Been working on some pretty non-glamorous tasks, like spraying the interior with Lizard Skin insulation spray and fitting out the remainder of the insulation in the floor- i.e., more work with minimal visible progress. I have started to run the PEX for plumbing and hydronic systems, as well as...

That's why I surf and post on this forum. If you see anything that helps you in any manner, feel free to copy away! If you have any questions, feel free to ask as well.

Long time coming, finally..... 3 days up by Mt Hood, everything went perfectly, layout seems to work and flow very well with plenty of space to function. Well worth the effort. More pics and impressions shortly, off to unpack, strip out the interior, and spray it all down so I can get on...

Using some scrap lumber, I mocked up the basic interior components- long counter on driver side, pedestal for the dinette and aft wall of bathroom on pass side. Also made a set of stairs to get up to bed. Forward looking aft: Aft looking forward: The dinette pedestal: Super quick and...

We're going on our trial excursion next week, so a bed is in order. We now have one!! Mattress in place: And I finally put the grille back in: There will be lots of disassembly once we're back, but putting the mattress in was a monumental leap forward. The vehicle has a purpose now.

Thanks everyone so far. One of the specific questions I have is with the potential flexing of things, how are people sealing up corner seams? Is there any special/recommended construction method to building them up? Am I overthinking this?

I am planning on a wet bath combination for shower and toilet. One of the things I have been struggling with is how to construct the actual space so that it remains water-tight even when expecting the camper body to flex to some degree. How are people building the walls and catch basin so that...

Front wall roughed in: Shelving on the right side: And the left: Center section of the left shelving is reinforced as it is right underneath the hatch and may inadvertently end up being used as a step. If we like the shelving layout after our little trip, I will rip it all out, seal the...

Up with the ceiling and on with the walls (and windows)! Thurs: Fri: Sat: So much nicer working on it with the windows open. It bodes well for when we'll be out camping in it and it's hot. Once all the framing and construction is complete, this will all be torn down, sealed, and...

Hi all- I am alive.... Have just had a distraction divert my attention for a few months. In 2016, I had an acquaintance enter the Portland Adult Soapbox Derby. His entry was a little scary, but he still managed a top 10 finish. I knew I could build something "better", but wasn't sure how...

That is absolutely part of the plan Chucky. It will have an appropriate heat source while underway as well as while on shore power/stored.

Understood. I knew there was something I was missing..... I may facilitate for it but I doubt I would really ever use it. My other campers had it... and I never used it. But I did think it was a good option to have available.

That was my way of saying a place to connect "city" water- water already under pressure so I won't need to run a pump if I want to run the water. It amounts to a spigot tapped into the pressure side of the house system with a flow check device to prevent backfill into the tank and out the...

Holy crap.... Everyone else is doing my homework for me! Thanks gents. Brandon is spot on with all his updates of what we did, and reading through, I think he answered all the questions (probably better than I could've). Truth be told, he did the heavy lifting Weds. I am still a bit buried...

Thanks Ronmar!! This has been added to my to do list.

Hey gang, I've gone dark here a bit lately with a few other projects getting priority, but thanks to @Lostchain, I recently took a run at troubleshooting the CTIS issue I had in the fall. For those late to the party, I documented it here...

Water will back up in the filler neck when full, or push out the air vent. I don't have an overflow built in. The three other rv's I've had have all been that way.

Sorry Chucky, missed your post... Those are the water fill and the air vent ports. I need to create the channel for the plumbing to access it, but that's where it will enter the tank. I think I will also have a pressurized service connection somewhere as well.

They already published the video from yesterday's tank pick up:

You are correct. There are no clearance issues. I don't have any specific pics but the short story is the subframe rail and the base rail of the habitat gave me ~12" of height to play with, and the floor deck gives me another 3" as well. I think the bottom of the structure is slightly below...
