Hi Mike, Yes I have seen a post here, I believe on one that has a sleeper set up, its a very nice upgrade. A little more than what I can do here on my compound. In a few years I hope to be settled more south and west from here. Better equipped for bigger jobs.

Hello All, The latest progress was something I thought about for a long time, wasn't sure at first how we would heat the water. Propane was an option, but decided against it as I need to purchase that, not very survival like. So we went with electric off the solar bank. The sink is a basic...

Now back to finishing mine on the inside. Got the mattress, TV, 4000W Power inverter and AC hot water heater. Ill be installing this stuff over the next few weeks. I'd like to hit the Quonset RI show coming up this Sept 6-7.

Hello All, My latest distraction. Kept me busy this past fall and winter, spring started so slow and I got a late start on the finish coat. She was picked up by new owner this past Monday. Frag Out!

Hello All, I been quiet, refurbing another M109A3. I really have not had time to get on as much. I am still very active. I have come across the recent MVPA notice on ending surplus and today a store out of NC about a Rare Classic 1985 Land Rover being seized by DHS for violation of Clean Air...

Yes Matt Great Meeting you too. We had a nice time at the show, picked up a few goodies. Any chance you have a battery box available? Looking to store batteries for solar bank in one.

Running anything off grid is all about what you can store, Amp Hours are what you want to max out with, the more the better. For our needs and after testing, this set up will do well for our needs( some boon-docking) we also have a 2500 Watt Honda Generator, Super Quiet and will run 18 Hours on...

So Far only 1-12V Deep Cycle 150AH Battery in solar bank ( I plan on 3-4 total), Panel is Renogy 100 Watt (kit, Easy plug and play), Inverter is temporary HF 750 Watt, going with 3000 W soon as I add more batteries. ALL will be tied in to main box so I can get 110 to all my outlets and run...

Hello to all! Iv'e been quiet but busy. Things are really coming together in the shelter. If money were no issue probably would have gone bigger and more fancy. A lot has happened in the past few months, Parades, Shows, Fundraisers, Upgrades, Repairs and took Max to settle some bone conflict...

The past few days have been slow but productive. I have installed a battery cutoff key and mounted the Golight and remote to run it. Some minor fabrication of a dash mount for the remote and a bracket to mount the light was necessary and I am pleased with my results.

Hi Matt, Not sure what you mean. I want use of the 110 outlets with the trucks power. Now I get power to those from the pig tail to house connection. I dont want to install another generator/alt. Just want that 24V from the truck to power the 110 in the box. Im hoping that the Army already...

We convoyed down to Danielson CT for a touch a truck fundraiser. Nice little town, we met a few of the local fire crews. It was a great time for all and Im very thankful we were able to be a part. It was just us in the MV category. Even the CT guard was in a pickup truck.

Thanks for that info, I have followed your instructions and fully under stand it now. I do have the 24V going to the box as you mentioned with 24v lights, blower and heater. Thanks again on that. Now I have another question, can i run any of the 110v outlets in the power strips mounted on the...

On the door I removed access panel and sprayed undercoating on the inside of the door, a little redundant, but she's a keeper. "Sexy Beast", so all the preventative measures are part of extending her life.

I did a full paint on frame, axles and body. Added an antenna, painted the wheels and full undercoating applied. Lots of fun! Only a couple pics are avail at the moment.

Hello to all, its been a long cold and snowy one here, had to rescue my wife from work during the blizzard and another winter storm ... in the deuce. 40" fell not far from here, we only got 33 inches on our yard. I hope everyone is well and look forward to another spring and summer fun wit...
