Looks good! Is that a Morgan Cargo Body on the back? How did you source vehicle insurance, before, during and after the build?

It would be a great base to start a build off of. I'd have to run the VIN by an insurance company first before I would commit. Getting coverage on a commercial rated truck chassis can be problematic.

To get the vehicle reclassified as an RV you'll have to go though your DMV office to start the paperwork. In my state the reclassification inspection has to be done by the State Highway Patrol. Often the problem getting coverage on anything custom is it's replacement cost. Saving your receipts...

Sorry to hear as well. Lost mom in 2011 and dad last July. Going though and sorting their stuff has been overwhelming.

If my Garmin GPSmap62s would ever die, I'd replace it with a Garmin Montana 610. You can't beat a device that shows you where your at, where your going and if you have tracking turned on and displayed, where you've been, all at the same time. If you all ready have the SD card, you should be...

It is a good looking rack. I'd have to look more closely at its form, fit and function in person if I was going to drop that amount of funds. Its the mounts that are problematic. Maybe one could purchase the Fuso Canter Steep Roof Leg Kit and fab up the rest.

I don't transport firewood like I used to. When I did, I didn't stack it on the ground, I pulled it from the pickup bed as it was needed. On one occasion, I purchased some bundled firewood from a gas station not far from a park. Even upon producing a paid receipt, a ranger seemed to frown on it.

Looks like a good stout build. You'll have to tell us about your roof rack. Did you take the Point 65 Mercury Tandem- Tridem modular kayak on your trip?

The wood makes the interior look warm, cozy and comfortable.

I'm sorry that I can't be much help. But I have a couple of questions. Can you post some pictures on the installation? Can the heater run while under way or do you have to be parked?

One will find more cargo body style builds under the Tiny House theme.

I was hoping for a video.

Bearings, inner and outer races and seals should have a National Stock Number on them somewhere. My suggestion would to pull these parts off one side and try to source them though a company like Bearing Headquarters. Even without any number on them, they can be measured up and replacements found.

Why wait? There's no written rule that says you can't pop the top and camp in your driveway. Doing so during the work week is a great way to develop short term parking and packing processes.

The build isn't on a Fuso, but it could be. http://www.thevandiaries.com/

What kind of instability are you having? The spring mounts allow the cargo body to separate, (lift off) the vehicle frame rails as the vehicle rolls over uneven terrain and the frame twists. There needs to be something in place to help guide the cargo body as it settles back down. The spring...

It's my understanding that MotionX doesn't work with routes only tracks. You can't beat a real GPS device that can show you where your going, where your at and if you have tracking turned on and displayed on the screen, where you've been, all at the same time.

Are you referring to truck cab movement or movement of the cargo body on the truck chassis frame rails?

A couple of FAT bikes would look good up there.
