    My 1971 Am General m109a3 RV build

    I was thinking of taking all the panels off and putting in some better insulation in the form of panels. I think my box is in pretty good shape but I just got my vehicle a few months ago so I'm no expert. Spray foam would work for sure but if you ever have to remove it would be a pain.

    Got my new deuce!

    So I took a look into the gas tank today, didn't have time for much else. Was busy with a retaining wall I am building for our fire pit out back (we're on a slope over the water) to level the area a bit more than it currently is. That's been an ongoing project for a few weeks now and hopefully...

    Got my new deuce!

    Yes I was thinking about converting it over at some point but first gotta get her running and do several upgrades. Lots to work on this year! I'll get a shot of the fuel tank this weekend and check that out. I imagine if there is some in there I would need to drain it out and treat the diesel, I...

    Yes sir that's the second one I have on the list to check. Tactical repair on YouTube is a great resource for the how to, but this community really knows their stuff so much appreciate any advice I can get. Hope to have an update here in a short while.

    Got my new deuce!

    Ok took some pictures this morning while I had a few minutes. I didn't see anything except on the radiator area. Not sure what the white powder is exactly. I think he drained it earlier and it was pulled out while he was trying to work on it. I'll need to secure it as it was loose this morning...
