Your rig is looking great ! I do have a question though. How did you support the cab overhang ? I didn't see your build on this camper unit so I was trying to figure out what you used. I plan to try something like this myself. Yours is right up there with the best of them !

The over head bunk is the original camper framing.
There are two 1x4s that carry the load along with the shear of the plywood.
You can see them in the picture below
Deut 21
18 “If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and who, when they have chastened him, will not heed them,
19 “then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city, to the gate of his city.
20 “And they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’
21 “Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall put away the evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear.
(I'm so glad we are under grace and not the law, Aren't you?)

OK I see it now. I thought you had reinforced it somehow.
About your comments section, Yes I'm glad we are under Grace ! One of my favorite verses is Romans 8:1 . I like the idea of "No condemnation" .

I did. I replaced the outside aluminum skin with 1/2 exterior plywood. That's a lot more shear.

It was the same back then. Under the law everyone at some point does something that would get them killed.
It was to show that without a savior all you can look forward to is death.
Than, would the savior invalidate the application of all punishmets that comes from the related law?
Law being instructions of God who made the life, almost like it says to put hand brake on when you park on a hill in TM, and the person doesnt, lets say we save him from the rage of angry family whose kid got crushed by his actions, but how are we going to save the kid who got killed from the consequence of disobedience of other?
Whould that not corrupt the society?

Yes it would and as we see in our own society it has.
The point is if we are honest with our self's we have all done things that have had helped the decline along.
In Gods eyes we all done things that deserve death. But because of what Jesus Did dying in our place we can have eternal life.
But that does not mean that we should not be punished in the hear and now.
If I murder someone I can repent, Trust in Jesus for forgiveness and still have eternal life.
But the state still has the right and the obligation to take mine for punishment here on earth.

Time to replace two tires. Might have gone a little to long but they are hard to get here in Eugene.

Wife says her seat is to hard.
So I cut down the bottom cushion from a f150.
Had to take four inches off the length.

Good job on that seat cushion ! Is it mounted on a "springer" base ?

Trimmed the front corners of the over head bunk. Have been using bed frames for the steel.
Can get them for next to nothing and they are tempered steel.
I need to get the plywood sanded and painted. Where it was sprayed with spray paint the wood is in good condition. Where it is just the latex paint the plywood is starting to check quite badly.
Titus 2
3 That the aged women in like manner, be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things:
4 That they instruct the young women to be wise, to love their husbands,
5 to love their chidren, Discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

I first found out that bed frames are hardened steel when I was 12 and building my first "Go-Kart". My father had some military surplus bed frames and told me I could use them for the frame of the Kart. I quickly found out a normal drill bit would not go through this stuff without plenty of cutting fluid and a real slow speed. It took days to drill that frame out !

Also a short clip of the roof top air running off the power inverter. This clip is part of video above.
