Join us as we explore the world in our carbon-neutral, 4x4 expedition vehicle called The EcoRoamer. We are happy to share our travel adventures, family memories and homeschooling experiences as we journey down the road less traveled.

Thanks,
I think we should be pretty good. The floor crossmembers are made from 3/16″ c-Channels, and the external frame is made from 3/8″ wall 2″x3″ Tubes. Of course the entire structure will act as a truss as well, reinforcing the overall strength, but all you can see is the floor so far.
btw, We’re planning on doing the mount stress tests in the next couple of days…
