Only to be applied into RV's. Right now, my truck has been parked under heavy rain, I started it this morning to move it, no dampness in the box at all. We also have the same codes for new houses, they become so airtight and so dearly insulated that the heat of people, a fridge condenser and a...

No, I was speaking about water damp inside the living space due to breathing, shower water damp, cooking damp. Here in Europe, to get a RV title, we have to have sufficient ventilation, low an high, to be sure fresh air comes into the living space, to avoid moisture and possible suffocation...

I live near Holland, where water is everywhere, and where, at some time, the houses prices were crazy. Some people did let build a house on water. Main advantage is, when you have to move to another location for your work, you take under tow your waterhouse with you to another city. Bigger...

I do agree with most you point out. Indeed, to avoid moisture inside the box, you have to have a permanent ventilation, the bigger the better, and get used to those cold air flows getting in. This permanent ventilation may not be closed, it always has to remain open, even when cold outside. A...

More drawers in the kitchen, still have two to be made

more pics of the drawers, have yet six to eight to build

Hi all, I began this week the kitchen drawers building. "El cheapo" built, with old wardrobe walls for the structure, a thin bakelite ply for the bottom , the visible front being part of the drawers being made with pinewood and the same panelling used on the living space walls, the slides were...

You're absolutely right about the possibilities, we started slowly either as this is/was our first truck. The bed was first set differently, and after a little while, my wife asked me to change the orientation by 90 degrees, to have more headroom. You know, the "She who must be obeyed" kind...

Going back to the video here above, some features are a "no-no" to me : there is no permanent bed accomodation, the kitchen is waaay too big either... We cook maybe 2 hours a day, we wash ourselves 30 minutes a day, while we sleep 8 hours a day or sit in a sofa for hours too. So, what's...

I saw someone mentioned he had a H-D Sportster, so do I... Oh! I forgot to say Hi... :D

The grey water tank is a 130 litres thick plastic one, hung under the box, just under the kitchen and bathroom. I build a bracket with scrape square tubes I dismounted from inside the box when it still was used as a horse van. The same square tubes were used to build a bracket to fix the...

About skylights/roof windows, I bought two "Crystal" Fiamma windows, not knowing if those are available in the USA, I guess you must have other brands as well https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41X7fTN-vuL.jpg on the truck's roof, the left one is above the kitchen, the right one...

Jbeech, I would put the kitchen sink and the shower on one side of the truck, it allows you to put the grey water tank just under it. No hassle, no second tank needed. About the composting toilet odours, if you really vent your bathroom space with a roof window/skylight, with no other windows...

Anyway, you have to keep access to the heater, to change the batteries for instance. You also may build a airtight box inside your living space, with outer low and high ventilation grilles, with the exhaust pipe coming out the roof, box wherein you hang your heater, this box being accessible...

Here the bulge next to the fridge

You're welcome The heater indeed has been installed in separate closet, behind an existing door in the box, on the left side. I put on the door enough ventilation grilles, to be sure the amont of fresh air would be sufficient. In the same closet, I've put the fridge, the "Trimix" (12V, 220V...

Airtightness of a container is bad for a living space, moisture will appear really fast inside, this is why RV have permanent ventilation. To me, if I had to start from scratch again, I would buy a refrigerated box and pull out the fridge installation. those boxes already are insulated with 2...

the instant heater works on LPG, butane or propane, there is no electricity required, the "piezzo" lighting works with two 1,5 Volts batteries. This almost is what I have in mine...

The peat you showed is the kind of I use. The instant heater is branded "Fastar", you'll find them on Ebay, mine is a 2 gallons a minute, it costs for about 100/120 US $. Here in Europe, we may transport propane/butane bottles under certain circumstances, they have to be firmly tied, in an...

Kitty litter work good either, but the mineral litter weights tons and can't be composted, they sell litter made from wood, much better. try peat, you'll be happy, its inexpensive.

Here a picture of the composting toilet, on the left the peat storage, on the right the bucket, and in front, the shower receiver. for the shower, I bought a thermostatic tap, much safier than another tap, and it works quite well with an "instant flow" LPG heater.

Hi Jay, the 12V pump is a "Shurflo" 4008 one, three pistons, I took a light one, 8 litres a minute (almost 2 gallons a minute), there are more powerful ones with more debit. T hey are really silent, are thermically protected and have a pressostat which stops the pump when the top pressure is...

The settee cushions come from an IKEA store, I bought two latex foam matresses, I cut them out to get the wole set of cushions, I then bought some blue faux leather fabric to cover those matresses. Almost 500 bucks spent into this settee, but it was worth it, really comfy... The dark blue...

I also have checked to get storage places after the backrests, which are hinged. Planking every vertical wall was the following job, I used pine grooved planking bought at the local DIY shop. The square hole in the floor is where the table foot slides in, thight fitted.

I found out I had some storage place above the water tanks, in between the two closets former shown, so there the closet. After having insulated the two outside closets, I then began to built the U-shaped settee, here the sitting part
