Thanks.... I have been keeping a pretty grueling pace so far. I want to use it this winter.

Drove to Denver, and pretty glad I did. The window that I purchased over the phone, wouldn’t have work. It was 1/2” too tall. Glad I double checked. Plus it have a small crack in one of the window pieces. Luckily, 5star RV does have a lot of windows. After searching for a very long time. I...

Thanks Vic. That is some detailed information.

I installed the insulation. I need to work on my wiring. Which will be on the back wall, and the ceiling. Which means I need all of the stuff to hook up to a couple of batteries. Probably need some recommendations what batteries people like. I also need to reacquaint myself with wiring...

Here is the window I bought from 5 star RV in Brighton (Thanks for the info Tim) It is 2” to narrow, but I will shim it up on both sides, and I think it will work. Still working on a way to get it to Grand Junction, maybe I will drive out there Friday.

Welcome, I am also doing a Fleet——-> Hawk rebuild.

Thanks for the pics. Super clean and sweet remodel Shell

Do you have a picture? I know that it will need some extra support. When I tore it apart, I noticed a piano hinge, but it had long since worked.

So I bought a window from 5star in Brighton CO, I just need to figure out how to pick it up.

A little more progress. I am definitely trying to keep this on the cheap side, I have time constraints and so does my welder. All of the broken welds are in the front of the camper. I am guessing someone backed into it at some point. I have been using angle hardware that I had laying around...

More progress. Floor Pack attached to the FWC. Wondering if I should go talk to my welder, or just shore it up with wood. I think you guys have sold me on getting a newer heater, and I guess I am on the hunt for some windows now.

Thanks Bill. I have been searching like crazy. Thanks again for the help. I want a heater that I can feel comfortable leaving on during the night. Right now I don’t have an electrical system, but I am sure I will do a couple of deep cycle batteries eventually. I guess a heater from 1978 may...

Hahahaha. You trying to tell me to get a new furnance Poky????

Tim Great videos. That material and sewing machine look badass.

More pics of the furnace in question.

Thanks for the Info Poky! I made some progress today, and somehow I was still able to close the garage door for the night. Let me show you to your guest room.

Can the metal of the furnace touch wood? Or does it need some breathing room?

So in my previous floor pack, There was a box built out wider for the back, and the furnace was visible from underneath. Is my furnance supposed to be visible, does it have to vent from around the furnace to the outside? Or can I box it as is, into the interior? If this is a dumb question, I...

Rigging system. Climber Z drag beer drinking slack line, retrofitted to give me a 2 to 1 on my biners. Pretty important to make these pieces of wood to hold the shape of the FWC. These things are made out of aluminum foil once the floor is close to being off. I am sure I am responsible for...

Thanks for the motivation. Poky it just occurred to me, that I am trying to convert a Fleet into a Hawk.

Poky Your finish work is incredible. Super jealous.

Made a little progress. Probably finish the floor pack tomorrow.....

Thanks for the encourangment guys. It is at that point where I am second guessing my aggressive demo. Talked to my welder, sounds like he is a few weeks out, but I will drop it off at his place (whether he likes it or not) on Monday. Probably going to start building the floor pack soon, and...
