Hi all, Need to pick brains for a moment. My M1010 project is slowly moving along and I am getting close to the point I need to attach the inner wall panels. I have researched a few things but really don't have a clear winner on what to use. I am using .090" FRP panels to do the ceiling and...

Hi all, I am trying to source a Manchester propane tank model 6815. Google searches has not found anyone with them in stock and was just putting out if anyone has a source for this specific model. This fits the space I need exactly, with the most capacity I can get. Any help would be...

Hi all, so I have been slowly working on my M1010 project (aka Desert Turtle, see my link in sig) and am at a project crossroads. I have already purchased most of big (read expensive) parts for the internal camper build and am getting ready to start with the roof raise so we can stand up...

Hi all, I have finally fully gutted my M1010 ambulance and am getting ready to start building up the interior. The box is all aluminum using Z channel stud walls and roof, skinned in sheet aluminum. I am planning to use XPS (if I can find locally, which I am having a hard time of) or EPS foam...

Hi all, So I have a question about a decision I am dealing with. We had a FWC popup prior to our current M1010 ambulance. Because of the popup, we had no problem standing in the old rig. The M1010 box is only 65" tall and we are both 69" tall, so we cannot stand fully upright to cook, wash...

Not mine or any affiliation but looked like an interesting van. Add a U-Joint 4x4 kit and it could be a fun setup. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3362905580482312

Hi all, So my M1010 (Desert Turtle) project is in the planning phase and I am working on figuring out some of the electrical. For those who do not know, the M1010 has a dual alternator system to provide 24 volts for the starting system and a couple systems that are related to the ambulance box...

In following with some other "Turtle" builds like Turtle Expedition and the Mountian Turtle M1010 build, I bring you Desert Turtle, our '84 M1010. Actually this is my second M1010. The first build got started but at that time I decided to go a different route and bought a Dodge Ram and FWC...

Hi all, I am looking to dive back into the camping world again. My biggest requirement for a new camper setup (based on our last two rigs and the one thing we really didn't like) is being able to put an actual full or queen sized home mattress into the rig. The wife and my biggest complaints...

Hi all, I am clearing out my magazine collection and am putting up my collection of Overland Journal magazines. These are in very good to like new condition. Most only read through one time. This collection is from the very beginning edition up to when I let my subscription lapse in late...

This trip had it roots started back in Jan. 2013 when a small group of us made a trek to the Saline Valley hot springs. That trip only included a overnight stop on our travels for that trip. As we all were soaking in the tubs, comments were made that we really need to do a trip and spend more...

Having always loved the Rugar 10-22 rifle for a nice plinker/small varmant gun, when I saw this new model, I knew I had to have one. It's the new 10-22TD (Take Down) that features a quick release barrel. It allows you to break down or put together the rifle in a matter of seconds but packs...

I am helping a very good friend with the sale of his Wrangler. This rig is setup nice and would be great as is or add a little more ExPo bling for a nice adventure rig. This is no mall crawler but a well setup rig for daily driving to hard core offroading. He is selling it because of health...

Hey guys, just saw this on another board and thought it might be of interest to others. Scosche now has a dual USB charging port that supplies 2.1 amps per port, which will charge 2 iPad at once (or other devices). I know many have found a lot of the adapters that plug into your...
