Lowly Update: As cabinetry component preparation continues the various 3D printed parts I've designed to integrate into the plywood cabinets were needing to be fabricated for test fitting purposes. Mount brackets for the two types of water filter wrenches: Mount bracket for the 50 micron...

Lowly Update: Part of the shop has been turned into a cabinet preparation workspace. The backside of a multitude of these components will need additional dados (the side that was faced down on the CNC router table). These will be achieved by layout drawings off the solid model, straight...

Lowly Update: Just back from another trip down the Grand Canyon and the CNC router was busy while I was away. A van full of 12mm and 18mm Baltic birch plywood pieces was waiting my return: Many of these parts need secondary operations (bevels on the table saw or blind slots on the back...

Lowly Update: Exterior electrical work completed on the habitat. 3D printed custom mounting caps for attaching perimeter lighting to the T-slot extrusions on the habitat's edges. Mounted them up and ran the wiring - was able to hide the wiring inside the caps for a clean look and no snag...

I'm still here and chipping away at the truck. Had a busy summer season so most of the work was digital in finalizing the interior with all of the components finding their place. Lots of purchases so components could be measured (and digitally modeled) to make sure their placement and...

There are a couple of options that I found for this type of 12V AC. UndermountAC.com was who I eventually chose. They have several setups to chose from and I ended up getting the 12V system that also allows for a hydronic heater loop to be plumbed into the same distribution blower box that the...

Lowly Update: Purchased a 12V air conditioning unit from UndermountAC.com to provide more creature comfort to both the habitat and cab of the truck. The A/C comes in three separate parts that can be mounted in different locations from each other. The compressor pump along with the condenser...

Lowly Update: Lots of work happening but nothing getting "finished". Here's one: When I purchased the Carefree of Colorado awning I had to decide on what mounting brackets to use - there are several options for a roof-top mount. I ended up designing my mounting system using their "flat roof"...

Lowly Update: Diesel tank, gray water tank and under-habitat storage boxes will be mounted to the sub-frame cross bars. An additional set of "cross bars" was needed under the front end of the habitat to handle the loads of full diesel and gray water tanks. Fabricated one of these bars to be...
