New ATC Ocelot Shell Buildout

[Ambling1]

Location of propane and co detector next to inside propane locker, and utensils and spice rack.

Storage in dinette seat.

Side dinette seat back. This is still in the design process. The rear support sometimes acts like a deadfall trap. Otherwise, works well and is comfortable.

More detail of dinette seat.

Table post and support detail.

 

[Ambling1]

Close up of water tank valves and access port. I used heavy duty magnetic catches that work well, and piano hinges. I used a lot of piano hinge in this project.

 

[Ambling1]

Cabinet doors and drawers. I have quite a bit of storage area.

 

[Ambling1]

Full extension drawer under stove.

 

[Ambling1]

Water tank, battery, battery isolator, solar controller, fuse panel, turnbuckle access port, and storage all in one under seat box.

I like the storage, can't have too much. Also ingenious side dinette, like the seat back. Do you have dowel or velcro on the dead fall holding the seat back?

 

[Ambling1]

Remove table post and drop tabletop into place for the stealth sleeping platform.

 

[Ambling1]

This trifold foam futon mattress fits perfectly on the platform.

Time to head back outside. Removed the backup camera from the tailgate and installed it on the bottom overhang of the camper. Installed a large 3/4" plywood step on the bumper drop area. Also, I found this book to be a very good read.

Installed a quick connect valve from the water tank drain line to the outside rear floor. Now when in camp I have access to gravity fed water when outside. This was a must for me. I use it to fill kettle, wash hands, shampoo hair, ect.

Your woodworking is great.
I like the way you matched the grain pattern.
You can be very proud of the workmanship you have put into the camper.
Looks terrific.

Bill, Thanks for the ideas for the deadfall seat back support. I will try the Velcro version first. As far as being ingenious, thankyou, but I think I stole the seat back design from somebody, maybe Bisleybud.

I've really enjoyed watching this come together - although I don't have the skills or time to make something like this happen, I'm gald that Marty at ATC is working with me to make some of my customization to the shell we ordered come to life...great job Ambling!

 

[Ambling1]

Thanks Frank, I probably wouldn't have thought to grain match. Again I read posts in this forum that mentioned this. All the build threads were invaluable.
