Perfect, that was my understanding as well. Their diagram is terrible....

Gotta find some battery lug crimpers now

I have a big crimper if you want to borrow for awhile, always nice to have one though... i've postponed further work until after ski season. Just message me if you want.

Sent you a message! Thanks!

Fridge is in! And its pretty :drool:

Black tank fittings are the biggest pain in the *** you can imagine.

That was it for last night.

[guidolyons]

That fridge is sexy.

Yeah its defiantly nice when they come together!

I finished all the raw edges of the Plywood with cross linked crystal fin floor finish. Not really visible progress

Also picked up the counter material!

Child safety device in place.

Now back to the heater. I couldn't get it to pull gas from the boat tank. After pulling the tank apart I think the pickup tube was just too big for the little pulse pump. It was 3/8" ish tube. So heat gun and a piece of 3/16 and wa la, new in tank pickup.

Since I haven't gotten a chance to install the tank yet.... ghetto rigging ensures. Luckily this is all very low pressure.

It works!! Box got to 70 in a couple minutes.... Too hot.

Exhaust location since I dont think I ever posted this. No smoke or smell on kerosene.

Not about that ticking fuel pump. Its loud (mounted to the wood spacer above the frame rail in a rubber P clamp). This will need some googling.

Excellent....A lot of heat comes out of that exhaust too....aim it somewhere useful if possible (vehicle fuel or oil etc...

Exhaust just kinda runs down and out from the heater. Maybe leaves a bit under the box though!

You simply cannot loose it in a parking lot....

But hitting the store means we are going out of town!

Munchkin seat, installed.

Got an idea to quiet down the fuel pump, quick fist to the rescue. Definitely helped.

Headed out for the night

Parking for the night

Even got some work done while we were gone, added a hand rail

Ugh too much rain!!

Is that one of MG's portable bbq/fire pit thingys?

Also, what did you put on the edges of the plywood? "Cross linked crystal fun lady night"? 

Ha no I wish, its just a cheapie briefcase fire pit.

I guess I should read my auto correct errors.... Lol

Crystal fin floor finish.

On the topic of heaters. I was worried I would have too little coming from a truck with a 40k btu heater... Not the case at all. My God. Thermostat tells the heater to turn off, and it then goes into cool down, which turns the burner off, but still runs the fan, which drives the temp even higher. Heat set at 52, both roof vents open and I am still sweating in bed. I guess its better than being cold.... One of the smaller 2k watt air tops would have been just fine.

Poop tank just about all the way installed. Just barely fits.

Water tank arrived. Its going to be tight. Will need to pull my stops for the seat top to get it in..... Seems to be decent quality for the price though!!

Water heater set in place. Didnt eat quite as much of the cabinet as I expected. Lots of connections to make.
