40,000 BTU in a camper that size?? Seriously??

No wonder you are sweating... A well insulated box that size should only required 3-5k BTU unless you are camping in 20 or 30 below zero.

40K BTU will heat a 750 - 800 square foot home or apartment with ease.

No no the last one was 40k btu, still way way too much, it was a 17' box.

Our current one is 3500w (almost 12k btu) it's the larger Airtop heater. We do camp in 20 below occasionally.... This past trip was right around freezing.

I'm plotting a arduino to control the heater.... I have an idea.

It was a little wet Saturday.... Makes working on the truck miserable. I strung a tarp up between the garage and truck, that helped a little....

Thats a gravel driveway under there....

And a half block from my house.

Didn't get much done. Started layout for the counter top. A lot of weird *** radiused angles on the stove... 1 3/16" radius corners?! Really?

Holes cut and nailed in place.

Weather cleared up for Sunday, good. Tile time.

That was a pain in the ***...

But my lovely wife polished all the edges of the tiles for me!

First row in. Glued down with polyurethane adhesive caulk. That was interesting to trowel.

Done! Well need to grout still....

Anyone recognize this extrusion? I'm guessing its not proprietary to TriVan. I need a couple pieces. You can see my dirt finger line plan :sombrero: Bob the rear end a bit. Should really help with the departure angle. I will have to re-do the hitch, but this thing is built like a bomb shelter. I don't plan to tow much more than my little aluminum boat.

These came to try to tame the *** end a bit too.

You need a hip and trendy subway tile back splash now. Sounds like a job for the Property Brothers lol
That's up for debate, it will be either nothing or mosaic tiles. I do have some nice red glass tiles left over from a job
