Meelis, I followed your build thread from the start and am thoroughly impressed with your plan & execution. I wish there was more discussion on constructing with aluminum.
Having some past experience with welding aluminum, I can say that your welder must have experience, talent, patience & precise welding equipment to weld all four sides of tubing that is that thin (2mm). Note that in the Livin'/Camp Lite video (min. 2:35) that they do not.
Can you tell us the thickness of your exterior aluminum?
Fred
tubing is 20x20x2 mm (0,79 " x0,79 " x0,079 ")
and "skin" is 1mm (0.039 ") anodized aluminium
