got one side boxed up

the other side is going to be more extensive,looks like i plumbed it up for a sink so it looks like i will be making drawers,just going to butt end them and skip any actual joinery

And I thought my project was huge, but its nothing compared to what you are doing.

Great job in the interior rebuild.

Lookin' good, Gary. What's the box on the left for? Batteries?

[Gary68]

[MTNomad]

Absolutely love the rebuild. Looks like the big brother to my 74' Chevy hightop. I'm jealous of the extras your RV has but thankful for the maneuverability of my shorty. Looking forward to seeing this complete!

built a pantry and place for the fridge

the fridge all works except for the cooling,as in the cooling coils in back,they get warm at first then stop and the compressor starts to get hot,so could be moister freezing and plugging it up,a contaminant plugging it up or when i got it she had it laying on it's side so the oil could of drained into the system plugging it up,found some procedures to try just havent been in the mood but with wiring coming up,i guess i'll have to

Is it a 120v mini fridge? If so I would not think it worth the expense of repair unless there is something unique that would be hard to replace. Else wise I would look for the lowest draw mini that would fit. A 12v unit would be best if in the budget but you can find 3 ft two door minis that pull .64a at 120v. The less expensive version pulls .8a and as long as the condenser coil is in the back, you can add insulation and reduce the run time considerably.
