There were washers, but they were too small for the soft material. They were meant for the steal tank mounts underneath, certainly not the correct ones for thin and soft aluminum. Although I believe that is also partly an Alu-Cab problem since there don't seem to additional/different washers in...

The truck is empty and the house feels like we are building out a fifth wheel ... Currently, the tank is out as well ... and we are pretty unhappy with what we found our installer (TinyRig in Southern California) has done to the mount of the bags seen above: This is just plain...

So, the sprint to the finish line has begun - we've started taking out the furniture again to fix problems and mistakes, hook up the water system and then do final assembly in the next two weeks. That should give us about two more weeks for testing and last minute changes before an upcoming...

Not all that much happening right now, I'm out of commission with RSI and some back issues (slowly getting better) and my wife is busy sewing more mosquito netting for the side window – it's quite a patchwork there due to our high furniture piece which has outside usage. On a separate note...

Thank you, we work very hard to get to professional (or better) looking and working results. We've seen so many "professional" jobs that are totally whacky, it's really not fun anymore. Even reputable companies cut a lot of corners to meet reasonable price expectations, or charge insane amounts...

Heater installed:

So, door interior mostly sorted. Just a mounting an Element Fire extinguisher above the bag, and it's done:

Today we started installing some of the new parts. We wanted to move the Redvision Display to the door panel since it's hard to reach inside the camper, so that's what we started with. Unfortunately, we had to take out the GP Factor panel and even take it apart to get to the ethernet cable for...

And powdercoated: We'll install most of them over the weekend, then the door and the heater will be DONE. ;-) And a massive shout-out to our local powdercoater JIP Finishing! They turned this around in 24h with amazing quality at a very reasonable price. If you are in the SF Bay Area and...

Current set of custom designed parts in this build:

So far we have mounted the heater unit just to the Canopy Camper skin. Since this is fairly thin aluminium, we decided to support the heater with brackets mounted to the side extrusions: This should be fine now even on corrugated roads. Tomorrow we'll bring a whole bunch of parts to a local...

And the last few bits for the Webasto install: Proper venting also through the cap: UV protection for fuel line and rubber fuel hose connectors: This is a velcro close neoprene strip. Likely not the final verison of this, but it'll do. Thursday all the new metal parts to to the...

Finishing the tent:

Mosquito tent done: Big enough for two people to sit comfortably at a table and eat or just relax. Set up is about 3 or 4 minutes for one person.

All still available.

This is still available!

And more parts being tested and finalized:

So, back working on the Jeep again after the time in Europe. Testing parts I had designed and ordered before I left, the rear door really is slowly coming together. Brackets for Rotopax: Mounted: The bear container on the left doesn't stick out as much as it looks like here, this photo...

Two more photos:

Yeah, happy do so. We've been traveling around Portugal last summer a bit: Some fun trips, mostly in the Southern half.
