    Those steps use a special hinge for the threshold attachment. You can see the cabinet sized version in these pics. The second pic shows how they attach. In order to use their method I would have to buy at least one of their steps (to get the hinge) and modify it. I figure the cost to be...

    The picture in post #10 shows two fuel tanks standing up - they will be mounted flat. Believe me, water tanks don't cost anywhere near what these did. Post #1 has one of my sub-floor drawings. The fuel tanks are shaded orange in the drawing. The two tanks at the top of the drawing are for...

    Tanks arrived. Not something I can just strap to the roof of my car.

    Found a good video on a sliding bed frame that a guy made for his Sprinter van. My bed frame area is that dash/dot line at the bottom of the pic in post #2. The blue line is the halfway point and where I will collapse the bed to. This bed is almost the size of a queen, and collapsed will free...

Right now I'm mulling over 2 options: Aluminum stairs, would remove the railing to save some weight, or stringers. Found the stringers on Amazon, they go to 60.5" height and are available...

    Put 50% down, finalized the dimensions and ordered the fuel tanks. Should take 1-2 months. Each tank works out to be about 45 gallons. Though, I'll be lucky to get 40 gallons of use considering the surface area & how shallow they are. This is one of my latter floor layouts, though I've...

    I'm gearing up to start the actual camper part of the build so thought I'd start a master thread here. I call it a mini home because it's much more independent than a camper. I'll post links to all that I've done if you really got a lot of time to waste at work. So...I started my process...
