TY Fleebay, Yesterday, I recieved my propane regulator with a longer hose and level indicator because the first one I bought was too short-

Today will spend a few hours working on the shower walls..if anyone knows of a cheaper pistol grip shower head, something that you can start and stop water flow at the nozzle, let me know.

I found one on nozamA. 10 bucks free shipping prime

You probably know this.... but just in case. make sure to vent that LP box. Low as possible.... LP is heavier than air. Venting LP compartment is vehicle code as well anyway. (so is not allowing any air/gas transfer to living space but you have that covered)

Some more progress

Started the upper storage cabinet. Using 1/4 20 rivnuts to mount to wall and ceiling. All wood studs are 2×4 ripped and plained down to 1 1\16 by 2 1/2



Been awhile since she fired up..cold started this morning at 37f..fired right up although I had to pull 1 relay..k52 ctis overspeed. It disabled the masterswitch

Repurposed a ecs box I picked up..the other day..not sure what for but it will be used


Today will be mounting solar panels





hopefully getting doors and walls on the cabinets

Pics forthcoming

Worked on the sink drain


Finished up propane tank holder

 

[M1078MAN]

Most important progress..a place to @#$%


This will sit on the shower pan. It will be polyurethaned. Should be water resistant. Its screwed, glued and tattoed

There will be drain holes drilled to allow water from shower to pass through

And the finished product..perfect s hitting height




Time for some heat

Looking for some help..Here is what I have

Trans shifts hard 1st to 2nd then hangs in 2nd I think a bit long to third, no codes yet..Drove it to the gas station to tank up.

Could battery disconnected cause short term relearn for trans.. Or do I have another problem?

I have visually checked the common connector problems-everything looks good. NOTE: When I first got it, I found the TPESS connector at the base of shifter was partially disconnected, that solved all my problems then, but now I have a new problem, I think

Any suggestions are certianly welcomed

With C19-Va DMV is online appointment only.. And they are way out in Jan..So going to run with Temp "Tags Applied For" and if I have any problems, will have all the paperwork showing the appointment in Jan.

If you happen to live in Va with a LMTV, and wouldnt mind sharing some of the coding from your registration, that way, when I fill out the appplication it matches on file vehicles or if you have any pointers, drop me a PM..Going to get it inspected, probably will register as a RV.
