Those windows look great David! You won't like for airflow! What are you going to do for bug screens and blinds?

 

[Abitibi]

I won't like the airflow? Lol Pretty sure no one will complain

If needed (didn't need it in my previous ambo) I'll just snap on some bug screens. Then top it up with some curtains, probably roll up insulated fabric which can be black outs.

damn autocorrect!!! LACK for airflow. lol. My extreme envy was making my fingers clumsy.

 

[Abitibi]

Damn fat fingers, lol

Look what recently showed up to my door

A nice little Cub wood stove (just like a little kid I had to try it!) and a hot water heater that will be coupled with my hydronic heater.

Also got started on the rear bumper design...

That’ll take the chill off the Ambo in a hurry.

That's the plan! A little redundant as I'll end up with 3 heat source but then I should be good to have the poptop open even in winter

Finally starting to look sharp! Got a few extra windows done today. One more left to mount then the next cut I'll make in the body will be much larger!!!

And something else showed up to my door recently

Cheers

Where did you order the Battleborn from?

Where did you order the Battleborn from?

Being in Canada I ordered them from their sole distributor in Ottawa, called Solacity. The batteries ended up just about cheaper than if I had imported them from USA and paid duties but I didn't get free shipping like they have in the States. At the end of the day, it was expensive!!!

Looking awesome, David!

Looking awesome, David!

Thanks!

And now my windows are finally done! Just installed the last one yesterday. Still need to install the seals and locks but should be quick enough.

Next in line is the poptop, Maxxair fan and figure if i have enough free roof left to install a skylight.

I lied, side lights were next in line

I did it differently than my 1st built on the AmbuLand, ended up being much easier, faster and cheaper plus the light output will be greater. Maybe even too much so I'll be installing a softer light by the camper door. I used Rivnuts to mount the side lights, worked great. Will be doing the wiring later once my electrical cabinet is built.

What sealant are you using for the exterior David?

I was just cruising the Ambuland page. I'm think of doing the under dinette drawer like you did. Would you do it again? Any lessons learned?

Time to stop testing your stove, you’re smoking me out over here.




I’m looking forward to seeing the sun again. Air quality over here is terrible because of the fires in the western states. I hope the rain helps to calm them down. If it’s this bad here, I’m afraid to think of what it is like nearer to the source.
