The Eagle Rising has landed!! Still working all the small items. Most importantly, The Eagle Rising is mounted again!!!!
Swapped the tailgate lock from the old tailgate, reinstalled the Ford emblem and cut/sealed the cap bottom edge. The other day, I finally....finalized the diesel heater. For real this time!! I decided to see how hot it will get in the sleeping area. I stopped the test at 112 degrees. Definetly won't be cold sleeping.
I tested filling up the water tank again as I wanted to test the propane water heater setup. Unfortunately I found 2 small leaks. I asked my wife how long does it take to shower and we agreed on 10-15 minutes. So I started a timer for a 15 minute hot shower. The max temp only got to 90-91 degrees with at 69 degree ambient temperature. It used 5-1/2" of water so that calculates to 17 gallons of water.
That means in the daily planning, showers are the day before refilling the water tank!
