    THANKS! Yes! Marking lines and wires is a must in my world. I have repaired way to many electrical problems in other rigs and airplanes not to mark the CRAP out of everything. I am even buying a special label maker just for that purpose. I will have a schematic, for reference later :-)...

    We will have one Maxx Air Fan. We also have 2 Sirocco Elite fans. Brushless motors :-) to be mounted in the coach. One living area, one bed area. We have a HUGE roof hatch! We both can stand on the bed and look out if we like...wine nights. If the fan(s) work out as planned there is...

    IT IS HERE......FINALLY. After 5 months of waiting our Isotherm Cruise 195 fridge is in the hanger! I can build out the 8020 box after I am done with the roof build out. THANK YOU @Westmarine for honoring the black Friday sale price. Saved us $500! They kept us informed and customer...

    You are welcome. Like many before me I figured the best way forward was to share knowledge, experiences and yes even failures and dislikes. We ALL have a LOT invested in our adventure rig build journeys, so it would be crazy not to collaborate. We ALL have something to share :). We are...

    You almost made me spit my sweet tea on my computer :-)! I will take a look. I am placing the AC unit close to the rear wardrobe, as pictured. Blue tape on the ceiling. Farther forward, mid cabin, would not work out the way we wanted it. It sounds like a good thing. It is the smaller...

    Thank you. All the research we have done over the last 3 years is one of the reasons we went with a Total Composites habitat box. We have seen many well done TC "homes" with cabinets, from various materials, running from floor to ceiling and we have never heard of any issues. We plan on...

    Now I understand your previous question. Ceiling I doubt I will be anywhere where the OAT is -30C. (-22F) but we will be in cold weather, and hot weather. Say 0F to 100F range I have never heard of a 3 inch thick roof panel "dropping", yet alone 3/8", especially at the wall junction. I...

    There will be no 8020 on the roof. I will probably use 6061 structural angle .1875 thick with a minimum contact patch of 10 sq inches per mount with 6 mounts used per solar panel. I have used this system before on a FRP panel roof, using 3M VHB with outstanding results. The TC box, and its...

    Hopefully Quade will ship me the case, or drop ship one, ASAP.

    Yes, Outbound windows, doors, and hatches all glue in place. The door and hatch already installed are glued in the Total Composites box. https://www.outbound.eu

    Thank you! I just looked at the mounts on Amazon. Not much more than aluminum these days. Is there any estimate for the Korapop to be back in stock. Quade told me 6 weeks when we left OAT 2 weeks ago.

    I am waiting for a shipment of the Korapop from Quade for window installation. ETA 4 weeks. I can always use the mounts shown in the TC file. I am an aircraft guy so I like working with aluminum.... LOL ! Is the 3M 5200 not advised at all? Thank you Sir.

    They do, but right now the added wait times are a bit CRAZY. 45 days! I asked both Plastic Mart and Tank Mart about custom fittings and shipping yesterday. Shipping anything large today is STUPID expensive. I WISH it was as easy as filling out a form, paying a little extra and done. We plan...

    A little progress. Solar panels arrived. Time to make some mounts and order some 3M 5200, and primer. I was debating using 3M VHP tape. I have had really good luck with it mounting solar panels, but decided to go the 5200 route as I will be using it inside the camper anyway to mount the L...

    I decided to give the sink its own grey tank, for ease. Kitchen on the passenger side. 30 gallon, pretty slim and I will route its own drain to the drivers side with a simple 12V valve and hose bib. I thought about a smaller tank with the overflow going to the shower tank but decided against...

    Thank you for the information and the kind words. I think we are going the dual tank, 50 gallons each, route. No baffles, 3/8" walls. Ronco, makes one (two) that will work really well, not perfect, but will work with no major issues. LONG trips planned so the ability to carry 100 gallons will...

    That same thought came to me at 3 AM last night. What if? REALLY GOOD idea, 1000arms. I will look into it. We are discussing having two L shaped food grade plastic tanks made also. I am running the volume calculations now. I did not think of "if one tank cracks" or replacement. Even...

    One of our discussed options is you building us a custom tank. I know 800 lbs floating around is not a good thing, but figured asking did not hurt.

    Blue tape is your friend :-). We discovered the water tank we wanted will take up a bit more room than expected. You think you have it right! The height is a no go for the seat portion of the L couch :-(. We wanted 100 gallons but it looks like a 92 gallon will fit perfectly in the allotted...

    Making sure our measured drawing matches what we have parked in the hanger....LOL. We decided to go with a compact roof mount AC, only a few inches taller than our Maxx Air vent. It was in stock and already on its way...
