My computer has gone into super slow mode so will continue later.

I had to move the licence plate and licence plate lights out to the back of the deck, I mounted the lights just under the lip so they arent visible, and moved the indicator lights back too, along with that was a trailer hitch for my yacht. I stuck some batteries into a box, note the switchy...

??? Finishing up the steps with a frame around the part where the door screws onto. And some non skid. I needed some air, so I picked up a VIAIR system, I really wanted an engine driven compressor, but didnt have the time to make up a mounting bracket etc. so I went with this, my National...

steps Once the door was in, it was time to finalize the step plans, and get them made. And installed. From inside.

lift Wow, thanks for the nice comments, I appreciate it. To answer some questions 1) The walls were made by Rhinocore, and they were mostly all the people from Big foot I believe, and I recently heard that they are reopening Big foot so I am not too sure how available the wall product will...

get it on I had some folks come out to lend a hand but we were all too busy so no pics of the actual fork lift episode , but all did go extremely well. I moved the unit out into the road, next to the truck, then lifted it up and set it onto some dunnage on the deck so that the tines could be...

move After cutting up the deck, I moved the truck out and positioned the unit in the door way ready for the move. Just to prove it was raining, funny pic, dark clouds but sun on the hangar

roof I bought a new camera and got a few pics of the roof structure with a couple of cross members for tie down and support. At this time everything is sealed up, the door is ready to install. The next step was to get the unit onto the truck, I had a date with a fork lift but had a few days...

roof I had bought an under body tool box and I mounted it, I thought it would hang a little low but it sits at the same height as the transfer case, and it was a cheapie so i dont care much if it gets abused. Back to the box, once the walls were complete, I set to getting the roor structure...

door and windows I had about a week to wait before picking up the door and windows, so I got onto making the brackets for the electric actuators. Then once the windows were ready I made a little road to to pick them up, I still had my westy at the time, And seeing as its fishing season, I...

mock With all the aluminum in place I had a box, a funny shaped box. At this time in the build I decided to do a poor interior mock up to see if my plans would work out, I used google sketch for my plans, works good. The point was to make sure the space was Ok for the kitchen/ washroom...

walls With the walls looking OK I got ready for the aluminum corners. As much as possible I had all the corners cut and fit prior to starting the Sika process, and that was a little more complicated than anticipated, I had to allow for 2mm of space for the Sika, ( I think it was 2mm, might...

walls Thanks for all the comments, to answer a couple of questions; Yes its for 2 people and a dog, I removed the third seat and installed 2 national air seats. ;The top to bottom seal is done with brushes, Fuller Brush Co. ;Its not Nida Core, its a composit made in British Columbia to specific...

time out thats it for now til next week, I have to drag myself out to this place for some fly fishing.

cabin I had the cabin pieces made from my plans and once they were ready I took the FG to pick them up. Just a little snow. The walls are fiberglass each side with a high density foam filled honey comb structure, strong like crazy. You can see that in the lower pic.With a bunch of aluminum...

deck After finalizing the plans for the deck I had some one make it, I left the top off the deck to finish the mounts easier Then a little testing, without any weight the frame flexes alot, but gave me a good idea how much movement it had. This next pic was with the duellies still on...

Hi all , starting a thread on my new camper. I had a 91 westy with lots of mods; suby, engine, propex furnace , dual propane tanks etc, and we slowly have grown out of it. So after lots of looking around with not alot of options, I chose to go with the FG. My main needs or wants were , bigger...

comfort I know these are in the wrong thread but I am just too excited about finally getting some pics posted, last one. Getting ready to leave on my first outing with the rig to go fishing with my yacht in tow. Yves

ohh, another picture posted, I just may have it down. This was at Kakabeka falls in Yoho NP. Any other recommendations for a shock for the fuso, I am in Canada so will likely try to find local suppliers. I know many have used Deaver spring but would like to see if anyone in the Vancouver lower...
