Great video, very helpful. I'd not have used OSB board though, the first leak will soften that right up which will cause more cracks with the softened support. Would also attract bugs (when wet). I suggest some high density plywood instead or maybe XPS board. Someone suggested a rubber mat over it, but I'd still prefer no-osb near water.

First of all… thanks for dropping this video. It is extremely informative. You two are AWESOME!!! I’m thinking of purchasing a Project-M for my Chevy Silverado 1500 but I have two questions. While watching these videos, I’ve noticed that all of the vehicles are 4x4. My question is… is a 4x4 mandatory for this item? Also, did you have to add new springs/shocks or add a lift to your truck before adding the topper? Any information anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
@liveworkdream8 ай бұрын
4WD is not mandatory, that would only depend upon where you want to travel and under what conditions. The majority of 4WC and Project M customers are overlanding or love getting out off the beaten path where four wheel drive may be necessary. But no, it's not a requirement. We did not have to add any additional suspension support, because we already had AirLift airbags on our truck. They were very useful for the full weight of our fifth wheel. The Project M itself is very lightweight! The stock shell is only 420± lbs. For this, airbags should not be necessary depending on the payload capacity of your truck. If you plan to add considerable weight like we did with our build-out, airbags are something to consider and very easy to install. See our finished build at liveworkdream.com/2023/11/08/diy-truck-camper-build/

If you build these project M’s out, why not just buy a slide in?
@liveworkdream9 ай бұрын
Great question! Well, we love our built-out M for many reasons. For starters, we get to leave our tailgate on the truck. This allows us to keep our truck as a truck, and not just a recreational vehicle sitting in our driveway gathering dust (or in our case, snow, all winter long). Also, the M is super lightweight, and you can go even more places that the ordinary slide in cannot. Also, we designed it how we wanted, not some manufacturer. Then of course, there's the price. You can't get a high-quality pre-owned slide in for the price of a new M. Finally, the M is a terrific option for folks who have light duty trucks like Tacomas. As much as we love FWC's slide in models, and might just end up with one someday, right now, the M is perfect for our camping and traveling needs. Thanks for asking!

Do you mean the windows on the vinyl pop-up? If so, you can't build there. But if you mean the ones down below, the Project M only comes with one mandatory safety window (required by law). The other window is optional.

Any RV or mobile home have connections are equivalent to sink fixtures and this trick does not work on them. They will break every time. You must get hold of the collar to loosen. Hope that helps someone. I found out the hard way also. Appreciate the video. Thank you.
