ATC Lynx long bed camper on Tacoma

[chnlisle]

Hi everyone,
Many of you know I love my long bed ATC Ocleot on my short bed Ram. One of my new customers David like it too and chose to put an ATC Lynx shell (the long bed version of a Bobcat) On his Tacoma. He loves the extra room and the build out that he's doing is really nice. Here are a few pix with more to come when it's finished.

As promised here are the rest of the pix of my client David's build out of his new ATC Lynx. The pictures don't do his workmanship justice. This first set is his modular interior set up.

He also added solar, Thule rack rails as well as breaklights, taillights and turn indicators.



This really is a top notch build. David is a great guy and it was a pleasure doing business with him.

I like the cabinets, nice work. Not sure about the propane tank inside the camper. There is a vent on the tank for heat and it can get hot inside the camper, also the regulator could leak. Also right next to the batteries (elec spark). May not be against any laws, but not something I would do. Most campers have the tanks in a sealed to the camper vented to the out side enclosures.

The propane and batteries in the living compartment is a terrible idea and the propane is definitely against DOT regs. They both need to be vented to outside and totally sealed from the inside. Use and charging of the batteries will vent gases and as said above, propane bottles vent when temperature fluctuates even if the hoses are airtight, which they often aren't. This is a dangerous setup, period.

Have to AssUme the batteries are AGM. If they are OK, if not very bad set up.

I am curious as to the rear view visibility.
Can you see around that thing?

As well as you can see around a Bobcat. It's 18 inches longer not wider.

I'll take that as a yes?
