Hah!! My LMTV is why I Ieft Hagerty. I went the full disclosure route (didn't want any problems if I ever had a claim), telling them up front I wanted to shake it down as-is before converting it to an RV. They flat out denied me ANY coverage. I was explicitly clear that it wasn't modified in...

Progressive, as a commercial vehicle for personal use. All it took was finding a motivated enough agent to actually want to help me. The chassis is insured presently, and when I am ready to use the camper for real, I will insure that as a separate item, like a utility bed setup. Based in...

Just ordered the batteries shown above. Will have 3 of them for 600Ah @24v. Specs off of the vendor's site: https://signaturesolar.com/content/documents/EG4/EG4-LL%2024v%20Spec%20Sheet%20%281%29.pdf $1525/each upon adding them to my cart, $100 flat shipping fee w/8 day transit TX to OR...

I'm in the same boat, although more by design than constraints. I reserved a space for all my mechanicals/electricals/HVAC stuff and the rack system will compliment it nicely. These specific ones were recommended by a local solar guy who I have been consulting with and who will be helping with...

Was thinking about three of these: https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-ll-lithium-battery-24v-200ah/?setCurrencyId=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyracBhDoARIsACGFcS53sHttn46QFK4X4T9DopctU1-j5Tq6dXbDmVzccWPBLbAdIyz9k-8aAruAEALw_wcB To go with the 1800W of solar panels which I forgot to mention that showed up...

Been working on some pretty non-glamorous tasks, like spraying the interior with Lizard Skin insulation spray and fitting out the remainder of the insulation in the floor- i.e., more work with minimal visible progress. I have started to run the PEX for plumbing and hydronic systems, as well as...

That's why I surf and post on this forum. If you see anything that helps you in any manner, feel free to copy away! If you have any questions, feel free to ask as well.

Long time coming, finally..... 3 days up by Mt Hood, everything went perfectly, layout seems to work and flow very well with plenty of space to function. Well worth the effort. More pics and impressions shortly, off to unpack, strip out the interior, and spray it all down so I can get on...

Using some scrap lumber, I mocked up the basic interior components- long counter on driver side, pedestal for the dinette and aft wall of bathroom on pass side. Also made a set of stairs to get up to bed. Forward looking aft: Aft looking forward: The dinette pedestal: Super quick and...

We're going on our trial excursion next week, so a bed is in order. We now have one!! Mattress in place: And I finally put the grille back in: There will be lots of disassembly once we're back, but putting the mattress in was a monumental leap forward. The vehicle has a purpose now.

Thanks everyone so far. One of the specific questions I have is with the potential flexing of things, how are people sealing up corner seams? Is there any special/recommended construction method to building them up? Am I overthinking this?

I am planning on a wet bath combination for shower and toilet. One of the things I have been struggling with is how to construct the actual space so that it remains water-tight even when expecting the camper body to flex to some degree. How are people building the walls and catch basin so that...

Front wall roughed in: Shelving on the right side: And the left: Center section of the left shelving is reinforced as it is right underneath the hatch and may inadvertently end up being used as a step. If we like the shelving layout after our little trip, I will rip it all out, seal the...

Up with the ceiling and on with the walls (and windows)! Thurs: Fri: Sat: So much nicer working on it with the windows open. It bodes well for when we'll be out camping in it and it's hot. Once all the framing and construction is complete, this will all be torn down, sealed, and...

Hi all- I am alive.... Have just had a distraction divert my attention for a few months. In 2016, I had an acquaintance enter the Portland Adult Soapbox Derby. His entry was a little scary, but he still managed a top 10 finish. I knew I could build something "better", but wasn't sure how...

That is absolutely part of the plan Chucky. It will have an appropriate heat source while underway as well as while on shore power/stored.

Understood. I knew there was something I was missing..... I may facilitate for it but I doubt I would really ever use it. My other campers had it... and I never used it. But I did think it was a good option to have available.

That was my way of saying a place to connect "city" water- water already under pressure so I won't need to run a pump if I want to run the water. It amounts to a spigot tapped into the pressure side of the house system with a flow check device to prevent backfill into the tank and out the...

Holy crap.... Everyone else is doing my homework for me! Thanks gents. Brandon is spot on with all his updates of what we did, and reading through, I think he answered all the questions (probably better than I could've). Truth be told, he did the heavy lifting Weds. I am still a bit buried...

Thanks Ronmar!! This has been added to my to do list.
