Money spent getting the chassis you want is well worth it. Modifying the vehicle is very expensive and in North America almost every part you will need will be shipped from Europe. I would wait for a 917/1017 etc. 4x4. Getting a chassis that is already in North America is a huge bonus but not...

Oxygen barrier protects coolant and helps prevent corrosion in ferrous metals in closed system. Using an open system, using drinking water in the heating loop adds a risk of bacterial contamination.

Too much flex. Insulate the box under the hatch and run a heating loop through that.

Our tubing is orange PEX inside ( the one with an Oxygen barrier) and 3/4" rad hose under the truck. I think having a joint flex enough to open a hatch is too much.

You look to be very short on interior storage. All I see is the tall cabinet for clothes, where is your food going? refrigerator? Do you have a spot for shoes? You will need a sliding dinette table if you want to get in or out from the kitchen side.

Think about how you will live with this truck. Parked at a great site with the stairs set up will be great. Sadly much of the time you will be traveling or staying at less than perfect locations. When traveling you will have to stow the stairs before you drive off. Lunch time stairs out, stairs...

Absolutely everything in design is compromise and everyone has their preferences. I see huge inconvenience with those stairs combined with no (or poor) cab to cabin access. Now is the time to be sure.

I have a strong dislike of "freestanding" stairs. They stick out way too far. They are inconvenient to deploy. They require level ground to rest on. They cannot be used when parked next to a sidewalk without blocking a lot of space, and more... An entry that has two steps inside the footprint of...

Neither, but if your heart is set on that placement face them to the rear, if you drive off with them down they might survive.

I have 200 000km with 2 X 315 Watt residential panels on the roof. Many washboard miles and tree branches. No worries.

Sorry Neil , our experience is the opposite, with permanent flat mounted panels we almost always get to full charge even in high latitudes. Our alarm for not reaching full charge in a 5 day period has been activated only a couple of times in the last 7 years. Our system has never stopped...

Bad idea unless: you plan to spend all your time in the American west or the Russian steppe, don't plan to drive through a small town ever, don't plan to explore remote areas that have wooden bridges.

Sorry the "/" was misleading. "-" is more appropriate In the Pictures folder of Windows create "Year" folder names. 2021 etc. In each "year" create 12 months. 2021-07 2021-08 2021-09 etc...

Our folders are by year. Each year folder contains 12 month folders. Each month folder contains the days folders yyyy/mm/dd Import this to Lightroom or any similar program. Then In Lightroom (or similar) you can add geo tags (this can be done automatically for cameras with GPS) add any other...

The simplest naming system is date. Put it first and be consistent, you can add more information to the name afterwards if you want or better yet put the information into the metadata when you edit in Lightroom.

Store on laptop in folders by date. Duplicate on hard drive. Clear camera card. Edit ruthlessly. Import and edit in Lightroom. BUP to portable HD

Factory. Live with it for a while as is unless you have money to burn.

WAX We have enough disposable plastic already.
