    20 ft shipping container and M1078

    The door needed to be that high due to the floor plan i wanted. The 150gallon water tank is almost centered over the frame in the box next to the cab, then the bed is over that, then the pass thru is right above the bed. I‘m adding reinforcing, a spreader bar will be added under the door, from...

    20 ft shipping container and M1078

    I bought 12 feet of the bellows gasket. I found some metal trim behind the shop and made two square frames to attach the gasket, one for the cab and the other for the box. The box side frame is attached permanently and the cab side is removable, to be able to raise the cab when necessary. The...

    Cleaned up the interior and started “soundproofing” the interior

    Thank you for the praise. Just doing what I can on limited budget and lack places to get the fancy materials. Most of the stuff for the inside is second hand and came from Habitat for humanity and Craigslist. The walls are used bamboo flooring, the kitchen counter is a mahogany headboard for a...

    Cleaned up the interior and started “soundproofing” the interior

    This is what I’ve got done to the inside so far. I always wanted a cabin in the mountains but never did, so I’m making the inside have a cabin look to it, sort of. Put 2.5” of insulation in all the walls and ceiling, then used 1x6 t&g bamboo for the wall. Has a kitchen with an apartment size old...

    Cleaned up the interior and started “soundproofing” the interior

    It’s started as a 14’ x 8’ box off a box truck (moving van) I got from a salvage yard. I added another 2’ by sectioning the box on the cab end.

    Cleaned up the interior and started “soundproofing” the interior

    Haven’t done much more to the interior yet. I will be using the fiber batting(sp?). I needed to put the box on the back to line up the pass through between the camper and the cab, to cut the hole in the cab. After I have the hole cut, I can trim out the hole and get back to the sound suppressing.

    Cleaned up the interior and started “soundproofing” the interior

    Had some time last week while I was waiting on relays (pretty much have order everything from mainland). So I removed the seats, paneling and flooring, wire wheeled all the surfaces. After wiping it down real good with alcohol, I used the diy hurculiner bed liner to cover almost everything. Used...

    PIN numbers for VIM connectors.

    That was an easy fix. I have been waiting for a week to get all the replacement relays so I could rule those out. Got the relays swapped in and sit down with the TM and volt meter. The first step in the TM troubleshooting ladder asked if I had 12volts to pin J2 in connector PX33, there was not...

    PIN numbers for VIM connectors.

    That’s the one,,,,thank you. I had a nice sunny day today (been raining for a week), got in the truck with meter, jumpers and ipad with TMs, and could not for my life, find that drawing. So I couldn’t get past the first step in the troubleshooting ladder. I’ll just try again tomorrow. Thanks...
