Vagabond Drifter Camper Buildout and Mods

I thought about flag terminals, but they exit to the side rather than the top/bottom, and I can't see them working very well with the switches side by side...
I'll have to remember to get some inside info from Iggy on Thurs.

 

PS, the logo is backwards

So that looks like a great job getting those in, but the suspicions are correct. The panel is too shallow for Carling switches.

Here is our first prototype of a bluesea panel to hold two outlets and 3 carling switches. This is one we gave to @MJonaGS32



It's funny you ask becuase I just redesigned the panel. It will look like this now.

Ping me, side by side works you just have to get creative when they are that close.

 

Wife said she missed the RTT ladder... so I whipped up a hitch step to make it easier to climb into the camper. Now to build the drawer system to make climbing up into the top of the camper easier...

 

Damn, I've got a real knack for that. Also welded the R's backwards on my Relentless bumper kit...

 

Well let me just pass off my shipping info...

 

Getting started..

Thought I ordered a blue voltmeter but whatever..

 

Couple more mods

 

Velcro?

 

Just a carpet material from Home Depot - it's like $20. Attached via spray adhesive and staple gun.

 

@danneskjold how bout a side shot with your new @SCSPerformance wheels

 

Those who have insulated the vagabond, what spray adhesive did you use?

 

What lights are those?

 

@Baja Designs Angle Flush Mount Squadron Sport. Available from Vagabond!

 

Got my L track mounted - realized the long piece wouldn't fit with the Baja light so used a couple 12 inch pieces I had laying around. Where are people getting the aluminum bar?

Got some of the switches mounted in too...took about 30 minutes to get the fan working because I didn't realize it needed to be open to work - manuals are oppressive tbh..

 

This is cement!!

OnlineMetals has a pretty good selection and they’ll cut it to length for you. Prices are ok if you wait for the 15-25% off discount codes which they put out like every other week. Also save on shipping by picking it up direct from them if you happen to be back in Seattle soon.
I got some 1x3 radius (rounded corner) bars to use on my roof L-track as cross bars, but you probably want something smaller for those side mounts.

Picked up some extrusion to hide the holes I drilled trying to mount my awning

 

What thickness do you recommend?

 

In some deep irony the holes I drilled for the ARB awning, which didn't work for the awning, fit the extrusion perfectly! Just have one hole I need to patch up.

If they make a 4x1 extrusion that would fit even better.

 

1.875” hole spacing for the ARB awning. Wish you would have had that one at our shop 2 weeks ago!



Installed @Anderson ’s last night.
