Thanks, Jackson. My 3 big reasons were 1: paranoia. Didn't really want anything that heavy mounted up high where it could eventually rip itself out, down there, it's supported by the steel bed better, with less likelihood of destroying itself on a ridiculous speedbump. 2: it's much harder to...

Finally have an indoor shower/tub, really happy about that. No more beach showers, or 2 am behind the truck showers! 25x23 laundry sink, back faucet area cut off, making it 20x23. Drains straight down through the floor, stick a bucket or jug underneath the truck when necessary. 2 shower...

Good point. Guess I should say, put out enough to keep the batteries up to my normal level, with my "typical" use.

So, interesting development, at least to me - Even in the middle of a tropical storm, a pair of series wired 100w panels will still put out over 40v. Surprised me. Also, the build is officially storm resistant. Nothing like a tropical storm for proof of concept haha!

Thank you, I learned a lot the first time around. Believe it or not, the first version(you can see it on the ground still with solar panels and fan in the second half) was harder. The slanted sides made the whole thing so unstable, I lost it a whole bunch of times while building it, before I got...

Heard they weren't that great, especially since I have a gap that slants farther open as it goes up. Haven't cut the hole yet, so not really an immediate issue. Already went the first half year without the option, what's another few weeks? Here's some video - [video=youtube]

So, a couple inside pictures. Obviously, still under construction! Didn't get around to any electrickery tonight, finished the door and put a knob in it instead. Figured that was more important, what with the water falling from the sky this week... Incidentally, I did get some video of the first...

Will try to get some tonight after I get back. Also need to order some accordion boot so I can go back and forth between the cab and living area without going outside. Have power again as of last night, just kind of haphazardly strewn around, all the old wires are now too short, need to work on...

Mostly the planning... Kinda winged it a little bit!

So I built my first truck camper back in December, and lived in it up til last Saturday. Sunday, I decided I was tired of always crawling, and I built a new one. Did the whole thing in one shot, 17 hrs straight, no lunch break, no nothing. Just working. Had to be done in one day, because we're...

This is V1, old pictures seems to have been moved, no idea where or when. [/URL] [/URL] [/URL]

So I ripped apart v1, finally, after spending 6 months in it, and started on what should be much nicer. This is after one 17hr day. (8:00am to 1:00am.) I like Flex Seal, but rolling it on by flashlight sucks. No leaks on the last one in the 6 months I lived in it, so it's good enough for me...

Thanks all for the welcome, and Doug for the tip.

Built on a 97 F250, extended cab, 8' bed diesel, because it's what I have, and I'm not getting rid of my old truck. I do tow cars and equipment regularly, sometimes across the country, and will probably be doing a lot more of it now.

It's a work in progress, but it's home. Need a couple more batteries, solar, and a power converter on the electric side, eventually will get a Wave 3 heater, need some insulation on the lower half, and a couple more sheets of birch to finish the top shelf, desk front, door, and storage...

Hi folks, new here, and new to the mobile life. Lived out of campers before, but they generally never moved, always had a bit of land to go with them.  So I've been living with a friend for the last few years, got out of the military in 2016, and started climbing trees. He's finally decided to...
