I started with Photoshop to see how it would look. Then measure a lot. pay attention to clearance for the overhead. I had to set my camper on top of 4x6s to clear. But this gave me room for the water tanks. I don't know about your truck but the deuce has a lot of frame flex. If it is going to be...

The roof has started sagging under the a/c unit. Half of the a/c is on new strong roof framing and half on the original camper framing. The camper framing ends at the wall with the circuit beaker box. I glued up a oak beam with a good crown in it. Ran it across from the bathroom wall to the...

Tested the house battery's and they were down to 50%. I checked the output from the charger inverter. It was 9 volts. Pulled the inverter out and looked through the vents and saw this. I cut an access hole and soldered the wire back on. No change still 9 volts coming out. The truck also has a...

Finished paint touch up. And installed the cover I made. My frig is freezing on 110 volts so that's the next project. I want to repair it because I like having the vintage stuff. If any of you happen to have a wiring diagram for a Dometic RM 45 frig please let me know.

Time has been hard on the paint and the counter top. I calked the counter and started touching up the pealing paint Also started a access cover for the shower faucet. More to come.

I use to filter it through a 5 micron shock filter then into a barrel to be pumped through a filter and a water blocker. I now just dump it in a barrel and pump it through a water separating fuel filter. I save the used ones off my truck and run them until they plug up. (I have change of course...

The in tank fuel pump went out. This is what you will find in you tank after four years of daily driving running 100% used oils for fuel. It's a silky sludge that with just a little help went right through the drain hole.

Cut one of the old tires in half, was curious of how they were built. Mounted four more tires with good tread. Years ago I bought this 3/4 drive electric impact. I keep it in the truck. A lot easier to plug it into the power inverter than wait for the air tanks to pump up. And then there...

This is the part no. BEU-228L-100 12V, GREY Pop it in google. The main thing you are looking for is size. most are to deep as the deuce has a sallow dash. Controls on unit would be nice also.

Also bought 4 new tires off e bay. They were not as hard to dismount as I expected. I used a shiny new tire hammer. No tire cage as we are not a tire shop so I chained them up.

The under hood evaporator did not work. It would blow nice and cold when idling but when the engine started working the poor thing was overwhelmed by the under hood temperatures. So I bought a under dash unit off e bay for $99 dollars and it works great. It was a little to long so I had to notch...

Installed the replacement AC compressor and vacuumed down the system. Charged with 2.75 lb r134a and the air got real cold. The real test will be the drive home. I don't know if the blower can move enough volume through the stock heater ducting. Also I realized I have no means for...

Went to charge system and 1 minute in SQUEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL. No ride home in nice cool air. The idler bearing locked up on the reman compressor. A/c will have to wait till next week.

Built a lightweight bracket system for the AC compressor out of 1 1/8 bar stock. Its strong because it makes a triangle off of the alternator adjuster. It has zero flex and is easy to adjust the belt tension. Note the white dots on the AC belt. It helped me keep track of which was which while...

Test fit the compressor to make sure it will work in the space. I picked a single v pully unit so the alt and water pump will still have enough belt wrap not to slip. I did some research and found that some were having a problem with belts slipping. Worked on the condenser lines.

Had to replace a couple more tires. My supply of tires is dwindling fast. Looks like a lot but I drive it every day and it really eats tires.

I will if it works as planed.

Mounted the condenser today. I got lucky or God was looking out for me. The condenser is the same with as the radiator so I was able to screw it right to the radiator sides. The radiator slopes and the bottom is closer to the brush guard. So I cut the cross bar loose and welded it in pulled a...

Made bracket for accumulator, Added pag oil and installed in truck. Also installed a valve in heater hose. At some point I will have to deal with the top of the evaporator box being uneven. It bothers me. Wished I had noticed when I screwed it on.

Started my AC install today by modifying the heater box to take an evaporator. Have a complete AC set for an 1985 full size chevy blazer.
