That said, cleaning fish or game can make a big mess and I plan another 55 gallons of fresh water on the trailer (with a sink as well as a spigot for hosing stuff down). I've been using Jerry cans and it just wastes too much water. So when I add the pull-out bar-b-que pit to the trailer it...

That would almost fit in the spot (but I only have 14" between shower and door) . I looked at a couple folding sinks (I'd like to have one at the food prep station on the trailer when it comes). But they get pretty expensive. The shower and head are separate. And while I was originally going...

Got the habitat gutted. Ready to tear into the electric. Testing some stains and sealants. I think it's gonna be a bit too much with the floors, sliding doors. It was supposed to be white and if I don't like this I can paint it (where if it were painted, stripping it back to natural would be...

There's a thread. Somewhere. I think my locksmith said it was a Volvo key of some sort, but he had one (years ago when I had my first A0). Keep in mind that the A0/A1 are different from the Trimark used in the A1R *btw: I was warned that ALL A1R trucks use the same key, so A1R guys might...

Oh mine has a 12v leak somewhere, trust me. If I forget to throw the disconnect it will suck it dry after a few days. Been this way since I brought it home. But I'll run thru what you guys suggest, Thanks as usual !

I may go ahead and use this on the walls. At least it's real wood paneling. I used it for the sliding doors under the bed and as a front facial for the kitchen counter. I'll paint it white (I've got plenty of natural wood already between the flooring and the cabinet faces, sliding doors...

The weather has cleared and I'm back at it in the morning. No wind, temps in the 90's, 98% humidity, and mosquitos are already sortieing their attacks. I'm at a point where I have to make a call that will add a good chunk of expense I was trying to avoid, but I know I'll regret not doing it...

I've had this issue since I got the A1R. All of my LMTVs were converted to dual battey as soon as they came into my possession. And I pretty religiously throw my battery disconnect every night. I've had no 12v vampiric drain issues as a result. If I forget and leave the batteries hot, after...

Preaching to the choir. Hence the name of the truck... :)

Here's how I'm going to try the hot water loop to the shower. Originally I was going to add a solenoid-controlled diverter valve, but I don't think it necessary. With the faucet closed and the loop pump running, the water will only have one way to go so the diverter shouldn't be needed. I...

For the near future, yes. It's registered as "former military" so I'm keeping the theme. I may or may not be able to register it as an RV in Texas at a later date. If I can, I may eventually go with another color scheme. But for now it will retain the camo. I almost picked up paint the...

I've read a few comments from LMTV owners about noticing control/skid issues in the rear while driving on ice that were not present before installing their rear lockers (sounded like they were describing unexpected "spinout"). Granted, big heavy trucks on ice are a handful, but I don't like...

That's more along the lines of my thinking. But I admittedly don't know what's possible and what's not. I've built sand cars and desert pre-runners but my LMTVs have been my first introduction to air brakes. When GeoPen mentioned this in a sort of "wouldn't if be cool if" sorta way, I...

Rgr all. What I *really* want is the ability to engage and disengage a mechanical locker. But that seems to be beyond the scope of technology somehow for these trucks. What I don't want are fulltime locked diffs front and rear (or even just rear, honestly).

Found a company that sells those: https://lifesizestatue.com/military-statues-c-91_53/american-soldier-statue-6-ft-p-85.html They also sell what looks like maybe a lifesize Marine https://lifesizestatue.com/military-statues-c-91_53/marine-in-action-statue-p-91.html And a pilot...

I've been stuck before and had people say "you're not in four-wheel-drive" to which I reply "it's not a four-wheel-drive truck" which always results in a puzzled look. Heh Something GeoPen and I briefly discussed a couple years ago came to mind the other day as I was driving. As I understand...

I just used a couple coats of Flexseal on any exposed foam. I don't really expect any water to ever get past my seals, but did it for good measure. All the inserts are gasketed and sealed with a black marine silicone (forget the brand offhand). And when I paint the truck, everything will get...

Nothing fancy. Just taps into the inside shower's supply. The hose disconnects and stows inside the hab for now (but later will go in the aft under bed box on that side). It stuck too far into the shower area, so I cut a 5/8" ring to stand it out a bit. It's coated in bed liner and looks...
