Yep, 100% need to do this over time. I tightened mine up after noticing the habitat was swaying a bit more than normal. Just routine maintenance in my opinion but great awareness education by the Globe Trekker Team. Yes, that cabover spotlight F550 is my rig.
Yes indeed... inspection of hardware for anything that is loosening up over time is a good practice. And, it's better than having to carry around a tube of caulk and drilling weep holes when their plastic pultrusion cracks and start leaking like in other company's products. Preventative maintenance is the key to promote a long lasting lifespan for any product.
Nice presentation, fellas.
Much appreciated!

Contact me via the website and I can walk you through options.
Couple questions: 1. How high above the truck frame is the top of the sub frame? 2. Are wheel wells above the tires typically required? Seems like most of the builds I’ve seen on your channel are so high up wheel wells aren’t necessary, but I’m concerned about the overall height of the camper. 3. Can you subframe be set up for the door to be below the subframe? (Internal steps) thanks, love your product!
The Zero Torsion subframe is 7.49" tall to accommodate a 15 degree left and right twist for a full 30 degree range of travel. Wheel well are typically not required. I.e. the F550 at bump stop still has 1.75" of tire clearance with 40" tall tires.
You can cut part of the side of the subframe out and fabricate a step-down inside the camper... for us, inside space is a premium, so why take it up with a step down. That is why we designed the access stairs system with three height sizes. Gotcha covered.
I'm not following how these point don't prevent the other points from pivoting. I saw the video where the back wheel was up high but you didn't show how it all works together to keep the subframe flat if that's what it was doing. You need to show and explain it in a through simple way.
I had to make a this setup in Legos to understand how it works. It worked perfectly. When I twisted the Lego truck frame, the subframe pivoted but didn't twist. 3 or 4 link worked fine
@@nathanmeyer3855 great, video it and link me to it. I don't have Legos or a kid but I would like to see this as well as have it explained in detail.
I just released a subframe video last week on how the subframe parts go together. I am about to drop a huge knowledge guide so you can better understand what type of subframe you want, and why. It will be out in a day or two.
This is not a new concept by any means. This has been a "thing" for decades now, and is widely used in the UNIMOG trucks because their frames are sooo flexible. Flexible frames mean all tires can stay in contact with the ground and hold traction. It's a good, good thing.
@@trentblaine1768 I'm sure it's proven, I'm just not getting the 4 point idea. I'll call Dave sometime I get enough free time. My confusion is, the 2 mid points allow the box to tilt fore and aft, got it, but then you bolt down the fore and aft ends so it can roll left and right, didn't that just stop all the fore and aft tilting? And doesn't the mid point brackets stop the left, right roll now?
