Yikes! I am behind on updates! I promise updates are coming! In the meantime, enjoy some videos.

Thank you very much to all of you for supporting our build and watching our videos. We are blown away by the momentum on YouTube and continue to have a ton of fun with this project. Episode 9 is up where we tackle the installation of the slide out fridge!

We've been working on getting all the mechanical systems installed, plumbed and wired. This has also included building a few of the cabinet boxes for the interior. Here you can see the kitchen (bike box) and dinette taking shape. We're using Alder plywood for the interior cabinetry. The...

I have a tough time ever "finishing" a project, something about that last 10% taking 90% of the time! But, we have been diligent about making sure we finish a portion of the build before moving on. We finished up the underbody boxes with a coat of Raptor Liner. This was our first experience with...

Thank you! Episode 7 is up!

After a few close calls with a rickety step stool it was clear that we needed a better way to get in and out of the camper before we could keep working on the interior. Here's what we came up with. Very happy with the product and it will make using the camper even more...

Thank you all for the support and for following along! Episode 5 is up! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMCvRxq4QdccLFEd53JSsRaGNk18nGeMF

We installed some porch lights, and for some reason I thought they should go about half way down the wall. Right at eye level. They are blinding and this will need to be changed. We've been working on getting everything done inside that needs to get done before we can add the interior...

Thank you! It drove much better with this set up than it did with the Lance 825 that was on it before. However, we still have a lot of weight to add.

We were able to get the truck done enough to drive it to our family Thanksgiving gathering. What a rewarding moment! On our way out of town we got the truck weighed again, 8180#. The weight without the bed was 7220#. The new weight included the rear bumper, shower pan and some misc tools that I...

Episode 4 is up. Thanks for following along!

Our next video is up! If you are enjoying following along make sure to subscribe.

It is offset to accommodate our interior layout and to avoid the seat belt mounting bracket for the backseat. It is as large as it needed to be for us to comfortably use. By keeping it small and not cutting into the back wall of the truck we can fit the water tank in the bench below it. It is...

The progress has been a little monotonous lately as we've been getting all the panels cut to size, wrapped, and installed. But, we did make progress on something else that's worth sharing The panel on the bottom of the bed area was made a little differently. We laminated two 1x.125 square...

Thank you for the compliments! I have been rolling around the idea of a small slide out porch that the stairs are attached to. Stairs can be used with the porch in or out. Yes outdoor shower is in the works. Super handy for washing the dogs and bikes. Also nice for rinsing off after a ride...
