    Very nice. You’ll love that combo. I see you got it from AVO as well.

    Mine is getting built this week as well...but I don't have any pics yet. Can't wait to be a contributor to the thread rather than just drooling over it! Looking good!

    In reference to the Camper on the floor to the right. It looks like the new units have the zip up rain fly. Super happy to see that!

    And, if anybody is interested...height for a stock OR with a canopy camper on it (so, this is on stock suspension, which probably has a little sag, but not a ton with just the camper on it...once the awning and shower cube go on...and some of the other stuff goes in, I am betting on a big more sag).

    Post 274 of this thread, on version 1 right now, it's getting rebuilt this winter to incorporate a more comfortable lounging spot (for when I wake up on cold mornings and let my wife sleep in). Also swapping the sliding the doors that hold the kitchen on the right side for drawers, adding some vertical storage in the back driver side corner, with a sink on top.

    Very nice man. Getting mine in a couple weeks. What battery you running? Having a hard time making a decision. Too many options not enough stock out there either :bananadead:

    So, I know you weren't specifically asking me, but to throw an option up, I'm doing a Lion Energy Safari UT 1300 (LiFePO4 - 105Ah). It will be in the camper, as the LiFePO4 don't like the extreme temps (like under hood), but it has a better profile for this type of use (at least for my use case).

    I went with a Renogy 100aH Lithium Iron Phosphate for my house battery.

    It has functioned great so far. Plenty of capacity for my use style, so it doesn't get drained too low on the daily. Can also mount in any orientation, which helps a lot with maximizing space.

    OGE duel battery system with a group 31 amg under the hood.

    We plan on living out of the truck so we will probably bump up to a 100ah battleborn or antigravity under the hood. Current set up works great when we move every day, not so great sitting for a while.

    If you were wondering (like I was before I got my Alu-cab) you can fit Jackery Solar panels on the shelf under the bed when the camper is closed up. Fits right in there perfectly.
