Got the wiring done other than final termination. That battery isn't going anywhere, it was blocked in and foamed on all sides. Very well insulated from the elements, and the wiring seems tidy enough. Also gained a ton more storage with it finally all in place. Should work well. I'll do solar...
Been bouncing around a bit, working on the last side box that will house the electrical, Truma heater, and storage. Just chipping away at the last few things now that I need to do since we are going to Arkansas soon for a bit of camping. Then I'll come back and finish up hopefully.
Got alot done today, skipping around doing everything I can till it's warm enough of a day to paint outside. Caulking was fine in the shop with the heater on blast. But no way I'd paint bed coating in here. All the areas where water penetration could be a problem I added some 40yr paintable...
I did wall screws in mine for the same reason. Glue never seems to be the ticket IMO. Maybe I'm rough on things, not sure, but a good solid fastener I never have issues with.
Trailer is looking good.
I had to switch gears a bit due to the cold temps today since I couldn't bedline the tub of the interior. Should be warm enough tomorrow however.
Added a Fishbone Offroad mount to the side of the camper trailer that will be nice to use for food prep and cooking vs the tables we were using before.
Yes. I have a hitch design that I will be welding up to bolt to the rear soon. Will carry our bikes or motorcycle carrier, whatever may be needed. I made one for the last two M1101's I've owned, so I have a good proof of concept down that I know works well.
You can see it in this picture. It...
Giving serious consideration to using this same Navy blue Coudura 1000 material on the bed cushions in the trailer as what I have in our Hallmark. Would tie it all together IMO.
Caulking and edging done mostly.
Then moved to mocking up the lower sections for the bed support. You can pull out the 2x4 rectangles in three sections, and this will allow me to bedline and get access to insulate, etc. then put it all back in for the final time. I used some 1/2" plywood over...
Yes, and I was speaking in regards to it all. I've done many, and it's a very simple and straightforward job. Texas Speed uses quality GM CTSV lifters, GM trays, etc etc. It's all done using GM parts. You are simply getting rid of the parts that have a higher potential failure rate, and...
The LS family is about as dead simple of an engine there is. 5.3 is damn near indestructible at stock power levels, and VERY common. What they have done is also VERY common.
Just finished getting the roof in and cutting the access hole for the Maxxair fan. This will be swapped out for the A/C unit once I get back from our planned spring break trip to Arkansas in 2 weeks. My deadline for mostly finishing the interior is closing in quickly.
Now it's just caulking...
Got a few more panels in. All the Havelock wool was covered in Smartshield radiant barrier. I hope to line the roof with some more barrier, then get the roof panel on by tomorrow if all works well.
