Where did you order the Battleborn from?

I was reading your post. What did you end up using for insulation under the floor? I'm trying to think of something that's flexible and won't compress much. I also did the ceiling and doors. I did what you did and jammed roxul in the cavities too. I figure the cab is going to be the coldest...

Sorry for hijacking the thread. So basically I am converting an ambulance right now. It's all aluminum 2" studs with aluminum exterior panels. Right now they have 1" rigid poly iso and then aluminum bubble insulation that is taped to the studs as a vapour barrier. I was pretty concerned about...

Ok so Nat got all the sound proofing down in the floor. What is everyone using for thermal insulation between the floor and the floor mat? And the ceiling for that matter. I think the cab is going to be the coldest spot and while the seats are pulled out I want to get it done right. I’m reading...

So if I have a van wall and I spray closed cell foam against the wall I can still get corrosion between the wall panel and the closed cell foam? Wouldn’t that be airtight? I realize the OP had a different question but I just want to make sure I’m not going to cause myself an issue

If you use closed cell foam, that will stop the corrosion issues correct?

Sorry about all the sideways pictures. The site seems to be flipping them on me. I wish I could just pop the top! I got the roof all bolted in today. It went well but was slightly time consuming to drill all the holes and line everything up. My welder buddy is coming by and I might still get...

I can get them in Canada. But if it sounds too good it's probably true. Zero ratings or reviews on Amazon but that's probably because it only became available 2 weeks ago. I can get 200aH battery for roughly $800USD...

For the tank I wanted it close to my drying room and heater as I want that to stay pretty warm. I attached a rough layout. I guess since my cabinets and everything are on that side too, maybe I should switch the tank to the other side.... Something to think about for sure. I do want to use...

Phew! I thought I was just talking to myself there for a bit. Not a ton got done today as I have evening plans that cut everything short Plus I had to some running around to do what took several hours. I found a tank that will fit. It’s big at 55 gallons but there will typically be three of us...

Well today I got the roof cut off and raised up a bit. My roof is bolted on in one big section. I took out the bolts and then the corners were the only thing I had to cut(so I thought). They are welded aluminum and ground smooth but they had been cracking so that needed to be addressed anyhow...

Sorry I replied before I saw this. Thanks for the good info

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I thought I mentioned I have two lead acid batteries for the auxiliary that came with the rig. https://batteryguys.com/products/northstar-nsb-agm-31 I need to double check but I *believe* the first 150A alternator and the starting battery are on a fully separate...

Sorry for the second question today. So I've finished ordering almost everything for my solar setup. I am seeing lots of DC-DC chargers as being "needed" to charge my auxiliary batteries off of the alternator. I am converting an ambulance and my first alternator is 150A second alternator is...

OK, today I got nothing done but ordering things. I'm basically piecing together my electrical system. Right now it's 400W of solar on a Renogy PWM Wanderer. I hummed and hawed about going to MPPT but I figure this was cheap enough to get me started and has battery monitoring with the bluetooth...

I'm putting together my first van solar/off grid set up. Almost every blog and webpage seems to be pushing the Victron stuff. It's about double the cost and when I read the reviews on amazon, it doesn't seem to match up. Seems like there are some pretty unsatisfied customers. I'm also finding...

Not too much more to report. We pulled the front seats and some sort of radio racking out of the front and continued to gut the back. My wife got an unexpected large chunk of time off so I think we are going to try to get a usable version done ASAP which means I think the roof will not be...

I can't seem to find the prelabor Day sale prices. Is this applicable to Canada too?

Help everyone. I just bought a 2014 GMC 4500 Duramax with 173,000km. I picked it up on Thursday and was able to start gutting it Friday afternoon.

Well it took me a few months longer than I planned but I just brought this cherry 2014 GMC 4500 home. 173,000km (106,000mi) on the Duramax. I'm really excited I got the GMC as it drives like a dream. On the road it feels it's about a 1/3rd of it's actual size. I'm going to start gutting and will...
