I get a "DO OVER! "

[bushpilot-TC]

That would be a good idea. But with my Wife,she hast to right seat drive !

i hear ya ! my wife sits right seat....and NOTHING irritates me more than to see her head bobbing/nodding off - i say get the hell in the back, lay on a couch or go sleep in the BED....cause your distracting the HELL outta me while i drive !

Mounted the rear LED lights and also got the rear upper camera mounted. Going down to the shop when it gets dark and check them out. They put out 1800+ lumens each. Like 18 watts. And got some painting started.

Those lights should work well for you! Post a picture of them in action!!

 

[Schiada]

We will see. My plan is to use 4 down the side under the Awning if the test goes well. Going to try a dimmer on the Awning lights. Don't want the operating room look ?

man thats a LOT of (white) light on the back.

 

[Schiada]

White is right !

Here are the shots from tonight's test. What do you think ?

And from the cab it would be a big help backing up. I didn't have the camera's working to see how much it would help them ?
Randy

 

[bushpilot-TC]

its nice ! I agree when backing at night it would be really nice.
Ive been considering adding some to our coach so that i can use them to check on the trailer or toad when towing / running at night.

 

[MnTom-FRF]

They would be a tremendous help for backing up at night. Once the cameras are operational you should be in good shape for night time operations.

Some air install. I have been having a valve in the dryer system stick. Just old. Like me !

So I installed a new dryer today.

Also got the AV cables to the front of the cab. Need about 6' more on the longest run. Going to look-into building one ?

Also moved the cab pump to the driver's side. Going to go with a stack and it was in the way.

 

[Schiada]

AV wires and mounting plate for air..

 

[MnTom-FRF]

Just curious, why not put the dryer and tank under the truck?

 

[Schiada]

Most of the space is taken. But the gap at the cab and box just seamed right and easy to get to ! Oh, the old cooler/dryer was mounted to a stand back their and I could reuse the hose system .

On a side note the water heater is going under the passthrough. Will start that when the heater gets here.

 

[MnTom-FRF]

I figured it was a simple explanation. Thanks!

 

[Schiada]

Some wiring. Its a pain with the LED dimmer. 2 extra lines .

 

[GENECARP]

Awsome job, glad I checked back in, lots of good things I would have missed....

 

[Schiada]

The end of a long week. Some more wiring and the carnage on the floor.

Going to switch to some pluming next ? And some painting on the rear uprights/door frame.

 

[Schiada]

Water heater got here today. Its a tank-less for LP. Test fit went well. Don't think it could be run with the truck underway,may not draft right ? So I will only use it parked. Should have good assess to fittings and drain's.

[bushpilot-TC]

that flue / vent stack doesn't need to be clear on all sides ?

 

[Schiada]

Going to try it and see if we need to go up ?

 

[MnTom-FRF]

I strongly recommend you lengthen the vent on it. You are going to have draft issues and you will be getting the wall of the camper real hot.
