.... 11 pics.... Hopefully these pics will get inserted properly

Pics came our great. looks like you got some gems in the removal to have fun with. Is that a DC powered Elec. motor and compressor?

Looking forward to pics of the dolly your friend made up for you for install and removal of the box

Great build. Thank you for documenting all this along the way as I will be doing a S-280 build soon.

Hey there - Great build! A cautionary note on those batteries though - they off gas and need venting to exterior - Hydrogen Sulfide gas if I remember correctly.

A year or so back I bought a bunch of RV tanks,fitiings, toilet, heater, water heater etc from a local RV'er - hoping to do a similar build someday soon.

Take care and build on! - More pics!!

Hey Coach Geo. Yes it was a DC Powered Electric motor with compressor. There was a 120V plug-in heater that i took out of there too. They all work too

Thank you SteelWarrior. Yes indeed. They do gas off H2S. I have drilled a hole through the battery box and connected through another hole through the shelter. They are all sealed and gas off to the outside. I have measure the H2S levels in the battery box, and it does indeed gas off. I did that before i installed the batteries.
