    Do you have a link for the cargo net? I looked in the Amazon products page at the bottom of this and the regular gfc thread and the only one I found was-
    $18 PowerTye 15in x 30in Extreme Duty Cargo Net with 5mm Premium Elastic - 3in x 3in Mesh and Rubber-Tipped Super Strong Metal Hooks - Black
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C9R2SCQ

    Does that seem right?

    It should be. I initially used the two d rings on the front wall of the camper also but it's not necessary.

    Yeah I ripped my bag the first time I pulled it out. I immediately went to get carabiners out of the garage.

    @ace7196 have you used your heater enough to get a decent idea of real world fuel use? The manual for mine (5kw) says .11-.64 liter per hour, which is anywhere from 5.9 to 33 hours of run time on a one gallon can and not very helpful.

    Also posted in the GFC thread. $40 dog barrier from Amazon. 4- hose clamps and pieces of bicycle inner tube to protect the powdercoat. Gets some big stuff out of the way and now I can remove the storage drawers and start building something different.

    This is awesome. So much better than the cloth Molle panel I’m using now!

    Cool. I ran a consumption check today and it worked out to about 470ml used in an hour. I have no idea what heat setting it was on though because the LCD controller shit the bed already. It still works to turn it on and off with the dedicated switch but the screen is blank so I can’t adjust anything else.

Took a little longer to make than anticipated.

    I sealed it all with epoxy and painted. I don’t want to leave it out in the rain for extended periods but it can handle some splash for sure.

    I installed a front bed rail. It’s bolted to that using the gfc nuts and the bolt in the middle of the bed.

    The end piece is off the top ‘bin’ because that’s where I’m going to put a switch panel for my lights.

    Next is installing lights.
