update 1. I removed the original boarding ladder and acquired an Aluminum boarding ladder with a handrail! I had to cut it down to proper length and also cut down the handrail. It is very light and easy to lift up and mount!! The handrail is a big plus!!! The width is wider too! So, i needed to...

Well, maybe a 5000 btu would be better for you? Not too hot or not too cold??? it's worth experimenting with that rather then running a generator all night or draining your batteries, right? You might want to install a thermostat in that unit???? good luck!

Furnace in my M109A3 To N20junkie, Ya, the rv furnace will drain your batteries down badly. I talked to my RV repair friend and he suggested I use a catalytic heater and do a quick disconnect hose to my propane lines. He said it will keep me nice and warm and i do not have to run my...

tire clearance to propane tank compartments to srodocker, I backed the truck up on a steep berm until the rear drive axle was completely against the frame rubber snubbers. I had at least 2-1/2" inches clearance to the propane compartments. I think this will give me room for my tire chains...

N20junkie, Well, mine is also in progress! I think it is about 32 or 33 inches wide by 6'-1" long. I plan to build a 1 foot extension with 2 legs in case i have a female to join me! It will be stowed upright on the future bathroom wall out of the way. It will clip on the sides of the 2 dinette...

drawer catches To Clay James, good question! I used hidden hinges for the doors, they are spring loaded to help stay closed. On the drawers inside i used rv type ball bearing glides that have a built in stop to resist opening during driving. On the drawers for example under the fridge, i...

Hi Ray, thank you! The floor are tongue and groove sections 3/8" thick x 8 "x 4" long. tHey clip together and are locked in place. They are removable if needed. After seeing how dirty and messed up a carpeted R.V. is after a weekend, i decided to install the hardwood floor! Im happy i did...

Here are some pics of a hitch i designed ,fabricated and welded, thank God i am a welder/fabricater. It was real fun figuring the layout for this one. I used 3/8" angle iron for the side mounts, then 3"X1/4" wall square tubing for receiver support. then i incorporated 3"angle to mount up along...

I just installed a onan/cummings r.v. generator in front of the pintle hitch, it is an 2800 watt propane fired unit. the propane runs great at all altitudes and compared to gas generators. it supplies full power to the camper with everything running!

Above the sink in the overhead cabinet, i installed a 55 amp power converter, when running the generator or plugged into shore power it converts 115 volts to 12 volts to power the 12 v. lights,water pump,circuit boards for the fridge,water heater,radio,exhaust fan in bathroom and charges the...

I had fun finding a tank to fit over the spare tire, thanks to my friend we found a supplier and it just made it in the area I had to work with. I used stainless steel brackets to mount the tank up and the toilet is directly above the tank in the front left corner of the van box. The toilet...
