    Well we went camping from Fri. morning to today, Sun. afternoon. We left town and started to the mountain, things are good. Got into the rolling hills outside of town and started getting a little coolant coming in around a bolt on the floor board. ( I think I have a cracked head at the back...

    That is why it is a hobby though, right zout? I still need to build a skid plate under the drain tank and a few other things. I will be testing it out this upcoming weekend so I will post some pics of the trip to let you know how it turns out. I have now named it HaRVey. The "H" for the first...

    The grey water tank is all plumbed in now and works great. M109guy thanks for turning me on to this tank, it worked out real well. You are the one that inspired this whole build. The first two pics show the plumbing out of the floor and the third shows I used the factory holes in the frame of...

    Yes that is a great idea but I don't like to do things that easy. Besides if I didn't have this headache I would be lost.aua

    Here are some more of my pics from the waste tank install. Pic one is one of the hangers with some weatherstrip to keep the rubbing down to a minimum. Pic two shows one of the hangers in the back where it bolts to the cross member just forward of the tank. I used the factory holes in the cross...

    Ok now I have the grey water tank installed but have to do the plumbing yet. The first picture shows a 1X4 I used as a anti-rub for the bottom of the unit and the top of the tank. Second I used a piece of shower surround I had left over and some plastic cement, then used some screws and some...

    Now I got my furnace in. It is a gravity furnace from an old camper in the junk yard here in town. I had to get a new safety valve for it which proved to be almost impossible. It seems all you can get for safety valves anymore require a transformer and so on so I ended up getting a valve for a...

    Ok this weekend I got the water tanks half plumbed and I got the bed frame built. The bed is the size of a standard full bed. I needed a bigger bed set up as I have four little ones. It is a little tight but as long as the kids stay up against the wall we will be just hunky dory.[thumbzup] I...

    I eliminated my fan. I closed the vent off so I could install the shower in that area.

    Either some of the water resistant wall board or some sort of paneling to give a backing to attach the shower liner to. Yes I know the dry wall may not stay in rough terrain. I am still in the thinkin' stage on this part.

    I got all the lights working and the shower is framed in. Next is to get the water tanks installed and bed frames made so I know what I will do with the water lines, before I can dry wall and install the shower lining. I am putting the water tanks under the bed. They are both 30 gal. marine tanks.

    Thanks, I am hoping it all turns out. I just need functional and not much more. I even chose not to do a toilet just for simplicity. I mean hey... A bear craps in the woods right? What's good enough for a bear is good enough for me to bare.rofl

    Don't tell anybody but I sewed them up myself:oops:. I was some extra material I had from a project I did earlier. In fact I redid the seats in the cab with that material, and then I used some cotton rope and some ring terminals from the wiring section at the local hardware store, then used the...

    Ok I now have the 12V lights working and have the breaker box all wired. All I need to do is get a couple of breakers and away we go. I only installed two outlets, mostly because I am not going to use a TV or anything. I may use a microwave once in a while but no need for a massive amount of...

    I bought the kit from Wolverine Technologies I bought the 24V and 12V add on kit they have. It is really simple to do and the 24V uses the original belt and the 12V uses a belt that is included in the kit. Check out their site at wolverinetechnologies.com

    12v The only problem I have is the 109 I have was a Forest Service command unit after it's Military life, so all the wires were cut and so on. I can't seem to get all the screws out to expose the old wiring channel either. I wanted to run external wiring in a conduit anyway for ease of adding...
