I have to say UncleMikey the rigs you've built, and the ones you've posted photos of, are some of the most inspiring rigs I've seen. Your "Camper Apocalypse" (?) was one of the ones that I stared at many times before starting on the "She Beast". Thank you for the rigs and trailers you've...

No pictures of that I'm guessing :-/ I'm not that concerned w/ moving it in and out of the bed, it would prob stay there. I'm way more likely to Dragg a trailer around ;) Dawg, I'd hate to drink any of the beer from that container!

Why sideways?

To Blendmaster - I'm not crazy about how they are built, and I would prefer something that I can do the interior build-in myself. I've spent way too many years living in my rigs too be happy w/ how a camper is built. :)

Has anyone put an S250 (or something like it) behind the cab to act like a sleeper? It would still give somewhere around 4' of bed space behind it. Been thinking about this for a while now, wondering if it would work well . . . or maybe some other shelter would fit better. I don't always...

Thanks, I had those printed out and could not remember where I got them from, . . . thought that I was going to have to save them as "rare" ;)

That's the guy in Canada, M109guy. So Zout's info has been lost to us for awhile and now M109guys site is down, . . . are we going into the dark ages?

Hose clamp ? :)

I can add more to this :) The She Beast would do that between 30 - 35mph, then we changed the rims (to mod'd Hemmts) and tires (to 395's) which of course changes the speed-O to read slow by 15%. Now she does that bounce thing between 30 - 35mph on the speed-O, even though the ground speed is...

Lights It was time to finely get some lights that weren't AA powered, magnetic, lights. Now that we had a solar panel & good charge controller it was time to start wiring some of the lights that we'd been packing around, . . . just waiting for mounting surfaces to get built and a good...

Thanks for the appreciation. Getting it changed over was pretty easy out here. We started w/ just reg'ing it as "Historic", then I spent some time trying to track down a list of "what is required" to be an RV. After a few failed attempts at getting some real list I made my own. I figured if we...

I've found the easiest for me is to have a tank (we use one that's about 250 gal) setting on it's side (on a frame up off the ground) w/ a slight incline. The low end has a drain (I use a ball valve) at it's lowest point. About 6" up from that I have another drain & valve. The tank is painted...

It will prob be in the Stoddard valley area, north of Lucerne valley & Victorville, and the weekend of the 13th would be oct

It's the stock mounting, and yes it flexes pretty good. That's why we had to move the cab-over rack up higher, we were denting in the corners of the hard top. Now we have about 4" clearance on the corners, . . . and someday I'll do something about those dents :| Here's another one w/ her...

Been on our summer "road trip" (maybe I'll start a thread on that ;) ) and not really had time to update the build. Here's some more of what was done, The fridge in it's final, non-insulated floor, state. To make up for some of the space that we lost upgrading to the fridge I started our...

It does work and has been done before. I have not blocked any air flow, that's what the "channel" is about. It allows air to get to all the intakes, and the exit blows toward us. If the "intake" is not getting enough air, we can use the case fan to push air to the intake (kind of like a turbo...

59, I understand and agree. I'm just adding to the insulation by making an insulated space that it slides into. As far as the air flow, they are made so that the air flow exits on the side that the lid opens on. Right, it blows into the rig. They require 4" "behind", between the wall of the...

Thanks, but we are just getting to the part of the build where I can start doing the little fancy stuff. She'll now start showing her real style ;)

Zout, must say that's quite a complement coming from you. I do remember the days when there was a build thread by someone that was building on TWO at the same time, a very impressive thread! Then the holocaust happened and much inspiration and knowledge was lost to us. Those that read every post...

Yesterday while working in the truck I noted this, I have the unit set at 50deg, which means it cools down to 47deg and waits till 52deg to start again. The inside temp was reading 105. It would run for about 7 mins to reach the low of 47deg, it then took about 25 mins to warm 5degs and would...
