Quite the challenge getting a 12' x 10' piece of plastic up and glued on by myself, but did it! I think I'll shoot for a sheet of wall board next.

Fairly productive morning, finished rough in of all AC and DC wiring, finished the insulation, installed foam strips over all of the exposed interior steel framework. Amazing how hot it gets on the inner surfaces when the sun is on the truck. With the foam strips, only slightly warm. Hoping...

Thanks Ray. Is a square bolt, bar can't slip past it.

True that Frank. I have off two weeks at the end of the year. Planning on overhauling the master and two airpacks you sold me so I can get the dual circuit system installed.

Hey, I'm planning on going to the Georgia Rally next year, some of those guys might want to lock me in! :!:

Go for it, no patent.:lol:

Ok, finally got the back door dead bolt lock squared away. Added a reinforcement plate to the inside of the door, the inner door panel sheet metal is quite thin. Considered using carriage bolts through the door for better security, but I like the clean look on the outside. Wanted to mount the...

I'd like to be able to get one of these, but their website says for gov. contract or law enforcement only.:-(

Ok, after much blue under breath muttering and a thrown tool or two I got the back door Yale dead bolt installed. No details will follow.:x

I used those type of connections on the DC circuits, all AC circuits used the screw terminals on the outlets and switches. No wire nuts.

Boat cable is marine rated Romex. All terminations are at screw retained connections at outlets, switches and at the breaker panel. I installed 16 duplex outlets throughout the truck, so plenty of screw terminations to work with.

Yes, wiring can take some time, but I'm trying to do it right. Grommets in all of the holes, solder all 12 volt connections, using flexible boat cable and no wire nuts on the 110 volt circuits. I do a lot of automotive electrical at work, tends to lead to some pretty simple problems quite...

Couple of more pics I didn't get posted yesterday. Street side 110 volt outlet and one on the LF of the grill.

Thanks Mark. The only place the wall/roof radius will be seen is in the bathroom. All of the rest of that area will be cabinets. I am trying to create as much storage as possible, for a sardine can anyway.

Thanks Mark. Don't look too close though, many flaws!

I am going to use 4x8 sheets of preprimed underlayment board. It is moisture resistant and real wood, not press board or particle board. First I will be installing a foam strip over all of the inner metal framing, as it transfers a tremendous amount of heat inside. Then a vapor barrier, and...

Thanks for your detective work oddshot. Will be good to know the cause of this failure.

Whew. Tired, but got a fair amount done this weekend. Installed 4 outside outlets, two shown, got about 98% of my 110v ac wiring in, and about 75% of my 12v dc wiring done. Still need to install and wire the 12v fuse box. Breaker panel mostly wired. Need to instal the wall board, ceiling...

Thanks for your input. I have been working with 12v DC systems and alternative energy for over 30 years. I have calculated what my intended loads are and with all of the variables figured in, I feel it will work as intended. I have a larger system for my home and it has worked well for nearly...

Got a little bit more done today. Installed and wired a 30A shore power connector, installed a combo fresh/city water inlet and put a screened louver over my AC vent. Also got started on my breaker panel and some branch circuits. I'm using stranded 14ga. boat cable.
