    One of our SS members with a M820 is (as we speak this weekend) taking his 820 to another one of our SS members who has been known to fabricate some pretty impressive stuff to investigate just that possibility. After I hear back from one of them as to the feasibility, operability and cost of...

    There are many factors at play in deciding what base vehicle to use. For many on this site part of the deal is that is is "Green Iron" or simply put, "Former military". Some see it as preserving a part of history, some see it that generally military vehicles are built for no BS heavy duty use...

    Actually I had thought about the pre-made tub/shower enclosure with walls, it sounds like a really great idea... Except.... A standard tub will hold between 40-60 gallons of water. A 10 minute shower with a 1.5 gpm flow shower head is only 15 gallons. Less than 1/2 the lowest tub average and...

    I feel exactly the same way. After a day of doing... whatever outside noting feels better than a nice warm shower. One of the many things I hate about commercial built RV's is the TINY showers thy put in them. I'll have a "normal size" shower stall. Just guessing but about 3'x3'? LOL.. Good...

    His plans parallel my pretty closely. I know I'm going to have a good size shower and toilet. I'm pretty sure he is planning on both as well. Mine will be an installed holding tank type toilet (not the portable kind) in a sectioned off room also holding the shower and maybe a sink (room...

    The outside width of a connex is 96". You can only go to 102" wide ad still be legal. 6" does not seem worth all the trouble and expense of splitting and splicing a 20' box. That's 80 continuous feet of welding just for the floor and ceiling and another 16 or so feet for the front wall. No...

    Is the box part of a M820 truck the same box used on the M447 trailer? How big is the deck part of the M447 (Assuming you have the smaller box under the overhang part of the large box.) How large is the deck with the "under box" gone?

    Why would he have trouble getting back into the states? Thanks for posting those links. First time I have seen that truck. I really like that spare carrier. I might do something like that for my spare.

    Sounds like you and I think a LOT alike. My wheelbase will be longer and I'll have more overhang with a "Porch" on the back to house the BBQ grill and parking for a 4 wheeler, but otherwise, quite a bit alike. PM inbound....
