For any one still interested in this thread I have been hard at work on the camper. Getting ready for the Rausch Creek Rally. I have a bunch of pics to post and I want to explain them as I go, so I will put on a few posts for this. 1. I finished the step fill in. Pics will explain. I...

We plan on getting there Friday morning/ afternoon. Only going riding Saturday and leaving Sunday morning, per wifie. I still plan on bringing plenty of water, but I need to unload the 55 gal before we ride Saturday. So if some guys have smaller water containers I will be more than happy to...

That deck is way too big. I'll be happy with my little pad. My veterans rally trip to Kokomo Indiana was great. We did the tent thing because the camper wasn't ready for a trip like that, 700 miles one way. I realized the amount of water for showers was going to be a lot more than I thought...

I just put a new wheel cylinder on this weekend. All the tools needed are fresh in my head and I made a list. I' have the list of tools there with me plus plenty extra. How are the meals going. Every man for himself, or are we doing group meals? I can bring a case or two of hamburger...

I was just trying to figure out how many pounds of empty beer cans I need to pay for this trip. The web site didn't mention cost of camping. Lucky for me, two of the four, are under 16. The way I figure it it is going to be about $150 for the three days For me and the wife. The kids age 8...

Great ideas 59. Always looks good and simplistic. Mechanical over electric and hydraulic makes for less problems.

I can bring rigging chains and tow straps. I can also bring plenty of fire wood and a big 55 gal. tank for drinking water. A few cases of beer may fall into the back of the camper. If you guys need me to bring anything in particular, let me know.

I'll be there. Planning on Friday morning/ noon to late Sunday. Will be nice to try out the Camper off road. I'll have wife and two kids at the least.

Haven't had time to post much or work on the deuce. I had a few hours this am before work though. I was informed the tailgate/deck needed to be wider and the top step had to be fixed. All requests per wifey and daughter. So like any tough man of the house, I grumbled and started thinking it out...

The wife put the second coat of polyurethane. It looks great. I hope to get some things done this weekend but my back is giving me some problems again. We'll see. What the next few days brings.

After a bit of thinking about it, I beleive I will go with the generator option. I would like to get the solar and alternator down the line but the generator would be used the most for now. I won't have to worry about cloudy days or if boon docking, I can run a honda 3000 much cheaper than...

59 Are you saying that I should have two inverters. Northern Tool sells the pure sine inverters. 1800 watt continuous with 4000 surge as the biggest they have. The electrical stuff I need to learn a lot more about. AC to DC. If you sugest a 100A alternator then I would thnk a little bigger...

Got back from the maden voyage yesterday. All in all it was a great time. The air conditioner worked great and the truck kept the rain off. We had quite a few compliments and lots of questions. I'll post some pics when the camera is charged. There are a few things I need to adjust. 1...

Thanks for the compliments. I put in the cab through window for this weekends camping trip. I got the final on the temp thing. I stole the wife's oven thermometer. Outside roof temp was 153 degrees. Inside stayed at around 80, with the kids going in and out. Not bad, not bad at all. I...

I re-did the temp test today. The inside temp was 78-80. The outside roof temp was over 130. The thermometer oly went up to 120 and the alcohol was spiked up past that. Not too bad if you ask me.

Haven't got the weight yet. Plan on going camping this weekend. Maden voyage. No refridgerator, but will have ac and a light. I put the counter top back in and the panneling. I had the kids, with supervision, herculine the steps. I also put in the new sky light. I love it. Lets in a lot...

Rayzer, is it paint? I want to keep the wood look. Just want to seal it. Does behr have clear wood sealer? Remember I want the cabin feel.

Just looked at peashooters build. He did a great job. Mine will be a bit rougher inside. Good enouph for me:D. Finsished the sanding today. It was at 104 heat index with no ac. I took it out so it didn't get pluged up with saw dust. I need to put a stain or sealant on the inside panneling. I...

All the powder coating things came back on Tuesday. I put the stairs in first, then the airconditioner. Outside temp was mid 90"s. Inside temp was mid 70's. All the panneling was put back in. I had to take the airconditioner back out this morning because I started sanding the panneling. I...

Thanks 4x4 The sharing is the fun part. Thought I would show some new pics. I tool some time off the build, a week or two ago, to unwind with the family. I do have some new pics of the build, but the fun stuff first.
