All that we needed to finish up the heater installation was about 6" of fuel line. Jason made quick work of that and now we can fire up the heater for the first time! I'm a little concerned because it was direct from China through Amazon... the quality seems acceptable, but who knows, right...

One thing I've been procrastinating on for a while was the countertop and table... I finally found the finish I want to use so I can actually get this part done! I sniped the corners of the folding table so I can actually slide out of my seat if I need to. Here are all the pieces sanded...

It's a pair of Renogy 100 watt panels. They were on sale on Amazon Prime day and I couldn't help myself. ;) Jason added some hinges and made a little briefcase out of them!

While I was finishing up plumbing projects, Jason was cutting more plywood to make the cabinet for the back corner. (it's sole purpose is so chips don't get crushed. We have our priorities in order!) Didn't get pictures of the entire assembly because I was busy doing other things, but here it...

Side note on the camper at this point. It's painted and pretty well assembled. The foam does a fan-freaking-tastic job of insulating the inside of the camper from the heat outside. With the roof baking in the hot sun, the top will be hot to the touch, but the underside is cool as a cucumber...

Might end up flipping it upside down or something eventually like you suggested. I also might just remove the knobs and make it non opening. It was just one of those final install "oops" finds that was way more irritating than it had any right to be, yaknow? ;)

Exactly that. It's a standard fuse. :)

Will definitely look into that! Honestly Jason is the one who cooks most of the time, so it's not something I ever look at. We actually just had our regulator on the hose bust and dump all of the gas out of the can. It all leaked out the vent like it was supposed to, so it did its job in that...

It works so well we almost bought another one to install in a tool box or something! Still might...

Today more than made up for yesterday's complete lack of progress. We finally got all the parts we didn't know we needed and got back to work! The big drawer slider is fully installed with the door on it and everything! It's HUGE and should hold a ton of our kitchen stuff. The odd space on the...

Today was pretty much a bust because I needed large fender washers instead of the little ones I had on hand... The main galley cabinet is going to have the doors split in half, so I got the center divider piece installed. While Jason was wiring up the diesel heater, I figured out where to...

Exactly that! There will be a hinged lid over the stove that will lock up into place and we'll just use the stove in the little nook. The knobs are still accessible with the stove in place, so it's not hard to use at all. I looked at the nice stoves meant to be installed in campers but didn't...

Not particularly. You can hear it clicking and know it's there, but it's not loud enough to be annoying at all. It's probably quieter than the noise from the fan blowing the hot air.

I didn't quite have the right fuel line to finish up the heater installation today so I moved on to the propane and the stove installation! I removed the hose from the camping stove, routed it into the propane locker, and sealed the hole with goop. Stove is installed with the lid and the side...

We got the heater unit bolted down onto the foundation. I'm still amazed at how tiny this thing is... The thermostat unit comes preconnected on a long run of wire. We ran the wire all the way along the back under the door and to the other side of the camper. Cut another hole in the camper...

We saved the pieces that we cut out of the main galley cabinet face to use as flush mounted cabinet doors. I got those all painted and ready to install, along with painting the inside of the cabinets and other places that I missed or messed up while installing other things! Everything is so...

Since the tube of waterproof sealant we used on the door is only good for an hour and is pretty expensive, we wanted to seal as many things as possible with it before it had to be thrown out! Here's the water tank fill: FINALLY THE DOOR! The door was a bit of a pain to install, but I do like...

Now that the countertop color is finally sorted out, I got it test fit in place on top of the cabinets. We had to make this awkward corner at an angle so the person on the left side can get out when the table is down. Not a lot of volume is lost, so that's good. That's what we have to do with...

Jason worked on the wiring inside the camper for a long time... we've also learned lessons about having two engineers working on the same thing at the same time. (it's a fight to the death...) Since I didn't actually want to do the wiring, I left and began working on the spacers that we would...

Good idea on the trim! I hadn't thought of that... I still have a list of little things that need finishing... I'll add that to it!
