Wife and I are converting an 08 Chevy Kodiak Ambu into a camper. It's work...

Here are some before and during pics... We've got 960 watts of solar and 2 Tesla battery packs for storage; 12v/24v/110v power and a generator; dual induction cooktop; 12/24/110v Frig; doing a porta potty at this point, but moving to an electric dry compost sort of thing soon I guess. I've got the electrical gutted as much as I need to, now I'm ready to run the circuits I want. I'm tearing into the interior as this point -- but none of this is really my thing, so it's going to be a slow-go for sure. It took me a week just to design and build all my solar mounts, etc - the panels are 2 way tilting, so that is what made it so difficult!

From another FNG in Colorado, that looks like a really fun project!
I recently bought a '95 4Runner for my son - it's amazing what _a lot of elbow grease_ can get done.
Post pics of the inside, too, when you get the chance.
