I thought you spent most of your time outdoors, you can ignore that remark, just being Smitty!

Gotta cool it off to head to bed at 4am

You got plans for a generator and AC later? You'll have the option of opening the rear doors and would be cool to have a screen panel and leave the doors open all night??????

We have a Honda genny but this will have 2 8d deep cycles and like the bus I will run 500w solar. Plenty of juice.
No AC there’s just no need, we’ve had a roof mount sitting that never installed because we were out riding not hiding from the temps.
Yes I’ve got a couple screens in my eBay watch list.
This is what we’ll probably go with.

Knew you were way ahead of me!

You could do a fantastic fan. It would help move air and control the temps without ac.

Absolutely. Even a box fan to the inverter would be sufficient for a quick cool.

Blacked out mirrors,wipers and emblems. Seems to really need tint from windows and windshield strip. Also kicking the idea of 54” lightbar laying around. Think that’ll make production.
Gotta get the HID h4 headlights in yet but plan on separate wiring and I want a floor high beam switch.

It’s staying. Be good for getting into camp late.

We soaked a couple of pieces in water for 60 days, measured before and after, put in a vise and tried to break it with a hammer parallel to the grain, measurements were the same and we didn't break it, but no heat.

Since bamboo is round, how do you get it to lay flat like a board?

Got both water tanks in. I measured actual volume to be 26/40 so 66gal. Simply used 2x2 screwed down with expanding foam for cushion. Use foam for lots to keep things tight through vibrations, worked excellent in the bus. Also used some bubble wrap at the base.
Adjusted two of the water level meters, med to high spot on small tank and added a new high level into the other tank for fairly accurate readings.
The pump is adjustable and easy access. Water fill is in as are both air vent tubes. Outdoor shower fixture (black plastic as with everything else) is in but none of the pressured water is installed yet.

Fill was placed as high as is comfortable to fill and the shower is out of kids reach by themselves but at a comfortable hight for usage.

Had to change out water intake so it’ll now fill at the base from the larger tank to the smaller one. Also water drain spot for both tanks, the T coming off.
