Finally got ceiling done today. I underestimated the install lol. It was little more fun that I thought would be. Since ceiling was curving both ways made it harder. But finished insulation and routing fan wiring. Next I’ll prob start on front cabinets. I’ll try to figure where I’ll put my battery. Charger. Fuse panel. And switch panel while doing all that. I have a 3000w inverter I might add also just for quick uses of 115v. Maybe small microwave and grill. Still a lot of little things to to dry up and figure out. But getting closer.

I have thought if I get into too much back woods that I might make some wood paneling covers or something to cover windows. Any info on the billiebob covers your talking about?
Billiebob posted photos of his window cover / table setup in your thread above.

Well after first trip night. I learned few things lol. First I havnt had time to install door latch, which is a must. That fantastic fan moves a metric crap ton of air lol. So when cold better to open vent but leave fan off. The heater will run you out. Or can freeze you. So after fixing door latch. I should be able to run heater for bit. Then prob turn completely off. With multiple led lights and heater running for prob 9 hours. And fan for prob 5 hours. My voltage dropped from 13.1 to 12.6. So battery shouldn’t be any issues. Very happy about that.
I also figured out I need to move the awning about 4” more to the front. With the annex kit on it, it’s tight on side door. So after moving it. Should be perfect fit to have on and open door easily.
If anyone is interested. Batteries I have 2 used MK agm batteries. They was about $55 each and came with a year warranty.
thx all
