Thank you! We are without a usable truck so I am trying to finish it as fast as possible! Or get it usable anyway. Getting closer every day ( I try for an hour a day at least)!!

Heater intake screen built. Should keep any road splash out, and keep critters out....

Final wall panel went in. Was planning two pieces.... Did it in one instead so my hole was off a bit. Trim will cover it. Second dinette bench is in. I am thinking I may pull it back out and shrink it another 1/2".... The UPS guy must love me.... And I have a very forgiving wife for letting...

Got to let my inner OCD out last night

Thanks I'll look into those!

Four really heavy batteries. Harness mounts make great battery mounts too Started wiring.

Thats definitely an option. Im going to try Dzus fasteners and see if they will hold. Cut hole for heater intake and exhaust Bolt down heater and run exhaust. Put the slats on the bed. One skinny one since math is hard.

I appreciate the input as always!! Im making this up as I go so its always good. Yeah I never have used one either.... Its black only so no hair, but I hope to not need one

Yeah I was thinking possibly a bad ground, I am inclined to think ground would be shared between brake/tail and reverse but who knows. The brake/tail still work. Yes I know its generally drivers side. I just cant get the plumbing over there with my layout. The dump is actually going to come...

Spent an hour or so trying to figure out why my reverse lights dont work... Fuse is good, swapping relays made no difference. Im getting ~half a volt at the light connections. So possibly a break in the wire somewhere, which I think is unlikely, all the rest of the wiring has been impeccable...

No no, it will pivot at the back door and lift up at the front (by the angled section) should provide a fair bit of storage there.

Yes! That's why I did the steel frame. It will be on gas struts and hinged at the back door. Ski boot etc storage will be under there. Also the batteries and inverter.

Thanks! Im leaning that way.... I need to make sure I can get the heater into the front bench also, exhaust has to get out the floor, and the gas tank is right there. Its only a 12' box, heat will travel around. Im planning to cover the cab access with a moving blanket type thing when parked...

Yeah parking guy was cool about it, kinda mentioned we weren't supposed to be there.... I just told him I wasn't planning to leave that afternoon and he could park me in. He just asked we move for the night.

Very nice! The road wasn't too bad when we were up there a few weeks ago. Its long though.... Show up late enough at night and you can park right in the front :D

Got a fair bit done yesterday. Cabinet will separate the bed/dinette area. The bottom will have a pull out drawer for trash and recycle. The middle will be a pantry drawer, and the top will be a shelf open to the dinette side. It also created the back and base of the bench seat. Bench...

Im sure your mileage will go down and noise may go up, depends on the tire. Yeah its fun, we have been down to -20, that truck wasn't anything special, just normal RV construction, but had a big heater :) I did cheat and it was 4x4 though.

Ill add my 2c here. Although is a smaller rig, I do a lot of winter camping in it. This is normal to me... Good tires will make all the difference in the world. Highway ribs will suck ass in snow. As to ski lots, they are the worst, worse than the roads. Always either ice or slick packed...

Bathroom wall and bed frame just about done. Cutting stupid angles with a skill saw sucks. 18" clear under the bed frame for storage. The plan is to have it lift up for access from inside.

Fan trims and interior pucks in. I had to hook them up to see if it was going to be enough light. I was worried it wouldn't be as they are quite small. Its a good amount of light! Started framing up the rear storage/wall. Its 1" .072 steel, this give me a 1" area I can insulate, and gives me...

Cleaned the garage last night. I now have about about 6'x15' of usable space. Soon to be cabinet shop.... Also found out the cabover is still leaking.... Ugh. We got more than an inch of rain yesterday, once it drys out a bit Ill have to caulk it from the outside. Knocked out the bed frame. Its...

Wrapped up the ceiling Sanded and stained last night. Changing color First coat done

At the start of the weekend. Made a little time lapse of the weekend.

Fridge acquired. They only had one left in stock locally so it was snapped up. Isotherm (made by webasto) 4.7 cu ft drawer unit, which will be nice as its under the counter top, no getting on your knees to see in the bottom shelf. Its REALLY nice.... But my wallet hurts. Its a DanFoss...

Cut and fit interior panels. Slap in window.
