I'm sorry for not putting much on the site. I have been swamped with the honey do list. We did take the camper out during Deer season. It was great. Six days of dry camping with my new to hunting son (12 yrs old) and my father. We always wanted some land with a cabin, but having the camper...

Ok guys. Its been quite some time. I've spent the last year and a half working as a third party contractor for the DOS in Iraq. Four months in Baghdad and a year in Basrah (southern Iraq). Finished up my contract the end of October. Missed the family quite a bit. It wasn't a full 1.5 years...

Ok, I thought quite a bit about it. I decided to mount the champion 3500. It has a remote start that can be used from Inside the camper, I tried it to make sure. I am just deciding now where to mount it. It's going to be passenger side, but not sure where. Was thinking either behind the...

Thanks for the info guys. I have a 3500 champion with remote start at home. I'm thinking of just installing a rack behind the passenger side rear axle. It's a bit on the big side but I think you guys are right much easier install. I'll leave the alternator option for later when the old lady...

It is an honor, quadjeeper to see you here. Also thanks for the great info tim. What if I run maybe 2, 100 amp hr. deep cycle batteries. Would that work. From alternator to batteries to inverter. The problem with the generator running is I would need to pull over if I wanted to start or...

I thought about that. I was hoping I would be able to save gas for the generator while the truck was running. I know northern tool sells some big inverters. I'm just asking, but why would I still need a battery bank.

Its nice to see a few people still check the thread from time to time. I've been playing catch-up on the camper over the last 2 weeks. I've got a bit done but still have a ways to go. I was pondering the power situation to the camper. As off now I have no power in the camper while driving...

Thanks dipstick. I'm sure we will get together some more to talk deuces

One more thing. the family went to Yoggy Bears Jelly Stone campground and had a great time. We ran into Shenkmen with his son and we had a great time. I learned that the camper can run just fine on a 20 amp 110 outlet. We had the air conditioner, refrigerator, inside led lights, water pump...

I also foam padded the dinette table bracket. We sleep with our heads on that side and lets just say the steel tubing was harder that my head when I cracked it in the middle of the night. I used water line foam insulation. I wrapped around it nicely.

For the fresh water level sensors I did a lot of research. There wasn't any type of sensors that beat the naked eye. Plus no wiring was needed. I like to watch the level drop as the kids take the 15 min showers aua

Finished tube is next. The wife needed the rack to hang stuff, so she got the rack.

Thanks for the kind words rassd71 you can pm me any time or if you want e-mail me. I don't get to look at the website as often as I would like. some more pics of the water heater set up. The fan to the left of the heater exhaust is the bathroom exhaust fan. If anyone remembers the flapper on...

Here's that pic.

Sorry guys, It won't allow me to upload any more pics. Keeps telling me about the 10 pic limit. I will try again later.

Here is an adaptor I bought to allow me to plug into a standard 110 outlet. I can run just fine on the 15 amp outlet, so anyone that wants me to come and visit will have no problem supplying a little power to me. Kind or reminds me of the Griswolds Christmas vacation with Chevy Chase.:naner:

Sorry for the upside down and side ways pics, Not sure why the uploaded like that. Now the electrical configuration is simple. Bath room has a three switch box. It is the box on the cab over 2*2 brace. Top switch works the Bathroom light. The bottom two work the outlet in the last pic. One...

Hainebd, you obviously don't know my wife. Baths are not an option. She can get very very mean. Thanks farmer, We hope to get up to the fall rally this year. Now more pics of me setting up the electric. I decided on the 50 amp set up. I didn't like the idea of getting a 50amp to 30 amp...

We just got back from a week trip camping. It was a success. We had a great time. I learned we use a looooot of water. 84 gallons goes quick with four people taking baths. Also learned we have to get better organized. All in all we had a lot of fun. Hot showers felt really good. Still...

More to come next weekend. Its too late at night and I drank way too much beer. Hope you guys like the pics.:beer:
