My M146/future camper build.

[camoyj7]

Soon Ray. I keep forgetting to go get plates for it. I definitely need to see how it tracks and adjust if needed. I thinking on building a fold up stairs for the rear I just don't really know how I want to do it yet. Agazza I would look into get a axle from a semi trailer with air brakes. Having full air with spring brakes for parking would be the way to go. I still might do that in the future.

I got some paint on the trailer today. Still need to paint the top and a few other spots.

 

[RAYZER]

Looks great!! What paint did you use?
Are you using elastmatic coating on the roof?
I see you got the tag!

 

[camoyj7]

I used exterior latex paint I got from home depot. I might use herculiner bed liner on the roof cause I have a gallon left over.

When I got my m146 the ceiling had water damage, the roof seams were leaking,I tried caulking some of them but I still had some leaks.
Evenualy i bought 5 gal's of the good white elastmatic roof coating (from lowes)and applied 2 coats with a big roller (about 2 gal's), that was 3 years ago and still 0 leaks and white reflects heat.
Imo, that liner may be to brittle for a roof application and could cause unadheasion,just sayin, you wouldn't want that roof leaking on your your new beautiful camper interior!

Camoyj7, looks great, when can I bring mine by. Once it cools down in Phoenix, I want to get rid of the Tan and go with the camo paint. I went with Rayzars suggestion and did the white elastmatic (rubberized) coating and it does feel cooler inside and stops the leaks. I used 2 gallons from pplmotorhomes from Houston Texas. I have to get the new updated photos of my M146 posted to keep up with both Rayzer and you. Keep up the excellent work.

What he said. Have 4 on site and they all have had leaking roofs. Used that same coating and sealed.
As far as temp drop, when I had the ceiling out of the one I've been redoing, you could put your hand on the underside of the roof . . . not hot at all. Sam Franks was shocked when he was here. This was in the desert, full sun, summer time.

Ok it's settled I'll do the roof in the white elastmatic coating. It's leak free not but don't want to wait for one.

Nice job chuck - what else do you have planned.

 

[camoyj7]

I got to take it out for a ride today to see how it tracks behind the truck. Next stop Iola or bust!

 

[RAYZER]

Nice! Every thing good? Probably don't even know its back there!

 

[camoyj7]

Yeah it tows really nice. Just need to build folding stairs for the rear. Then start on the inside.

 

[agazza2]

Looking forward to seeing your design on the folding stairs for the rear.That would be a great idea instead of having to store the ladder.

 

[camoyj7]

I picked up a couple of boxes to mount under the M146. It will have plenty of clearance with the lift and 14-20's.

 

[agazza2]

Camoyj7 - These boxes are excellent for the M146. These are the same ones I used on my build. Are these the 60" or 84" long boxes. I ended narrowing mine so I would have room in the center for the black and grey water tanks. Are you going to build a frame to go around these so you can slide them in and bolt them down? I have a few pics on my thread on how I mounted mine. Looking forward to see how you mount yours. Keep up the excellent work.

Would like to know what came of this cause I have the same thing

If I'm not mistaken this rig was sold, the new owner brought it to the 2015 Georgia Rally.
Not recalling the new owners screen name.
