I haven't forgotten about this thread, progress has just been slow. Designing while you work is not the best method, and results in having to play around a lot "let's see, if this goes here then this has to move here and...." I made some progress, the cab over platform is mounted and the...

Again, nice build! Care to elaborate about the 12v vice 6v(I assume 2) Just about to buy 2 6v GC2 for my truck camper build, maybe you could save me some headaches Thank you Keith Sent from my Passport

So the roof pops up thru the rack after the cross beams are removed? Cool! Sent from my Passport

I believe it was mentioned above, but Baltic Birch is a great plywood for this type of thing. It had more plys(layers of alternating grain wood) and no voids. It looks great with just a rounded over edge like on a drawer side. It's expensive(all wood is expensive), about $100 for 4x8' sheet of...

That thing is bad! I freaking love it! I never finished the black out look on mine, waiting on the stock tires to die so I can get new rims and bigger rubber. Sent from my Passport

Sweet, looks real clean. If the seals are bad, I would look really carefully for signs of water intrusion, especially on the bottom inside of the upper section(below the windows)(might need a mirror and a good light) Sent from my Passport

Not only can you make it what you want, when you get bored in a couple years, rip off the walnut wrap and go with something else, Cool idea Sent from my Passport

The inside, grey porch paint, three coats Sent from my Passport

Here is the corner, as I mentioned above the front bottom pc is bent three times so there are no seams except at the sides. I gooped up the side seams really heavily with 4000 as the powdercoated support brackets cover the seam Sent from my Passport

Thanks! It's a fun project, but it's a bit frustrating as it takes up my whole shop and I have other interests that I can't focus on until this thing is outside! I have been distracted lately with shopping for a big Lathe( big for a Gig(guy in garage)) 16"x40 engine lathe with 24" in the gap...

Wow Mike that's great that you can do that to help a guy get started. Sent from my Passport

There are two S locks about 16" apart at the top center of the roof. A standard roof vent or fantastic fan fits nicely between them. According to the research I did, the S locks don't leak, I certainly saw no signs that the 30 year old roof I took off leaked at the S locks. The roof is only...

Finally got some work done on the camper. My son and I got the cabover section(the part you sleep on, not the flip up walls) sheet metal on. I was pretty happy to get the front piece on in one piece (wraps around the front on three sides) It wasn't easy with the siding brake, because you have to...

Umm- it's not rocket science, it's Electrical Science and Chemistry. If you care about how often you have to replace your batteries, and you care about having that reserve capacity when it's 20 below or in an emergency, then how you charge/discharge and the type of battery itself does matter...

I wouldn't be able to sleep after the dealers around here did a frame off rebuild, I'm going to have to start changing my own oil again they are so useless. Sent from my Passport

Don't let a dealer ruin it for you, as far as I'm concerned most dealers are Jerks. It's a big purchase, but I find when I obsess over the details, things don't go as well as if I relax a little. Fast forward to the end game, driving a new truck around with a sweet camper on the back, try not...

I don't know Mike at all, and I will admit that this thread makes me dizzy, but certain types of people, myself included, are never happy with anything for more than a short time. It's not greed, and it's not that the tool we have won't work for the job, it's the quest, it's the build, it's...

If you didn't see it, find Mhiscox thread on his new Aev jeep, he had great things to say about Dennis Dillon Jeep in Idaho, he indicated that people fly in from all over to buy there. They sell Rams Sent from my Passport
