Really apreciate the offer but already have th froth pacs in the garage. just waiting to finish with the weldin on the box before I spray. Plus a trip to Florida would end up costing a lot since I would also have to go to bike week in Daytona. Wife already said no to that.:-( HA HA

It looks like a great idea, but I wonder about the cost. The spray foam I bought (Dow Froth pac 620 system) cost me about $1300. To have it installed by an insulation company would have run me about $3000 to $4000. I think the second roof idea might be a lot cheaper.

Both ideas sound like good ones. I do plan on putting the pannels on but like you said the $$$ needs to be there.

59apache, Just look through your thread. I must say you have done a great job with your camper conversion. Excellent metal working skills. Would love to have a some of your shop equipment. Keep up the good work.:beer:

Well loaded the ac unit in and ran the extension cord through the hole I cut in for the toilet plumbing. I pluged the opening around the ac unit with rags, nothing fancy, and I had the box shut up, windows and roof vent shut and holes for water heater vent and hole for plumbing covered with...

Well here are a few pics of the air conditioner rack I am making. Like I talked about before, The air is seasonal so it will come out in fall and back in during spring. But I still need a tough rack to holp up during the off roading. This aint no winnebago, so 2*2*1/8" angle was the way to...

Thanks for the compliment. Hopefully more pics this week or weekend.

Good Idea about the roof being double walled but too much work right now. If I find that the ac unit isn't quite big enouph I might go woth a white herculiner roof. but I have tons of work till then.

Here are the pics of the vent cover. The idea was to put something in that would keep the wind out of the vent pipe on windy days and to keep the weather out like snow and rain. Once the inside wall is done ( insulation and panneling), I will tack weld the 90 degree elbow in place. I am just...

Well got back to work yesterday. Got back from Ocean city Maryland. Did some tent camping in the 90 degree temp. So needless to say I started on the Air conditioner frame. As I stated before, I will be putting a window 8000btu unit in. I cut out the hole and framed it fwith 2*2*1/8" flat...

Great info guys. Sorry for the delay in responding. I bit of bad news for me, realised that the Sept deadline is just not going to happen. To much work that still needs to be done. Would have been nice for the veterans gathering. I decided to take a week or two to spend with the kids...

Thanks for the links bush. I'll check them out tonight. I just got the plates all welded up. I have to weld 6 more on the cab over part and four mor on the front panels. I have the plates cut but I ran out of the weld through primer so I need another can to finish the last ten plates. I...

Well got home from work tonight at 1200 midnight. Changed into work close quick and got out to the deuce. I was able to weld a bunch of the plates on the inside. plates are mounting points for the studes. Studs are going to be used more as a spacer but they will also be the area that the...

Just got some more done. I installed the water fill. I went with the two fill type. One side uses a spout to fill the tanks and the other is if there is a water hook up for constant water. I also decided to change out the roof vent/cap. The new one will have plexiglass to allow light in...

I was thinking the same thing. I thought about white or grey herculiner for the roof. I will probably paint it camo and see if it is too hot. Then I might go with the white. I an putting a lot of faith in the insulation.

To tell you the truth this question has consumed a lot of my time. I was going to buy a actual rv fridge but the $1400 is a bit much. I am looking at a 6 to 7 cubic foot fridge made fro apts from boscovs. They sell them for around $300. Uses more electric but cost of the other is too much...

I actually have planned to use a awning/ water collection system. When of grid camping I plan on having the rain water drain into a container then pump it onto the roof. Also planning to have solar water heater. That is why I used 1*1 square tubing to stud out the bathroom. extra bracing for...

Just got the third and final window in. It is positioned by the dinnete set. Still have roof vent/ escape hatch and the bathroom vent. Going to try to get more of the waste water tanks rack done. Yesterday and today weren't rainy so that is why i jumped on the third window. I needed two...

Just tried again to up load the pics. It came through. I hope to get the third window in on Saturday morning and get the holding tank rack done this weekend also. Thanks for the info Ferro.

Mike, it is just going to drain straight out. I will put a garden hose attachment for the grey water. I've seen the toilet tank cleaner wands for cleaning out the brown water tanks. It will be a straight drop for the toilet into the tank so droping down thw wip wand to clean out the tank...
