Ocelot Build - Quick and Dirty

[beartoothclimb]

I drove down to Reno to pick up my Ocelot shell last week. It was a good 24 hour non-stop trip.

First I'd like to say thanks to Marty for meeting me and helping me put the camper in. He pretty much gave me advice on camper setup and everything I would never think to ask for almost two hours.

I'll try to take pics of my build but it is going to be pretty simple as I'm trying to keep things light.

Ordered a furnace and stove but not much else. I plan on putting in a few storage areas to set my action packers on and my ARB fridge.

Congrats on your new Ocelot! Looking forward to seeing more pics and trip reports.

Jeff & Marty started our Panther build this week and were scheduled for pickup in about three weeks. It's pins & needles time right now for us.

Put some juice to the back. Ran 2 gauge wire to a shutoff-->cole hersee isolator-->duracell deep cycle battery. Ran 8 gauge back to the camper.

Ran some 10 gauge from my battery under the hood. Built a box for storage and for the action packers to set on.

Put in some automotive carpet.

...and I'm done!!

What is the access panel for in your photo above? The wooden panel just below your power distribution block?

I'm guessing access to the tie-down point to secure camper to truck?

Thanks!

Your guess is correct.
We've all got them, however, some are swing down doors with hinges and a latch.
