    You need to be very careful with the slope. My old driveway had a slope, and I thought I could remove my CAMP-X without issue. Boy, was I wrong. The longer you extend the legs of the lift jacks, the worse it gets. Try to make your dolly as tall as possible, and try using blocks under the legs...

    I thought about pulling the sink out and pressing it, chickened out because I was afraid of stress cracking it somewhere. I sent you a PM with some additional photos.

    That's the way my sink is too, it's been mentioned a few times, but I don't think anyone has come up with a solution. I just soak up the excess water with a dish rag. There's a better faucet that several of us have used to replace the original. It gives better control of mixing hot and cold...

    You must be very tall. I have no issues sitting upright in the bed. I actually wish OEV would make it shorter to increase the fuel economy.

    You are correct, it's next to the breaker. What size inverter are you adding? The stock battery cables are only 6 AWG, I changed to 1/0 for my 2000W inverter.

    The inverter fuse has two mounting holes. I drilled two small holes and used screws with nuts and washers. As a side note, this was not a 20-minute job. It took the entire day, as I had to remove everything from the battery compartment and then disconnect & replace the original battery wires...

    There are some pictures in my post #560 showing how I added holes and wired my Battle Born GC3 battery. It was a minor pain in the butt, all you need is a Step Bit to make the hole from the battery box side. I used some rubber hose I had lying around to keep the wire from chafing on the holes...

    I needed an external 120v outlet and wanted it near the back for easy access. $18.97 on Amazon eBike charging and Starlink are the main uses for my inverter.

    I had the pleasure of drilling a large hole in my CAMP-X for an exterior outlet. This is what a panel cross-section looks like.

    A while back I posted about making some Mole Panel Nuts. I finally got a batch of them in. Here are a couple pics showing how they work. Send me a PM if you're interested. $10.50 each + shipping.

    I purchased mine when they were Big Sky RV from David. I paid the price listed on the bill of sale shown as Base Cost. All the other boxes and fees on the bill of sale were left empty. I live in Nevada, there's no need to title a truck camper here. Big Sky RV filled out the Manufacturers...

    I designed them in Solidworks and made a 3D print in plastic to test them... plastic is cheap. Once the dimensions were verified, I had them CNC milled from 303 Stainless with the black oxide surface treatment to keep them from rusting. I chose 303 stainless because it's got good corrosion...

    I finally got the Molle panel nuts I had made for the OEV Molle panels. They're 303 Stainless Steel with Black Oxide surface treatment. Trying to gauge interest. Rather expensive to make in low volume, but they come in around $10-$11 each if I can do a run of 250 pieces.
