Dang! Looks like a rolling hotel! Pretty cool!
I've been trying to figure how I'm going to mine. Your photos really help me visualize what I can do! Thanks!

I will try to get some more pics of the bunks. My girlfriend is going to kill me if I ask her to load more pics. She already thinks we all need help.

I am going to put bunks in and a work/ kitchen table as well as a few cabinets like you have there. I would like it to sleep at least four so I am toying with the interior layout. I did like the one that was in the Utah thread
Where is the head???? Don't tell me the woods!! I was thinking of a couch that converts into a bunk arrangement. The back flips up into the top bunk. I have friends who use that idea in smaller boats. That way you have lots more room until you need the beds. I already have a dual bench seat/table from one of my boats. It also converts into a bed. I hope to pick-up my 109 in a couple of weeks from GL.
Thanks for the pics.

Are you putting in a stove/oven? I have one that i took out of a 1969 chevy truck/camper. It looks like it was never used.

I'm actually trying to figure how I can make mine a combination communications/CP van, with fold-down bunks and/or storage. They wouldn't be full-sized beds, though. More army cot width. But I'd still like to be able to put 4 people in it for sleeping. Any ideas on a fold down arrangement would be appreciated!

No pink paint! That is a old can with screws in it. OLD CHEV4x4 Yes I am looking for a stove - oven combo to go in the one cabinet. Yes that is a 72 4x4 chevy parts truck. My other 72 chevy pick up and blazer are both in the body shop.

Wow you are working fast on this one it was the funny color camo before. Are you looking for a camper stove that runs on LP? I think finding an old camper would be a good start for one

It’s nice to see someone upgrading their M109.
I’ve gotten stalled because of $$ and the lack of a job, but I am planning to do a renovation on mine so that I can pull stuff out and have it completely open. What I am planning to do is pull off all the interior paneling and finding out where the hard points in the walls are and adding strength what I need it. I plan to imbed heavy duty shelf tracks and then repanel between them. Then I will build modules that will fit in the tracks and lock.
