Thanks for posting, I really like this build. All the little pieces of glass and the 3" tape brings back memories of our build. Can't wait to see how you got to a nice smooth finish. I see lots of sand paper use in the future ;)

It's a Woder, specifically this one: https://www.amazon.com/Woder-10K-DC-Capacity-Connect-Filtration/dp/B00MPGRUNW/ref=sr_1_16?keywords=woder+10k&qid=1558290717&s=gateway&sr=8-16 See post #281 in this thread for how I did the install (super easy).

Thanks HB! Yeah, I continue to be really happy with the way the double lift worked out. The water filter gets a big thumbs up! No way to taste or smell a difference now between tank water and bottled water. I use an RV hose and Camco filter when filling the tank (big improvement on taste vs. a...

Super nice work! That thing is looking really good. Yes, good luck with the gas struts and lifters. Someone around here long ago described figuring out the proper angles and forces with those things as something of a "dark art" - I always thought that summed it up well :) Thanks for the updates!

If I had it to do again, I'd do what LeishaShannon suggests - no active balancing and keep the voltage out of the "knees" with good pack-level management/protection (you'll want to do that either way of course). That said, check out www.electriccarpartscompany.com. They have several different...

This is what I used after a long search for something in that size range. Nice quality and comes with all the mounting stuff. https://smile.amazon.com/Houzer-CS-1307-1-Club-Undermount-Small/dp/B0011YHVNS/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=undermount+bar+sink+stainless+steel&qid=1555868393&s=gateway&sr=8-4

Few little mods to report... After looking at the way I installed the Propex heater, I realized setting up an outside intake would be easier than I thought - specifically, the intake just draws air from the space inside the cabinet through a register in the door of the cabinet (i.e., no intake...

That's a bummer on the fridge slide/entry door. I did the same dang thing on my build with a kitchen drawer that interfered with a handle and a latch on my entry door. I think maybe it's an easy thing to miss since we're always working with the door open - either way, I never gave it a seconds...

I think I have a plan for the new air intake for the heater, I think it will be easy. That will be a future post, for now, it's time for an inverter install report. That's what I landed on, 350 watt Victron unit. I'm a fan of their stuff in general and this had some good features for me...

Makes me feel a little better that this is a challenging issue even in your big rig with good insulation. I don't currently have a roof vent/fan, but maybe I should start thinking about that. I always thought of them as a warm weather asset that I could do without due to the well-ventilated...

Couple updates... Coldish/wet weather testing a couple weeks ago at Mammoth/June revealed a new issue. I did a couple nights of parking lot camping at the latter resort, it was right around freezing and snowing hard (wet snow). With all my wet ski clothes hanging to dry and just myself...

I bought a little strip of heat tape a while back to experiment with. Seems daunting to do the whole system and current draw might add up for my battery-only system. Think I'll use the small bit I have on or near the pump to protect it from damage. Do people do this? Leave the heater on while...

Did some cold weather testing/skiing last weekend up in the Mammoth area. Skiing was great, lots of powder and avoided the crowds. Good stuff. New ski racks worked well but they call this a three-pairs-of-skis size Got two in but don't think a third would go. Hmm. Tips just clear the camper...

I did consider doing fiberglass around the outside corners but judged it to be too much messy work. To do it right, you really need to round the edge (router probably) and then fill the "end grain" of the exposed honeycomb core with thickened epoxy, then sand it all smooth, then apply the...

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it! For my one drawer I did use plywood (1/4" IIRC) and I glued a honeycomb core panel to the front just so it matches the look of the rest of the cabinet doors.

Enjoying some more time to work on the camper lately. Couple other little projects completed. First is an alternative sleeping setup. It utilizes the trapdoor for the shower to bridge the gap between the seats to make a "low bed". This is looking forward from the entry door. Some aluminum...

Since the lifters seem to be working, I went ahead and took the next step. Three goals: 1) use the actuators to hold the slide-up firm at the full up position, 2) use the actuators to pull the slide-up down (against the springs on the scissor lifters), and 3) use the actuators to secure the...

Just back from four+ days off the paved roads in Death Valley. New lifters, lots of dust, miles of truly awful washboard roads, treacherous icy roads, high winds and lots of locked bathrooms. Where to begin... Time to load up. Here Sheri is even more scared than she looks – those jacks do not...

I'm running a 100amp LiFePO4 in our pop-up camper (CALB cells and DIY control system). My two cents: 1) Go with the DC-DC charger unless it is really cost-prohibitive for you. Simple and they seem to work. When I was building my control system there was very little info on how the DC-DC...

Front lower mounts installed. This is looking up from ground level at one. Just 1/4" aluminum plate thru-bolted. I know flat plate like this is not the strongest design so this is kind of a test to see if it seems strong enough or needs some reinforcement. Primary advantage of the flat design...
