    Thanks! I keep wishing I had started to build it out sooner so i wouldn't be rushing so much (and turning down a ton of work right now I could be making extra play money doing). But... It is what it is and I'm starting to add projects to the "on the road" list that involve less tooling and more time.

    I sure want to and probably will.

    The mileage from the PNW is much less so the drive could be likely!

    If not a drive, I'll surely either cruise or fly up there from the Seattle or Vancouver area.

    I've got a gas one, thanks though. Almost time for an update on, tonight's progress.

    Almost.

    Ditched the seat back, needed to replace it.

    0519172155.jpg

    Found some eye bolts to use as bolts, guess i might need to tie something down.

    0519172155a.jpg

    I'll leave the stock divider, i won't gain much space by losing it, it'll only waste time.

    There will be more to add to that panel, but I'm going to work on, the sleeping platform since that'll be easier. Other than not having matching nuts/bolts.

    Gained a little space...

    Plan is for the space under the bed platform to hold soft bags with the tools to keep the weight centered and low.

    0519172157a.jpg


    Other plan is for an L shaped shelf at the window height from that panel. Not sure if i want it hinged or hard mounted.

    Front panel done. Likely the longest to do since i had to get the angle set and goofing around with making brackets to bolt it to the front seat bolt locations. Its solid.

    0520170110.jpg

    Next one will hinge off the back of this one, go midway through the foot area and will be able to be secured to the rear mounts for the front seat. A good amount of tool storage area under it.

    Final one will be rear most, bolt to the back seat bottom hinge brackets so i can access the under seat storage.

    Throw the memory foam topper on and be set when i want a quick or out of the weather place to sleep.

    Hope to knock that out early although i need more carpet to finish it. Next project is the water heater and gas mounting/plumbing.
