Build Thread TWExplor Build

have you noticed an increase of wind noise since doing the roof conversion?

We finally are settled in to our new home in eastern Washington and have begun to use the Silenus roof conversion. We have not noticed any additional road noise or vibrations.

It is so incredibly quick to setup and take down…we love it!

We also got the 270 Shadow Awning installed. We discovered that the rear bracket mounting bolts did not have an attached nut plate inside the Silenus frame.

Left side awning attachment point.

This would be the right side attachment point.

The good folks at OK4WD worked with us on the “known” warranty issue. We were put in contact with a Alu-Cab distributor, Selkirk Off Road (near Sandpoint, ID) to do the warranty fix. We also had them install the awning, as well as the awning gutter and awning strap attachment. Joe from Selkirk Off Road was great to work with, and if you happen to be there on a late Friday afternoon you just might find some amazing smoked bbq!!

So things are good and we will keep figuring out the build. We have basically everything we need…..just not in any good organization/long term usability.

Next up:
