New ATC shell build

[jasona]

Picked this new girl up about 2 months ago from ATC. I finally got her all together and looking good. I'll put some more photos up on the build and put a few how tos together once I get back from camping!

Propane box is a air tight box made by a white water rafting company out of Idaho. I mounted a retaining ring to hold the a standard 20lb tank. I like the idea of a 20lb take for easy late night exchanges at gas station when necessary. I also mounted my regulator in the box and ran a copper line out the bottom using a 3/8 through hull fitting. To vent the tank I used a 2in abs shower drain and run it down using flexible pvc pipe and out the bottom where the truck overhangs the bed rail.

I used a propex 2800 heater in my last build and loved it. To mount it I used two large L brackets and secured it using webbing and clips.
I ran the intake and exhaust vents Under the propane box and out the wall using propex through hull fitting. I came up a little short on tubing and had to drop an extra 100 bucks on the stainless steel tubing (ouch).

Through hull propex thing.
I supprised myself with the innovation on this boot dryer, not to toot my own horn. I started with a 2 in tee to split the ducting (sorry no pic it’s buried under the heater). I used a 3 in shop vac attachment to regulate the flow to the boot dryers.
Reduced the size using a 3in to 2 3/8 silicone boot to fit the 2in abs pipe. Built the dryer out of 2in abs and used a hose clamp and small chain to secure it.
When not in use it stows away nicely under the cabinet made by ATC and swivels out for drying boot and gloves.
I found that all the flow was going to the last of the four vents on the boot dryer so I put a small amount of expanding foam in them and then removed it slowly after it dried to get a desired flow.
I spend 6 weeks in Alaska in March and April snowboarding and dry boots and gloves are a must have in the morning for me. I’ll post some more of my build in the next few days.

That's very innovative. It's great that you can build something to fit your specific needs.

Cool idea with the propex heater and boot dryer. Betting a lot of folks on here could use something like that.
Nice camper.

 

[Horseshoe]

Love it!

Looks nice.... SLT by chance? Think I saw this rig up there last Tuesday visiting my son. Enjoy!

 

[jasona]

I live in north lake but spend a little time down in SLT so probably was.

Well, that does it. I'm going to order my Propex today.
Thanks for the show and tell.
