My continuing build......
the basics so far:
'82 Ford Courier bed, 10 gallons of water in front of each wheel , 2 batteries, 16 gallon fuel tank where spare would go, 2500 Dexter axle, wheels and tires to match Jeep.
Made a little more progress. Figured out the 7 blade wiring colors are not the same as 4 pin. colors way different, so my lights were all jacked up. Got that fixed today.
Here's what we have so far.
My older lock-n-roll.
Propane tank mount. I couldnt get anyone to even respond to making a custom hose with bulkhead fittings to pass through the wall, so I cut a big enough hole and put bushings and grommets. White dot in upper right is my water fill. Uses standard water hose.
Distribution block. Switched power comes here, then to device. I did this instead of direct routing in case i change things, and it was much easier to install the switch panel once, instead of every time I wire something in. Also seen is my ghetto rigged ground bus.
Stove in the stowed position. Still need something to hold it still in transport.
Showing the slider and hinge the stove rides on.
The switch panel. Blue Sea 6 switch
Leveling jacks. I like the BAL C series. I had to put a plate across the back end of the frame to mount the jacks on. As shown the jacks will get high enough to lift the tires off the ground. No need to pull out a jack to change the tire. This is not fully extended. The jacks use a 3/4 socket, as do all my lug nuts. I use a 4-way for easy and fast work here. I changed the handle of the tongue jack to a 3/4 nut also. This lets me carry it inverted and still have ground clearance unless i get serious off road, then I'll pull it off.
My water output. the blue flex line unscrews for transport, and I have a cap to cover the spigot. Flex holds the water where I want it. I plan to use a sink sprayer on a 6 foot hose as a shower. It will screw on in place of the flex line.
The drawers. Racks are done, still building the drawers. They will eventually get lids.
Seems like not much, but everything takes forever when you are being assaulted by mosquitos constantly.
