the truma is going in next....

and i got part 4 time lapse done. its weird to go back and see things ive forgotten ive even done--and realize maybe its time for a hair cut...

been a while it seems. lots of things happening as well as customer work flooding in (only kind of complaining), but the big thing is getting the electrical done for the most part, just hooking up various things as they get installed now (water pump, fridge, heater, power ports etc) love my...

@ Christian P. you know you are seriously teasing this CO who is transplanted in Quebec.......

transit eco boost is winning on torque numbers though--now im just messing with you. Farfrumwork takes his sprinter where most will never go, and a transit probably wont go because of front overhang

i cant find the reference now, but i read somewhere that the 1st gear in the 10 spd transit tranny is as low or lower than sprinter 4x4 with the low range (which is highest gear ratio low range ever produced). transit can and will put 50/50 front to rear. sprinter is 70r/30f give or take (think...

I’ll never forget when I was at peaceful valley riding moto (Colorado off peak to peak highway-or freak to freak as I call it), and had a bathroom emergency and had to use the pit toilets in one of Colorado’s wind storms-probably at least 80mph winds. Yeah-pit toilet wind tunnels are zero fun

I am in Wendake, Quebec City pretty much

I built it for the purpose of working on vans and overland vehicles. I had a fairly big shop in denver, but 10ft ceiling limited me, so designed and built this shop with 12 ft. Code had me split it up into 2 structures which I didn’t like, but working well-1 is dusty work 1 is clean work. And 2...

ive seen some pretty questionable "pro-builds" its for the future bed, couldnt find one that said "bed up/down" so figured slide room makes sense since it is making the "room" bigger and has nice big arrows.

from organized chaos (actually got cleaned up and loomed after photo because im kind of OCD about wiring) to installed mobile command center

my build thread for the build im doing right now--between paying jobs.....Transit AWD build overland style-I'm back in a van

its just an exterior sealed PVC box from your local favorite home improvement store and a glue in cable gland

wiring wiring wiring......actually this one wasnt to bad since im taking the overland "everything you need and nothing you dont" approach (except for couple wife request as i said earlier). this one was a breeze compared to the last sprinter i did for the shop i used to work at.....geez...

Caro says I would not have the patience to sew the tight radius on those zippers for the 10x33 curtains (we make these often actually) so this is a job for her. ps, starting wiring tomorrow-or welding structure for the bed, or finishing insulation......or knock out some of the paying work I...

part 3 time lapse

So almost 6 months to the day after i ordered my CR Laurence windows, i got the last of the 4. It has really been holding me up and i was getting pretty bitter about it. Anyway, last 2 windows i was waiting for were the 10x33 bunk window sliders. a lot of people like the 10x33 awning windows...

only you can ultimately decide, i was always hesitant to give to much advice when i was selling four wheel camper, everyone has a different idea of what works for them even if it doesnt align with my idea. no right or wrong honestly. we always called a four wheel camper a "back packers...

look at how the ford F150s are made when they switched to Aluminum bodies. they are all glued vs welded or bolted.

im using siki 291, marine adhesive which remains flexible and good for vibration. if you have ever tried to removed something glued with it--- other good choice is windshield adhesive, but hard to get for good $$$$ here in a Cana-duh. so the ply wood runners are glued to the van floor, then the...
