Started making the trim panel for around the stereo, XM receiver and the HD radio receiver. Can't finish it until the composite switcher comes in. Put up the cooktop wall and speaker. Not much room. Also painted some panels while the roller was wet. Put a sight window in the left panel with...
Got a bunch of little stuff done this weekend. Cut out my stainless steel salad bowl drain hole. Took all of five seconds with the plasma cutter. Crudely framed the bathroom mirror and installed it and the second LED lap on the right of the mirror. Lights have a dim mode, good for a night...
Got some stuff shipped in this morning so had some new things to play with. Installed six single outlet power outlets and two fans. I have four dual outlet power outlets still on order. Removed some temporary wiring splices ( read Scotch Locks) and properly soldered and heat shrunk them...
Got most of the TV wall done today, installed one speaker for the stereo while it was still accessible. Installed a coax plate for the antenna. Flush mounted a dual power outlet too. Also ran some composite cables from the TV/DVD to the stereo location. Installed some GFI outlets for some...
Minor mid week project and idea. Installed the upper AC unit brace, foam and rubber isolated for vibration. Also woke up last night to the thought of using a stainless mixing bowl for my bathroom sink. So I got up and checked what I had. Settled on this approx. 9" bowl. Mocked it up this...
Got a bit done today, kitchen and hallway wall board up. Was able to reuse what I had up before. Also installed some wood for an assist bar in the tub area. TV etc. now up.

Did a lot of little stuff yesterday and today. Hence not many pics. Took my AC unit apart and tried to reinforce it for road vibration. Not too sure it helped. Pretty flimsy design, even for stationary use. Did some more cabinet reinforcements and also made the first of seven drawer...
Thanks, glad you like Lane. Nothing special here, just trying to build a low cost (?) cabin on wheels. Once you get into your build, start a thread, like to see your idea's as well.
Laid a scrap piece of plywood over the table area to see how the seating worked as a bed. Good fit with the cushions and quite comfortable. Fully installed the plywood with piano hinges. Works well.
Got a full day in today on the truck. Figured I'd test my generator to see how long it would run with the AC on continuously. Nearly 6 hours. Not too bad. At night would make it 8+ hours I think. Gen has a 30 amp RV outlet. My Honda gen only has 20 amp outlets. Finished installing and...
