Allochris's ultimate buildup thread!!!

[dieselcruiserhead]

That's pretty cool, looks like your plate says SKI NAKED? My parents live up in Montreal off Mont Royal and Avenue du Parc. Very cool build

So ya, skipping forward more than a year....winter is about to begin again. This time I am in the process to complete the camper for the winter season. I am planning to quite possibly live in this for the next 4 months in Revelstoke, BC.

The camper modification has already began 3-4 days ago.

To do list for completion in 1-2 weeks time:

-Modify Pop-top mechanism to A-Frame (For snow-slidding ability)
-Removable Hard Shell - Insulated
-Insulate roof
-Make slide out bed
-Add additional bench
-Modify counter top
-Install the Camco 57331 Olympian RV Wave-3 3000 BTU LP Gas Catalytic Heater

Who has the Camco 57331 Olympian RV Wave-3 3000 BTU LP Gas Catalytic Heater? (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BUV1RK/ref=ox_ya_oh_product)

I just bought this from amazon online but I will only receive on the evening before my departure date across the country.

Can anyone let me know what part i need to successfully hook this heater up? (i.e. Hose, adapter, regulator, propane tank...etc)

Great, I've been putting off insulating the roof and putting a headliner in my camper because it's been 30-45* outside and then I see pics of you working outside in the snow. I guess I will have to come up with another excuse why I can't get off my butt and start working on it.

Yes, your bare fingers will get acclimatized to the -10c (12-15f) temperature pretty quickly....They work best when u don't feel anything anymore....A little Reggae/South american music helps...:sombrero:

What kind of set-up time would you be looking at with all of the side panels? Love the concept...curious about the implementation!

Your motivation is stronger than mine...the minute we start getting the white stuff I play hibernating bear for the winter...

Kudos!

Realistically, I am hoping to be able to assemble it within 10 minutes when I get enough practice.

Then add another 10 mins to tear-down.

If set-up and tear-down time is an issue though, it isn't a problem either since:

-the camper already has ample sleep-able space already with the roof down
-The raised roof & panels are being designed to withstand 40km-50km of city driving. (hopefully!)

Motivation is definitely fueled by the westbound cross-continent departure in exactly 8.5 days!!!:smiley_drive:
