ok now i continue my post from the rear suspension conversion
the next thing is i needed a construction to lift up my spare tire, my enduro bike and a big box for more storage
i have draw the whole thing on CAD
ok that looked good and i build it with construction tubes and some sheet metal parts that a factory lasered and bendet all parts are made of stainless steel
this is one of a edgebracket from the platform
ok it looks it would realy work
then i have mountet a 230v winch on the top for winch the platform up and down
i have take a 230v winch because it was cheap and i dont need to use big eletric cables for this
now i can storage my things in a good high clearance for better offroad use

hello everybody !
here a little update for today
the next thing was is to build two boxes in the rear left and right for more storage
first i had draw it on the computer and designed it
it must fit to the fenders and rear it must have a slope angle ... and i made it also from stainless steel
the next thing was i need hot water for wash the dishes and for my shower
my idee was to weld a custom warm water boiler
because i have a little room behind my closet and i would put the boiler there
i put a 2000w electric heating coil in it and also i install a common engine
coolant diesel heater from webasto underneath the boiler
after i was finish with the welding i had made a pressure test

Beautiful. You do nice work.

Stunning work. One observation, I have a ship bought surecal calorifier which for all intents and purposes is the same as yours. However, the biggest difference is the insulation around mine. It means the tank stays hot for 48h or more. Definitely worth thinking about wrapping yours in some insulation to increase the efficiency.

Hello !
here a little update
Now it's winter and time to use the woodstove
the exhaust from the woodstove is made of stainless steel
and i made a handflap for heat regulation
at the first testdrive some branches of trees got stuck between the campershell and the awning
now it needs protectors
i weldet a protector made of aluminium and i put a working light underneath
this lights are good for driving backwards and also for working in the night
