    My 85 palomino bronco project

    How did you mount the awning? Tools? I have been terrified to mount anything for fear it will weaken the body or pull through from vibration. Build looks awesome, I will be painting mine soon.

    Finally! I have finally done it. I have batteries. I ended up ordering 2 6v Golf Cart batteries off of Amazon. I purchased them off of Amazon for two reasons. 1. I had a gift card 2. Even with out the gift card, and additional shipping, they were still cheaper or close to what any...

    Yeah, that's tight. Eventually I would like a Sportsmobile type van with a penthouse and a lower bed. Much more roomy than any other setup with the same wheelbase, curb weight etc...

    One of the reasons my post have been so sporadic, is that I can not seem to diagnose my photo upload problems. Some will upload no problem, others not at all. Then later, the same ones that wouldn't upload, will. I am mostly remote and using wifi, I assume signal strength is an issue.

    Nice! My brother just got a Palomino pop-up. Its huge though. He needs to lift it for more ground clearance and get a skid plate for the water tank. But other than that its ready to go.

    Yeah, at 5'9" I am pretty snug with a pillow, some one a little taller could squeeze but it would be tight. Width wise we really have plenty, but she like to encroach so neither of us really spreads out or anything.
