Oh ya....... that is a sweet rig. That would make one helluva truck for anyone who does the real math. I really, really liked the grey photoshop rendition you did. THAT is a real rig. People probably do not realize all the space that rascal has for the equipment necessary. One day, your gonna...

Old thread, I know, but here is the last step van build I did (had a couple). So much room everywhere. Had house batteries and Honda genset under the hood, fresh and waste tanks under the skirts. I sure miss it a lot !

Kind of stoked to have picked this up cheap. Decently heavy steel walls, nice frame. I have all winter to plan out what the best move is regards modifications. She's a 4'x7' Montgomery wards unit from the mid to late 1960's. The potential is kind of endless... hardwall, softwall, flip-pac style...

After spending the summer building the truck camper, I only got out once this fall. Plan to do a winter weekend with just the truck.

I have a Domestic Full size! Sadly, it's only a 2WD, so my "expeditions" will be limited to the highway and trustworthy fire lanes. I spent the summer taking two regular high top fiberglass caps and turning into something bigger. Now winter is coming, so the fun has to wait until spring.

>>> Have you had good luck with electric demand pumps and no accumulator? And is there a pump you recommend? I've just been using $30 Seaflow pumps from Amazon. They are only 1.2GPM, but any bigger, and my family would smoke through a 10 gallon tank in a few minutes. I dont have an...

I think because of the space, its more work than a simple electric pump setup, though, You should have some interesting space under that K5 hood! I've done pressurized and a wort plate exchanger on an insulated aluminum tank. But I had space to do it. Still, compared to my newer setup, it was...

Covers are a two edge sword. If you get a non-breathable vinyl coated one, you trap any moisture in and things look rugged underneath when you take it off because it will have condensation form. On the flip side, a breathable one, at least the ones I've used have just let water run thru like...

I believe I did...... I'd have to go look for the can, but those numbers do ring a bell. On my first awning, I had sewn a keder strip onto el-cheapo silver tarp, backed with 1" nylon web. Rain always dribbled right above the doorway. Sealed it up very well, but from what I remember, it left a...

>>>Even my 93 LC the AT interlock would lock up when a cheap trailer blew its light fuse... Well, that's even better yet ! If they are going to steal it, I figure it is best if they do not get very far. If they have to abandon their mission, it is likely they didn't wreck much yet. The "short...

My 2 cents... I figured all the locks and chains I might add wont stop anyone dedicated to taking my 6x12. I also figure if it is going to happen, it would probably be at night. Oh, I lock things as best I can, but hey, they have battery operated 4" grinders these days. So, I added one...

Love what the OP has done here....I have something similar, and I too was at one time dreaming in the world of "stealth". Having a white "commercial vehicle" standing just about anywhere can go quite un-noticed, but there are plenty of challenges in this post DHS world and everyone on edge...
