    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Your dinette seat dimensions

    I can measure mine tonight, but like you are suggesing, my seats are even with the camper ledge. Also, as Argonaout said, my table base is on the fender ledge(?) below the camper ledge. Its been great, and to give you perspective, last fall we were camping with another family and ate in side to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Your dinette seat dimensions

    You might look at http://www.wanderthe...hp?/topic/2159/ for the story on our dinette in the Bobcat. Bill Harr and DLN have done dinette builds as well. http://www.wanderthe...?showtopic=1162 is DLN's work. Dimensions on ours are pretty close to what is in my drawing. Marty, Jeff, and Don made...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Your dinette seat dimensions

    Custom dinette design still under way here. Camper is mid-build and I need to finalize dinette measurements. Looks like seat height will likely be 24" to match the the camper ledge or "leaf". I've mocked it up, but I'd like to hear from those of you with some"seat time" in your campers...

    I didn't realize there were so many options for the 6600R. From http://www.rvvent.com/index.htm. They point out that their remote is wireless radio frequency (if that matters). Price seems comparable. We offer a choice of 4 lid colors: White (No light through it), White Translucent (some white...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Interesting Water Can

    I've been looking at this exact item because my shell design - which I think is a lot like yours brett13 - doesn't allow for much of a water tank in the sink cabinet. Would the standard 12v pump (or a manual pump) have any difficulty moving the water +/- 3 feet in a non-pressurized system...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Custom camper project part 1: spec and design

    For me the height of the seat is mostly determined by my desire to store a tuffy box under it. This means that the seat is 19 inches tall without a cushion. It was comfortable at that height but I should throw a cushion on there to be sure. I wouldn't change the height of the seats to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dinette seat height and top-down camper use.

    Thanks for all your helpful input. My truck bed has 22” side rails, which means 24” tall interior “ledges” in the ocelot. My planned dinette is front end, side-to-side, which means min. 24” tall dinette seats for the lower bed to expand fully which is pretty much mandatory. A 54” top-down...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Propane and Wave 3

    Good point and thanks for the correction. Sounds like plenty of capacity while being vented and still removable. Not bad.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Propane and Wave 3

    It's a small tank, but would still probably last awhile. Thoughts? thanks. http://www.go2marine...ct.do?no=93269F According to the manufacturer, the wave 3 would burn the 1lb locker tank in 8hrs on the high setting. I guess that would be about 15 hours on low. I think the bracket is for a...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dinette seat height and top-down camper use.

    How many of you sit or eat inside your camper with the top down? I'm finalizing interior dimensions for my build-out and my proposed design uses a dinette seat height that will prevent sitting upright or eating inside with the top down. I don't expect a ton of "stealth" camping but we do pull...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Aluminum/composite bin rack systems?

    I've been thinking a roll out pantry might be a good use of limited cabinet space. http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/B000KFZEGU (just a sample, would obviously be shorter for camper use)

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Propane and Wave 3

    Just getting the furnace box (without the furnace) is a good idea, however it seems it's not a good use of space for something rarely used. I am planning on benches (that open for storage) running the length of the camper level with each window (I'm getting two windows). Along those lines, this...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Propane and Wave 3

    I am getting a Bobcat shell and am planning on getting the Wave 3 for heat. I was going to set it up on legs. My question is how do I setup the propane since I will have no vent? Does the propane tank need to remain outside when running the heater, or can I keep it inside and leave a window...

    I don't have a good source and I'll need to order it from Europe. Not sure which one yet. It's expensive but it's just so much better than whats available in the states I think I'll do it anyway. The flush-mount SMEV/Dometic appliances look very nice but are getting tough to find. Anyone...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Another custom design, also part 1 design

    Right on, if I was sticking to a traditional slide in I'd likely be looking at a floor plan like you have. The flatbed opens up the option to but the dinette in the back and not have to step over the lower bed to get to the top. When you getting the new unit? Ordered late December, hoping to...

    Sorta timely DD posted up his thread, I've been throwing together thoughts on doing a custom camper as well and have been studying up on the construction method I've been thinking about for a couple months. I've got a fairly good feeling on the concept there and the next step is to get some...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Why did you choose ATC over FWC

    Yeah I'm pretty sure they'll narrow down any camper to your liking. Although worth checking with them, I'm not sure this is necessarily true for ATC these days. When I talked to Marty recently about narrowing a Panther from 84" wide down to 80" at build time he said they either offered the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Anyone running a 4 door Tundra w/ 6'3" bed and 8 foot camper?

    Is anyone running a Grandby on the pre-'07 double cab? Someone must have tried it. I'd be curious about whether it needed any more suspension mods than the Tundras with Hawks.
