I've read some sketchy stuff about LMTV + lockers + ice. Might be worth researching if you plan on winter operations.

Yep, the days of just hosing it out after the beach will be over once I install the flooring/underlayment/heating. Good point on mold. I specifically designed my build with as much open space and airflow (accordion curtains vs doors, etc). Mold is a big issue down here in the South.

How is the vibration with those? I've only ridden passenger in an LMTV that had them and the vibration caused such a blur I couldn't distinguish objects. I know some who have installed them say it's not an issue. And some say it doesn't bother them. But most acknowledge they vibrate more...

Depends on the registration type. An company car or RV/mobile office, no (I know this to be fact, at least in the states I've dealt it). A large truck, quite possibly would fall under DOT.

Agreed. NOS has a cure date and an expiration date right on the package with the NSN. Ask about the date and packaging. The most current NOS I've seen expire 2023. They come individually packaged and if the seller claims they have no packaging, assume they were unpackaged to hide the dates...

It's why I wanted to go with vinyl. It's not like I'll be hosing it out like the good old days, but yeah...leaks, etc. I have hardwood floors in the house and have had water damage from a frozen pipe before. Makes the wood do interesting things. The vinyl certainly won't hold up as well...

"RV/Mobile office for my LLC in <insert_good_state_here>" Legal in all 50. Just sayin'

Looking at other builds that have custom bushing assemblies, I came across these. Not exact fit by any means, but there are a couple on here that with some minor mods could work in a pinch (especially as the thinner bushing)...

I guess it's not "Interlock". II's just a tongue-and-groove/slide-together flooring planks you see at Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot.

Another reason I'd like to lay it all down first and build over it is that I don't see how this innerlok (tongue-and-groove) stuff will stay down w/o being glued. One good logging trail and it's JINGA! Having some clamping force retaining (ie: the counter frame, dresser, shower wall, etc) will...

I have my flooring (four boxes left over from a project that I picked up cheap), my underlayment, and I'm dropping section of electric floor heating element under the center section. I've seen some builds where they lay the floor down in the entire hab and build over it, and some where they...

I wish I had known about these before I got so far into the project. Saw one at my buddy's house today as he was ripping plywood for hurricane covers. He had a piece of foam board on the centipede and burned thru a dozen cuts in no time. I'm still gonna get one.

At $200 per hour, they'll tell me anything I want them to...

I'm liking that idea. I don't expect to be on the roof a whole lot (most of my bikini watchig is actually done from the shade in the trailer). I have the bed ladder for the M1082 as well as a Lowes step ladder that stows under the trailer. But "one ladder to rule them all" might be the way to...

Yeah, I'll stain and clear coat all the natural finish stuff. All frame structures are getting sealed followed by gloss white Rustoleum then a coat of clear. The walls will also be gloss white with a clear coat. I'll be sure to link you the auction for the hand rails if they come off. I was...

Next job is to cut the access port and land the water heater. Then frame and hang my cabinets. I'll take Sept off to go fishin with it and if I'm happy with the layout, I'll gut it all and prep for paint/flooring.

Bed frame is rebuilt. Included access to get to tank, fittings, pump. Still waiting on the sliding door track that will cover the opening right of the tank (I have military footlockers that fit under the bed). Water tank has it's new home and ready to plumb. Pump enclosure is behind the tank...

Yeah. I track what your saying, I really do ( two CS degrees, retired IT, system admin for 12 years, web designer, help desk, and moderated untold tech forums). Or I can just hold discussions here and document the build on a platform more suited for that type of publication. I prefer the later...

Oh, I'll still be posting the discussion here. But it is hard to document/follow build threads with nested discussion.
