Digging it out. Probably didnt need to, pulled right out just fine. Now for some battery usage. We arrived Friday night ~6pm ish, this was Sunday 8 am ish. Was down a little more before we left. Lots of heat use, no charging at all. (IIRC we were at 123AH used when we were packing up)

The LED lights are great really really good. We missed a family of dear that I am not sure I would have seen otherwise. Driving in nuking snow was not an issue, gave a bit of a Star Wars hyperspace look going on. It was a good day for big sticks. Ski fun! It was amazing, 28" in 48 hours.

Good luck, DIY conversions become a huge PITA to insure.... Or so I found out. Geico was willing to do my truck over 14k, but nothing beyond the truck value. I was able to get my commercial insurance lady (Im a GC) to write up a custom policy for the truck and "camper". Might be worth checking...

That should be a very nice start! I think getting the car into the back in going to be the most challenging part. Can you make an "extension" for the lift gate that would do it? That would be my first route to peruse. Here is the list of builds I was mentioning, look for the uhaul ones...

Thanks Dave, just about cought up to current progress now. The table is from a tree they cut at the Seattle Center a couple years back during renovation. I think sound oil in Ballard has kerosene, but Kenmore air is 5 mins from my house. Webasto says it's an approved fuel! Fun to find more...

One more little project down. I had a cab marker light out, I tend to find when one goes, they others are not are behind, so I picked up some cheap LED replacements. New ones are pretty directional, but work fine. Not hugely different, new one is the closest bulb. Then went and got some...

my cushions came in! cushionsource.com

Then up the back wall. This was glued with super90, the rest has just been taped in place/held with the trims for the most part. Also wrapped around the cab to box gasket. Not much insulation, but it should also trap some air there that will help a little. Seat ans trims back in now. Not sure...

Had a little free time and it wasn't raining, so I got some insulation done. I picked up a roll of EZ Cool, basically just 3/8" foil faced foam. Wont do much for sound deadening, but should help a little with heat. The carpet in the cab gets wet from condensation when the dog sleeps up there in...

Exactly! And they are pretty low light. 10 for 10 on Amazon less each if you buy a giant pack. 10 Pcs TMH 3/4" Inch Mount White LED Clearance Markers Bullet Marker lights, side marker lights, led marker lights, led side marker lights, led trailer marker lights, trailer marker light...

Looks good! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

One cheap light up switch from Amazon, still need to make the bracket.... Apparently I am out of large angle alum. And done. Camera makes it a little brighter than it is, but they don't shine in your eyes, and give enough light to find the stairs etc.

Decided to do a little "camp light" project. Sometimes I hate having the bright outdoor lights on, so I did some little puddle lights along the bottom edge of the truck. Enough light to find the stairs, but not be overly bright. Start with cheap marker lights, they mount in a 3/4" hole...

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on them! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

A storm was headed through Friday night which was supposed to bring snow. So what did we do? Pack up and go looking for it! Off the highway and headed up for more altitude Found the snow line, so we parked and called it a spot for the night. Whipped up some tasty dinner and had a nice little...

Finished up the backup light project. Finally bought a riv nut tool, where have these been all my life?! No more trying to hold a box wrench on the back side for me! Cheap Amazon light bar. Tied to the trailer reverse light circuit. Just clears the license plate light, and the door latches...

One more quick project down. I needed better access to the propane tank. I had a 6" deck plate in the tool box, it was enough to turn the gas on and off, but not fill the tank, I had planned on a remote fill (and may still do that) but I couldn't even get the remote fill parts hooked up without...

A quick weekend in the woods. "fixed" the broken and rattling running board. LWB problems....

That looks like a terrible spot to try to work! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I haven't yet, but it seems to be working well so far. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thank you! I appreciate the fine words. I too like this site! I lurked for a long time gathering ideas. Glad I could give some back finally. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

OK a couple of tiny updates. Added a cell booster antenna. Will see how that works. Added a handle to the bed, much easier to lift! And worked on a backup camera. Huge fail so far.... Its wifi based and I had an old phone I was going to use for the screen. The idea os good, but the...

So one of the guys over at Grassroots Motorsports forum just so happens to work for Webasto. He saw my incorrect fuel line and sent me a roll of the correct stuff! Apparently they actually use the fuel line ID as part of the fueling system metering. Too large of an ID (like my rubber) will...

I hope too eventually.... $$ bumpers and winches are both super expensive for big trucks.... Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thanks guys! Another fun weekend Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
