I'm up for a consulting job and you can use my crimper. Bring that rig up here to the cooler temps. It was only 96 here yesterday. Maybe I'll swing through there on my way North in a couple months. Phoenix in August, yay....

Smart wife, I hadn't thought of that. It's a good idea.

What can I say, it's a big roof. There was room to spare. The panels are something like 63 x 42? Look up the panasonic 325 watt panels on Northern Arizona Wind and Sun's site to check. The panels are wired so each side is separate. Two arrays each in series. In other words if the driver or...

No plans for that yet. It's a good idea. There isn't much room for anything else to go in this cabinet. We shall see, if I try to cram other stuff in there then I might use your idea. Most likely it will stay as is for easy access. A guy on instagram had a great idea of putting a top rail...

Electricals........... My electrical system is all Victron Energy from Bahn Camperworks. It went together easily and is amazing thus far. The panels are 1300 watts (panasonic), batteries are 2 x 200 amps lithium, Inverter is a multiplus 3000w, and solar controller is a 150/85. My...

It's been a while since I updated. I've been at it full time but seems like a lot of the smaller details have been taking precedence. I have finished a few items however including this cabinet. Nice to have at least one place where I no longer need to do anything. Having said that I'll...

I missed this reply. May be just what the doctor ordered. Thanks, I'll look into them.

Thanks Bob. You are the Hoseline Man. If I was your neighbor I'd probably add in the dual system. Since however we are thousands of miles apart, my hoseline system has been removed. I currently have a portable home a/c heat pump unit installed. One wire, one vent, one drain. The unit fell...

Wow, you guys really came through with this one. So far I'm leaning towards the cowpig solution. I'm a glutton for punishment and am willing to spend 25 man hours trying to re-purpose the old ones rather than do the sensible thing which is just buying a new set up for 30 bucks. There is...

Those look good and it all sounds so simple. I have another question for the masses. My switches are set up horizontally and I need them vertical. Did you guys all mount them in the same orientation they came in? I need them in portrait rather than landscape. 3 to 4 switches wide with a space...

Thanks Gents. I'm ashamed to say I still haven't called or taken it any further. I did get some sample printer paper in many different "textures". I've been too busy working on the outside of the truck. The summer heat is coming fast and I want to be working on the inside. Got the new a/c...

I'm liking the looks of this build. Keep up the good work.

Correct, 1300 watts. I have a Victron Energy 150/85 solar controller thanks to Ryan at Bahn Composites. More details on the electrics to follow.

Thanks cowpig. I've already got the system vacuumed out and some of the hoses removed. I'll need to find and replace the original hose that had the pressure sender in it. Hoseline moved it to one of their lines. Other than that I'm ready to recharge. Your list will come in handy, thank you.

And now for some real progress. I picked up my solar panels recently. 4 of these babies should move some electrons. What amazes me about this build is the cost of the supporting hardware. These panels were just over 1200 dollars. The brackets, screws, paint, wiring, vhb tape, circuit...

I'm not sure I got a picture of my water tanks on here yet. Hope this isn't a double post. I have two tanks, on the left is a 24 gallon and the right is a 46. A total of 76 gallons if you add the 6 in the water heater. Although it doesn't look it here, they are the same height so should...

I've decided to rip out the hoseline. The a/c system gets vacuumed out today so I can start working on the hoses. Thanks for the offer on the hoseline parts but I guess I'm jumping into the same boat as you and a lot of folks. How to get rid of the spare parts. I also have an attendants...

I'm still leaning towards ripping the hoseline out entirely. However, if I do decide to keep it, do you have a 12v compressor? What made you decide to remove yours? I know what you mean on the little time consumers. I had to stop work on the wiring of batteries, inverter, controller...

Hey Bob. Could you check your messages, I sent you a pm. I'm now considering getting rid of the Hoseline system. It appears that I only have the engine driven compressor so no option for rear cooling without the truck running. I'd like to see what you have to say about adding components or...

Thank you. Comments like this help to keep me motivated. Appreciate it.
