Not much work getting done because it's cold. I got notice that my Afterburner heater controller is on its way, so looking at mounting and plumbing of diesel heater this weekend. Not sure if I can tap into the diesel fuel line or if I will run a feeder yet.

I have a 200A isolator that I haven't installed and I almost bought the 40A DC/DC charger, but I haven't quite decided. I want to also add a 140A alternator, it's on the list.

Not sure what you are asking. I have 2 200Ah batteries connected to 400W of solar. Right now I don't have any AC needs, but I knew I would eventually so I added the inverter. The inverter is also a transfer switch so I can charge the batteries off shore power as well. I will have the shore...

https://www.affordablervparts.com/ $[/url]50, and they had my kitchen faucet 25% off, so it was score along with the door. Had I not already bought my sink, I could have gotten the exact sink I needed for $60 vs the $100 I paid. I need to check there first. They have my couch for $300, but the...

Got the shower pan finally as well as the second battery. Shore power inlet shows up today. The pan is slightly smaller that originally spec'd. It's a 24x32 and the extra 4" leaves room for my battery drawer to not hit the wall. Strongly considering a small insulated sub floor now.

This looks really cool, but there isn't info on what models and where to get it.  I sent an email for more info. I could see running this and if I get a year out of it, that would work.

The fridge fan sits right under the coil, it worked out well. I still need to get the fridge installed, but I might have to adjust my cabinet because of the sink. So close, and yet so far.

Not sure yet. I might not even need them, but I figured it wouldn't hurt while I was in there. I will be watching the temp once I have everything installed and running. They were $5, cheap insurance.

Drilled some holes in my floor for fans. 2 under the battery box and one under the fridge.

I was thinking my tank is on the driver's side and I don't have a door on that side, so we aren't over there ever. I might start with the fuel vent, it was $7. If I need to go through the roof, I can in the corner behind the toilet. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

I totally understand HOW a vent works. I am trying to avoid cutting another hole in my roof. This is why I am considering the fuel tank vent, to allow air but not waste water to flow out. But I also don't anticipate my tank ever being more than half full.

Maybe I don't need a vent? It's an 18.5 gallon tank because it was cheaper and it fits. I will only have 25 gallons fresh, so most our trips will likely be 3-4 days tops. Or maybe the fuel tank vent will work well enough should a vent be needed. Thanks for the feedback, it helps.

That's my concern, but running it through the floor, then through the roof means cutting 2 more holes in my truck. If I am going to go that route, a fan would also be used. The idea being a fuel vent valve would allow for air flow, but mitigate smell. I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time).

I just installed my black tank and I haven't done water supply yet, so we haven't really used it yet. But all the venting seems to be roof mount, but Scamp trailers use a side vent. I found a plastic fuel tank side vent and am considering installing it in the side of the tank.  Since this is my...

So I got the bulk of the wiring buttoned up, I will finish the switch box tonight. I was able to finally cut and fit my last wall panel, but needs paint still. Because we plan on using it this weekend I went ahead and secured the cabinets and countertop. Also got my battery drawer finished, I...

Got my wires redid and I couldn't be happier. While not fun, the end result is not only better looking, but an upgrade. Using the GXL wire also makes the overall harness smaller. With 10 circuits it is about 1/4 the size it was with 6 circuits. My connections are solid and it looks pretty good, too.

Thumb is great, but that was a damn hard lesson. Wires should be here Friday so I can get stuff rerouted. Also planning my shower, I think I have a plan for a showerloop, I hope anyway.

Here's my google album, I started a build thread in the Vans forum. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Pat5AFWXjJZRP9Ka8 I think I saw some shots of Putts build while looking. I have some pretty big plans, but we will see if I can pull it off. : :D

Here is a link to my album with quite a few more shots.  https://photos.app.goo.gl/Pat5AFWXjJZRP9Ka8

The steering column was bent, cracked, and all the bearings had fallen out. The intermediate shaft from the column to the steering box was also shot. I wanted a tilt wheel anyway, so this was the time to do it. I used polished forged u joints and a polished shaft to replace the intermediate shaft.
