    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Bailey's 2018 Raven Shell - Build & Photos

    Decided to redo the interior layout on my Raven Shell. I wanted more seating as well as the ability to stealth camp if I need to. Easier access to the Fridge is a plus :) Part 2 will add organized storage under the platform

    I've had the camper for about 3 months now and I decided I needed something stronger than the factory turnbuckles to secure it to the bed. The camper is typically secured by turnbuckles that attach to (4) forged eye bolts and aluminum backing plates. Unfortunately, the turnbuckles need to...

    Decided to build a simple cabinet. Wanted additional storage while maintaining access to the electrical below. Might add a few more trim pieces down the road. Very happy with how it turned out. Also, I forgot to mention this, I added a passenger-side porch light for additional...

    I know :D Run them for extra daytime visibility when on the trails. I'm a slow mover and it helps when bikes and other faster vehicles see me coming. Not a lot of visibility in some of the tighter washes

    Been a customer of TOTAL CHAOS since 2012 and recently stopped by for a visit. While I was picking up my skid plates I talked with Nicole about something cool for Overlanders and Adventure-Campers. I am full-timing out of my Raven Four Wheel Campers and am currently spending time in SoCal...

    I'm not too worried about UV damage as these were built to last. If the color fades it won't bother me. Didn't have to pay $80 http://lexingtoncontainercompanysonlinestore.mybigcommerce.com/scepter-military-water-can-20l-tan/ This site has some good prices...

    The scepter water can has a large opening up top which you can fit your arm through. It's great for cleaning and gave me access to secure the PVC fitting. Rubber washers were used both inside and out as well as thread sealant. Absolutely zero leaks. Note: Everything was installed on the...

    I purchased the PVC parts at the local Ace Hardware. Ended up drilling a hole in the can while mounted in the AT overland can holder. I don't have a parts list for the PVC components but I remember it costing around $8 total for the fittings and rubber washers.

    Close-up of the 5gal Scepter Water Can in the AT Overland mount. Picked this up from Juniper Overland while they were adding the solar. Added the PVC spigot once I got to SoCal. Nice for filling water bottles, dog bowls, washing hands, rinsing stuff, etc. simple and practical

    It's a little heavy with both panels and the track system. The roof was empty up top so it came with light-duty gas struts. If I remember correctly, juniper overland said I could upgrade to the 60lb struts without issues. It'll probably come down the road once I get tired of putting some...

    Added a Dometic CFX65W Fridge to the camper underneath the cab window. This forms an L-shape seat with the passenger-side bench. I had Off-Grid Engineering install a Blue Sea panel which powers the fridge and gives me extra power ports. It also has a voltmeter which is nice since my shell...

    I watched both of your videos about 50 times before picking up my shell! Love how you've kept everything simple and very practical. I'll be losing a little bit of floor space with the fridge, but It'll turn the bench into an L-shape seating area. Have Solar and a weBoost on order. Hope to...
