I have had her out the last few weekends for medical contracts. Still doing well, I got the tape off of the rear door finally. The mineral did it, and on the side I'll need that + a paint scraper.

I also have a shower curtain to hang up. Performing well thus far.

Well, the mineral spirits, paint scraper and some scrubbing removed the tape reside.

I also resealed the wet bath, I think it's been leaking around the base of the toilet.


And I used coming strip hooks to hang the new shower curtain.

I'll add pics next time she's up.

Got the inverter installed today. I don't think I'll use it much, and almost bolted it inside the battery compartment, but it was tight enough I'd have to pull it to access the batterys.

So under the table it went. I tested it all working, and then bolted it into place. Trimmed and cut the wires and ends, and taped the harness together.

Went to turn it on and nothing......

Go figure, after some digging turns out I had placed the plastic nuts that attach the ring terminals to the inverter backwards- turns out they screw on one way, but only function the other...go figure.

I also attached a picture of the mirror and compartment above the fridge.

The fridge is still temperamental. And kinda just cranking me off. I'll attack it another day.

Also, I will get a label maker and label all those wires- and do the same for the truck.

I reached out to Outfitter, planing to be back home next month. Planning to hit the ground running, it would be best to have parts waiting for me when i land.

lagun table leg ( see if they have a good price on them )
finish the full sides ( i will build and source )
second Bunk bed drawer fixed ( outfitter parts )
water pump- leaking- probably needs rebuilt ( amazon )

Id really like to get the cassette toilet installed ( and acquired ) and pull the standard before winter travel. ( outfitter, or Ebay, Amazon, panther rv, ect )

Outfitter did get back to me, and sent the items I requested.

Been knocking out some projects.

Rebuilt the shurflo pump, super easy to rebuild, and added an in line filter.

Got the lagun table leg, and installed it.

* edit- It would of been preferential to install the leg support in the middle, on the window side. W/o tearing up the dinette area, i had to improvise. It will work fine though

Also got the curtain for behind the sink, and hardware needed for the extra bunk bed.

Well I was trying to upload pictures, Tapatalk sucks- now trying to make me pay to become a VIP member to upload more than 1 image at a time. :/

I also painted the dinette table drop in, and all other pieces under the dinette.

I also coated the entire bottom of the tub with the same flexseal coating.


and, installed the bunk bed. You can see it took some custom trimming as the bed has a sagging x member. ( still seems super solid, but will keep an eye on them.

Got started on the solar,

Its an off brand- but had good amazon reviews, and i was able to get everything for $150, 200 watt solar panels, charge controller, wiring, during a black friday sale. Figured worst case scenario, they dont output as much as they say. If I have to do something different I can. I was looking at the Renology 160 watt panels, and victron blue tooth charge controller originally and would of spent 3 times that. I felt it was worth a try.

Flexible panels mounted, used 4 inch eternabond tape all around, making sure to clean and dry where they were going.

got that finished as it started raining, if it stops today ill finish it up, and drill a hole in the roof, and wire to controller.

The critters were not impressed with the mess and lack of attention,

I have a solar port that ill install in the roof, with strain reliefs and its up off the roof a bit. Electrical will enter rear corner drivers side, ( there is already a cable sleeve in place)

Got it installed, she's already putting out juice. And it's super overcast.

I tore the thing apart to run wire, yanked out the fridge, parts of the floor access, pulled the battery 's and bored a hole in the battery box for cables. Using a strain relief I had from farming for a center pivot gear box motor. To keep it from getting cut on the aluminum.

Wrap the length in electrical tape.

And cleaned up a lot of other stuff

Mounted above the fridge right inside the door.

I ran the power cables down the sleeve, and wrapped them in white tape to " hide " them.

Pulled the shore plug this morning, left all the lights on. We will see what it does

Also, the peeling wall paper is bothering me.

I am thinking maybe pull the sections that are peeling and paint over all the wall papered areas?

White, blue, green? I am not much as an interior decorator.
