Ok so been really busy and really hot, average afternoon temp has been hovering in the triple digits, so things have been a bit slow going.
Starting framing in the box that the battery is going to live in as well as storage,
I used this poly sheeting that I got at Home Depot for the walls, I've got it hanging from the top then tacked here and there, it's supposed to be able to float a bit. My biggest problem with it was not cutting the space needed for the trim, I was constantly going back and having to trim off another 1/8th.
I filled in the lower fridge opening and screwed closed the old propane tank access door. this pic I'm still putting in insulation, by the way, I hate that stuff I itched for a week.
decided to just box in the bench, this will work as a single bed or an oversized couch, we are going to have pillows and bolsters that can be moved around. the platform is 27x 79
I've wired in the old light fixtures, I'll get some LED bulbs for them this week, I've got LED strips that go around the top of the bottom section that change color and look pretty cool. the 110V is just two outlets from the 110v on the side of the camper, just direct wired it, it will be rarely used. Have 2 USB 1 12V and voltage meter in the center panel as well. Sink will be fed from water container on the top cabinet you can just see to the left.
I left half of the vent for the old fridge, I'll make a slide down cover for it so in the winter running the Mr Buddy heater we can crack it for 02 to the heater.
rear shot, the poly wall sheeting isn't tacked down yet or the window trim
.
another shot of the rear corner, we've just left it open to use for things like chairs and tarps ect.
This is a interesting thing I haven't seen before but I'll bet someone else did it, I have read about how converting to a pullout bunk the bunk can slide forward during the night creating a gap. I make a 45 degree cut on the end board so that when it's in the position it naturally locks into place as a happenstance the old brace fits in the groove and the pull out sits even on the shelf.
ok so time to play with carpet for the benches and the sleeping area. flooring and cabinet doors, I think I can see the light and only three weeks past schedule.
