I called Indiana Custom Truck and they sent me a kit to make the boot between the cab and coach. Then had my local upholstery shop make me the wrap for the interior. Good luck.

Another great place to get your aluminum molding is www.yellowdogextrutions.com. Rich

I called Indiana Truck Parts and they sent me a kit and told me how to hook down their boot. I haven't put the foam and wrapped it with vinyl yet, but it hasn't leaked a bit. I had to cut down the boot from what they sent me and then I used some flat bar aluminum and self taping screws to help...

Anyone know where to get the cool docking lights like in this photo? Docking Lights Rich

Geof What about the roof and interior. I was going to sheet the roof with 7/16 osb along with the inside walls. Will that be okay? Rich

Yes it is new osb. Purchased in January. However, I have a buddy in the garage coating business that is going to come help me coat the underside before I lay it down. I like the t and g factor, but maybe MDO (marine plywood) would be better. I do plan to use MDO for my storage boxes. I...

Here are some more photos, let me hear what you think. Rich

Thanks guys for all the great advise. Rich

Geof or anyone else. I want to paint my frame before I cover it. Do you recommend putting on the Mounting tape (VHB 3m tape) before paint or after. (of course leaving the red peal off cover on until after you paint.) Does it stick to the metal better than paint? I notice mose guys putting on...

I've been dealing with Hehr and they are great. They beat Penisula glass by 20% plus. Rich

I got an rv skylight off ebay for $80 delivered. It came with smoke exterior dome and white interior trim. 14 x 22 There are alot of one piece domes on ebay, but I had a hard time finding one with both pieces. I know All-rite has them, but they want your first born for them, I think she qouted...

Marc, I'm just a part timer, love welding, big trucks and have a cabinet shop. I've been dreaming and planning this for several years, finally coming true. I try to get 3-4 hours in a night, plus my study and research(countless hours there). Thanks for everyone's help. I'll get some more...

That is what I was afraid of, bowing the sides. Back to the way I planned and I'm glad. So I take it you are not a fan of the foil foam? Thanks again for the help.

Anyone ever used spray polyurethane foam for insulating a conversion? It is mostly used in houses. I was thinking about sheeting the inside with 7/16 and then have it sprayed, then as I talked to salesman we desided that putting up the outside skin and then spraying it would be better. The R...

I've done a fair share of research on inverters. I'm was going to put in a prosine 2.0 but got a good deal on a rv2512 on ebay. Xantrex has a new one out the rs model. You can get a gen start for most models, however customer service at xantrex told me it will only work with Onan quiet diesel...

Geof what do you like? Lap joint with no screws or screws? I like square drive screws. They don't strip. Impact drivers work awesome for driving screws. I take it that it is a good idea to chaulk a like for the bottom line, or maybe tack a ledger up for the sheet to sit on while you put it...

Geof I'm in Eagle Mountain Utah. West of Lehi (I15)9 miles. Lehi is about 20 miles south of down town Salt Lake City. Anybody around the area doing a conversion? Thanks for the pointers. My kwikee electic steps came today, now I can start laying out my stairs. What slide out hardware do...

Well I finally found where to get the aluminium. All the truck repair places in SLC have it. They have the .053 in 4 x 8 and the unpainted roof roll in .04 x 103 wide. I think I'm going to do the 4 x 8 on the sides and the roof roll on top, seemless of course. The big question is, lapping...

Well looks like I got about 55 hours to date. 1/31. I had someone else do the frame ext. (strongly recomended)$5k for the ext. and moving the tires back one set of holes. The subframe and floor went on very quick, one Saturday. Then came the corner posts and walls. Getting everything perfectly...

Just getting started

Geof Are you refering to the skin or the frame stretch? I'm located near Salt Lake City. I would probably prefer pre-painted stuff. I'm checking with some local metal guys and trailer dealers. Rich
