Default Not another M109 camper conversion

Well here it is yet another camper conversion. I started with an M35A2 which I bought about 8 years ago from Eastern Surplus. About 6 years ago I bought the 109 shelter for the back, ( Idahomotorpool.com) which was a long drive. I am now working on doing the full modification after about 5 years of just carpeting and a couch in the back. Plans are to use 2 water tanks for a boat that I got very cheap and a shower, a large bunk bed and an RV furnace, range, and sink. Then a tankless LPG hot water heater and power inverter are also in the works. I got a 70 gallon propane tank from pickup to mount on my generator trailer and so on . Here are a few pics of what it is now. More to follow so stay tuned.

I forgot to mention that I added a hardtop this past weekend. It had a small dent in it but came out pretty well, but hey what can you say for 100 smackers.

Copy away, some of my ideas were taken from what I have seen and some are my sick, twisted, ways.

I tinkered a bit this past weekend off and on, I bought a new remote brake reservoir from a speed shop for 30 bucks and it is all aluminum, I like it better than the plastic for the durability, I got my tires from Alfa Heaven last week, I am going with 11.00 X 20. When I get to doing the brakes and tires this weekend I will get some more pics.

Ok I got a little more done over the last couple of days. Here are a few pics. The only thing I didn't get pics of yet are the tires. I put some 11.00 X 20's on it. Still have the front tires to mount up. I also put new wheel cylinders in and got the bearings repacked. I put a new alternator from Wolverine Tech on and also did a 12 volt add on for the camper conversion. The top is one I bought for 100 smackers, not bad... It needed new mud flaps so I fabbed up a couple out of some 16 ga. I had laying around.
