to do it. We found it was a little pricey by the time you get the connectors and mounts and such, and it’s definitely heavier than using the PVC Foam board. On his f250, it really didn’t matter, on my truck it would have been noticeable. The aluminum is easier to work with, and there are tons of great addons and tutorials to working with it. It’s not a bad choice by any means, it’s just not what I was looking for.

​@@ScenicCityAdventuresawesome! Thank you for the reply!

Piedmont Plastics usually has it in stock. That’s where I get all of mine.

@@ScenicCityAdventures great - thanks!

You may have to call your local one to see if they either have it in stock, or can order it because you’re right, I only see 24x48 online. I always just go to our local store, and haven’t tried ordering it online.

@@ScenicCityAdventures I’ll have to see if I can work that into my next trip to Portland. That’ll be when I pick up my Super Pacific;) Thanks man!

Congratulations!!! Something to consider, I used a bed rug as a base for my Super pacific but if you want a harder surface, I think that foam board would make a great base to mount everything down to when you build out the interior of your camper

That’s my plan! We’re still in the planning phase. Likely a really simple, lightweight, backpacker style build. This material is ideal for that objective.

Absolutely is! Good luck! Be sure to join the Super Pacific community forum and upload pics as you build it

Nope! We used regular wood blades, but it does make a mess on the tablesaw!

Absolutely, it’s held up amazingly, even with us using them as benches.

Yup! It’s got the rails, so might as well use them.

Apparently they don’t sell it anymore? I got all mine from Piedmont Plastics.

Piedmont Plastics is where I got mine. They have stores all over.

True, we are going to try and integrate some into the box down the road.

Was just going to ask him the rationale for foregoing bed stiffeners

@@blakebarlow940 it’s something I check frequently but I never had a problem with my bed rack and tent, or the go fast Camper so I haven’t been in a huge hurry to put them in, but it is something I probably should do sooner than later.

Thank you! We use 3/4 inch which may have been overkill but is ridiculously strong.

I get it from Piedmont Plastics. They usually have it in stock.

You absolutely can! We get all of ours from Piedmont Plastics

I attach them to the bed rails on each side using aluminum T-nuts in the tracks.

Just got mine installed. Have quite a bit of moister coming around the bed rails after one day of rain :( do you have any issues with leaking on yours?

That’s weird! I don’t have much getting in on mine. Tho with the bed rug, and benches it’s hard to see.

I seem to have bad luck with leaking. My snugtop leaked from day one from the windows and the bed rails. All American truck and SUV could never fix it. I’m hoping super pacific will be able to at least lessen it quite a bit. It doesn’t help that the bed by the cab is lower than the bed rails on these 2nd gens.

Call Piedmont plastics, ask for the PVC Foam board. We used 3/4 inch.

Piedmont Plastics

It’s 3/4”

@@ScenicCityAdventures I'm considering using this material as well but it's not cheap. Where did you purchase it?

Piedmont plastics. It’s not the cheapest material but with the price of lumber right now it’s pretty comparable. Also it’s waterproof, chemical proof, scratch resistant, won’t give you splinters… You get the idea LOL

​@@ScenicCityAdventuresYes, It makes more sense than lumber!
