    BeefCake's build...a roll your own Earthroamerish family expo rig

    good for you exploring off the beaten path - that's my plan too, i love boondocking and exploring areas that don't seem to be interesting to the crowds. one time i just hiked a straight line in YNP' lamar valley and found everything from old bear/wolf kills to a petrified tree that likely...

    Forest Sevice Hotshot Crew Truck.

    i put sound deadener throughout my rig too in the cab - roof, doors, floor, back wall ... then added the insulation and carpet/headliner etc on top - nice and quiet in there now (except for a really annoying squeak that must be found and stopped!) congrats and enjoy the build!

    Vaults and Safes in Camper

    https://www.cbp.gov/travel/cbp-search-authority rather than building an impenetrable vault .... buy a basic one, put a brick or a book etc in it ... and sorta hide it in plain sight. make it relatively easy to grab and depart with.... don't put anything you care about in it - that goes...

    Vaults and Safes in Camper

    beware internet legal advice that said..... locking glove boxes, locking trunk, lockboxes, gunsafes, etc ... in of themselves are legal. Same as the vehicle itself, if you're using it (vehicle, compartment in the vehicle, doesn't matter) for nefarious reasons then you may have a problem. when...

    Forest Sevice Hotshot Crew Truck.

    i was looking at one same time as when i was considering the rig i bought. one thing that 'might' be an issue is registration and insurance - since those are built for carrying multiple passengers there might be some problems getting one or both ... could be as simple as removing the seats, or...

    Ambulance switch labeling ideas or solutions

    i reused a portion of the center console panel then moved them to the dash - used the 3m panel adhesive to attach the cut-outs to backing aluminum (so the cut-outs are exact / the backing is just to keep everything locked together). i kept mine vertical but you could just as easily change it...

    looking for windows and doors

    i got the motion windows too - quality built, but they took about 2 months from order to delivery (they're up front with how long it will take). just fyi if you need something quickly. there are lots on the auction site if you don't need a particular size - i went custom because i needed...

    Ambulance switch labeling ideas or solutions

    good question re; labels - i've seen labels in marine supply stores but they aren't the same style and don't cover all the ones i want. still mired in other stuff of higher priority but maybe someday in a billion years i'll get around to the labels :)
