  1. Happy easter to everyone and I hope everyone isn't going too crazy self isolating! I had time on my hands sitting at home to clean up the propane tank!

    It was looking pretty nasty, definitely too nasty to put back into the Toyota with how pretty the truck is gonna be!

    Many hours of sanding later, not to mention a 6 foot breaker bar to get the valve removed. Also cleaning the interior of the tank and purging residual gas out before I started grinding on it near the openings.

    It cleaned up pretty dang well considering! New decals and valves are on the way, hopefully it passes inspection after I take it in to get re-certified!

    Also starting work on the overcab bed platform. It seemed like a good opportunity to design some under bed storage compartments, something that has always seemed really useful. The one piece mattress will lift on a sheet of plywood with the assistance of some gas struts to do the lifting, giving access to storage compartments.

     

    We had also started getting lights installed in the rear. We will have the rear section lights on a switch with dimmer, the bathroom lights on a dimmer switch, under cabinet lights on a dimmer, and the bed area on a dimmer as well. They're obviously all LED! Also still trying to decide what I want to use for final ceiling panels.

    Looks beautiful. I hate it when people get rid of bathrooms. The need for a bathroom when traveling is what got me started with motorhomes. Daughter has IBS and on the road and in campgrounds the bathrooms can be disgusting. Love the cassette toilet too.

    Agreed, bathroom is 100% necessary. 

  3. You guys must be in a hurry taking interstates on a Toyota camping trip. I'd never get on the interstate in a yota home unless I had no other choice!  Take the back roads, slow down, and have a safe place to pull on the side of the road when stuff breaks! The back roads are the good scenery anyways.

    Odyssey, 

    The last 2 pages were not attached to my Owners Manual. That’s the information I was looking for...Thank you 😎

    Now,I am trying to get the original layout for under carriage systems and lines/wiring.

    Research is never ending 🙏

     

    To think I uploaded that like 7 years ago, time is flying! Glad people are still finding use of it.

    Just a friendly suggestion: I’ve done a lot of peel-n-stick floors, with many good results, but I would never do it again for an RV: wide temp changes cause that stuff to lift, buckle, and spread apart. Vinyl sheet or click-lock plank would be my preference, in hindsight. 

     

    Agreed, I just ordered a one piece marmoleum sheet for my project. It ships 79" inches wide and whatever length you need.

    Wow this sucker might just do the trick. It looks identical to what's currently on the truck. I really appreciate your help! And everyone else's help. I will probably buy this and give it a go!!!!

     

    I do a LOT of buying and selling on Ebay. Know that since he listed it as "new" this guarantees it should be fully working and functional. If you get it installed and something is up with it you will be covered by Ebays buyer protection program and good for a full return.
