Great job....... keep it up.. i want to see it in person.....

Yes when we sleep, the tail gate goes up. It is a 3 door type of opening. People can not lock us in when we are sleeping. When we get out, we can get out with or without tailgate being down. However, it sould be easier with tailgate down.

Yes the tailgate goes up and everything closed. The two doors were made with intergrated tailgate.

Finally got the trailer painted but still need to do the interior and the air jack installation. It is about 50% done. I will also need to do some pre-wiring before plywood goes in.

Oh... no worry it is lock safe. People can not lock us in. There are locks inside and outside...

Ooops.... double post.... lag computer

I am trying to finish my http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?98064-M105a3-Sleeping-Corridor&highlight=lex before the meet.

To me popup is alot easier mechanically. It has two hinges and work just like a door opening upward. Lowering and raising would require 4 shocks or air jack. This setup only require one. Alot less mechanical issues like synching all foour shocks.

I use two heavy duty hinges on the back and 8 ton air jack to open. It should only open the top about 45 degrees.

Very nice... inspiring......

Thanks Low Tech. I have two gas shocks for the top pop up but still too heavy to open. So I got a 8 ton air jack (long Ram) and will be welding the brackets this weekend and it will be open by compressed air from the truck. So the opening and closing will be automatic using compressed air...

Just came back from camping for 3 days last weekend. Didnt turn on my generator for all three days. This picture was taken about 5 pm. 4 LED lights were turned on. Love those lights. You can see the propane tank sitting on a long box of batteries along with my ham radio antenna.

I want to stay with 12V as much as possible but I do have a 2000W inverter and a 3200W generator.

I do plan to install a 110V small AC unit from Home Depot. They are like $99 bucks. I already have a RV roof vent when I will mount on the side with a built in fan. 12V heater for winter camping.

I will be using reflective type radiate barrier for insulation. They are thin and works well. http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImages/300/cb/cb2a78f9-f9ab-47e0-acc9-3f9ad43fd845_300.jpg Here are two sneak peek pictures. The doors are done with lock both inside and outside. The second...

Thanks.. next project... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/trailers/98064-m105a3-sleeping-corridor.html#post1256245

Got this M105A2 from DUG and reconstruction begun a week ago. The goa for this project is to enable a place for sleeping only. As we all have friends and they want to go camping but no place to sleep except tent. So I made this for them. Goal: * Sleep 4 inside the box * Sleep 4 on top of...

Picture # 1: Diplaying 3 batteries with solar/Wind Charge Controller on top. You also see lower portion of the tank. Picture # 2: Is the bottom view of the dump load coils. I mouted two under the batteries for heat ventilation. FYI all shelves in the box for the batteries are vented. Picture...

Wow.. just two (2) 6V? Amazing..... I have 5 full size batteries from Costco (Group 4). I also got a charge controller that is capable of inputting wind mill power too.
