I am debating buying the Thetford door or one like that but then also will that work with the vent kit also. The Thetford door is alot of money

If you go my way you will need to do some fitting. If you go with theirs its a no-brainier .

Back to work on the bath. Reinstalled the side door with a inside support that has rev-nuts to hold the door frame. This is 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" steel tubing will be the inside wall tie point also. I try to have anything that I am building doing not less than 2 jobs. So we have a wall and the outside door all using the same screws.

In the photos you will see the rev-nut tool,rev-nut installed and then a quick chase with a tap and the door reinstalled. I will pull everything and seal things up tomorrow. More on the walls soon.

Sorry I missed the Expo. Maybe next year or at least that's the plan. Maybe I will be in the DIY area ???

A little more work on the bath. And got some more parts.



And after looking out the back door think I may keep the roll up door and build a porch ?

I am looking forward to your bath construction this time. After seeing your last truck bath wall construction, I also built my walls out of metal tubing. I am just about finished with my bath, so it will be interesting to see what you do with yours as well. I think I will be building the seating/bed out of the same square tubing and it can be a drop in solution. If I had to do it over again I would start with the bathroom like you are doing. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing it when I have time.

Allen,stop over any time !

 

[1951M1078]

Almost walls ?

Riv-nut's at roof and bolt through at floor into steel cross member.

Thanks for stopping by Allen.

Working on the water line system. Looks like it will work .

 

[1951M1078]

Walls are in and the side door is sealed and reinstalled.
All welded and bolted in.
What a PITA. I love 3M 5200 and hate it also.
The truck could leak , but it won't be the door. LOL

Bath window in a sealed.

Been thinking of cutting down the box on my truck ?I would loose about 3'6".
What do you think ?
If I cut it down it will fit in my front drive and not hang over the sidewalk.
I don't like it on the street.

IMHO.... Move spare tire and air cleaner and tuck your uncut box closer to cab. I don't know your box layout. but if you had a permanent higher bed in back with a garage below it... spare tire could sit on floor or stand vertically. Have seen the 939 air cleaner used. They are mounted low.... with a snorkel run up high.... consider a thin snorkel/air box (say 2" or 3" thick but foot or more wide (Keep same amount of air volume).

 

[1951M1078]

Let me think on that ? That's only 2' 4 1/4" and a lot of work. And I still need to cut the box,just less.
But a idea. Thanks.

IMHO you would not need to cut box.. nor add frame extension cause that short amount of hang over (one footish now) could just be triangulated downard... and building a triangulation (maybe spare tucks into it?) does not get into rear departure angles much... if at all.

 

[1951M1078]

Its more the driveway. I only have 24' to the start of the sidewalk. And I will lose 2' to be able to get around the back of the truck (for my Wife) and the garage and the rear of the truck. So I'm stuck with a total of 22' total length.

I know, get a longer driveway . LOL

 

[1951M1078]

Got the window installed. And it is also a exit ! Cool. Will make a inside screen so I can be full open and just not 1/2 open.

 

[1951M1078]

Go another set of seats to try. Will see how well they will work? Got them in black leather.At $100 for the pair is fair.

That AZ sun is wicked to fade those black leather seats white

 

[1951M1078]

A little black paint and its all good ? LOL

Cut down the new/old mounts and did some test fitting.
They look great and sit very well. Think this is going to work. May even put a set into my Semi ?



Still need to workout the seat base to seat frame mount ?
