Thanks for the heads up on the tires for sale. We actually bought our tires a couple minths ago and are sitting on them until the camper is ready. Those ones for sale are a good price for sure.

Regarding the DEF tank I am not sure but I think I remember it being a five gallon heated poly tank. If I am not mistaken the heater lines run through the tank. We plan to carry a five gallon jug in the back storage box.

I don't have any finished pics as we are still under construction for probably another six weeks.

Very interested in your project. I've been wanting to do something like this but was unable to locate a company to build the RV until I read about your project. Do you have an idea what the vehicle weight will be when finished. I am corious what the weight of the vehicle will be to the GVWR.

Some progress pictures.

Swinging storage box on the back of the camper. 36"H x 36" W x 18" Deep. Built to hold up to 200 lbs in the swung out position.





Inside construction under way. This is a back to front shot showing the door opening to the wet bath. In front of it is where the sofa will be.



One the right of this photo will eventually be the sofa. It is above the AGM battery cabinet. Under the sofa will be home to the inverter and various electrical components. Hopefully a little storage left over fur us to use.
To the left of the photo is the front bathroom wall and a three drawer cabinet for kitchen items. This cabinet is the three drawer cabinet shown earlier. Above this will be a pull out pantry.



Great to see some more progress!

Toc3503, the weight of the camper will be around 16,500 lbs full of fuel and water.

Here is a quick photo update.

Bed with the lid down.



Bed with the lid up showing the storage area under the bed (still under construction) this will be home to the water tank.




Pull out pantry that goes in the upper cupboard beside the sofa.
