    I have the Air Conditioner for that, and it works amazingly well. Only needs to run for an hour to drop the box temp a fair amount and it stays cool for hours. We tested this during the 100+ heat wave here. Also, I really don't enjoy weather 95+ anyway, so chances are slim id be adventuring...

    Thanks, yeah, I love the hinges and latches for sure and the adjustable tension on the hinges works awesome. Yeah, plan was to have doors match the counter. The color matches but just looks weird. Friend that checked it in personhad a good point and that I just need to add more wood through to...

    Agree 110%. I’ve been spending a lot of time in my friends Hunter 45 getting ideas they truly do utilize every single inch of it for storage or something useful

    Advice Picking out Truck/Camper Combo

    Congrats for doing research and asking questions before throwing money into the trash like many! My .02 is find the camper first that best suits your needs and that you, and buy/build truck accordingly. When doing this, look closely at trucks rated weight and do the math to give yourself some...

    The furnace outlets exit in the kitchen area because thats where they fit the best, so the answer to your question is yes. [a few more middle finger laughing emojis here]

    They are a Soutcho variant of some I found that a #vanlife guy was using. One huge thing on this build was heavy duty latches to keep everything closed and secure. I had issues with both my drawers and my fridge opening on the trail in my FWC. I ordered and tried 5 different style latches and...

    Never heard of Dibond/alcubond/ACP before. I will look into them. THANKS The 8020 is available anodized black and not much more $ than the regular. Considering it’s a small amount for the cabinet, I might just do that and agree 100% black with gray panels would be bitching

    A few small updates. The power distribution panel is done, and all functional (everything is straight and symetrical on it, it looks warped and crooked in photo due to 14mm lens, ha). This is right inside the door and lets me control everything from inside the camper, or with just opening...

    Still plugging away at the interior and cabinet tomfoolery and its very slow going, as this is definitely not my strong suit... HAHAHAHA Soooo.... Half the reason i am building this thing is for my Northern Adventures i do every year (except this one, thanks Rona) chasing the pretty lights...

    Yes and No... The LED come in 3 different levels. The lowest level (which is what my SLT came with and what i swapped in) can be installed fairly easily from what i've read, but need a ECU flash to activate them. The high trim LEDs that move as youre turning supposedly cannot be adding...

    Embarrassingly, i am not actually sure. During my UT/AZ back country trip, i went through what ill say is some sketchy places i shouldnt have been and would probably be the limit of where i would take such a big setup. I didnt even use low range at all, but when i put it in high, i manually...
