With daily diligence on the computer I was able to purchase everything for the interior in the pics for under $700. That includes the a/c too!
Solar panels have been purchased, but I have not figured out how to mount them to the roof yet.Nice. Are you planning on having a power supply like batteries or gen for the back?
I just used small hinges to mount my panels, as long as it is snug, you won't have any issues. I put my gen where the spare goes, plan to upgrade the tires eventually and figured the larger spare wouldn't fit there anyway. Just built a box around it.Solar panels have been purchased, but I have not figured out how to mount them to the roof yet.
Generator is going on the 105 trailer.
In keeping with the budget theme, drill a hole in one of the side walls and epoxy a large funnel in the hole angled downward. Viola, instant urinal! LOL
To be honest, the a/c was easier than I thought it would be. I lost sleep over cutting perfectly good metal out of the roof, but once I commited and started cutting it went quickly. The air duct hole was the same size as a standard rv skylight (14 1/ square hole. I decided on mounting between the roof supports off to one side.... the ac unit is not centered on the roof, but I did not have much of a choice since the control panel inside would have been up against the bunk beds and after I painted the roof unit I barely notice it anymore and I don't notice it at all inside the box with the ac blowing wide open. Once the ceiling hole was cut and insulation removed, I simply cheated by using a pencil to trace the roof hole outline using the newly cut ceiling hole as a guide for my pencil.Very cool! i just got an M109 and plan to turn it into a camper as well. I like the simplicity of yours and i want to keep my simple too. i was going to ask you about the roof air conditioner i really like that idea, was it hard to mount in there? and also what did you do to power everything. Did you use the existing hardware and outside plug? Great job!! i'll be posting pics of mine as soon as school is out and i have the time to get working on it!
Nice and simpel have fun with it. I too was wondering about the roof AC. Easy install and you like the choise over a window unit in the side of the box? Oddball was talking boxing in the frame work up there to keep it stiff. Did you box or stay between the supports?
