Title: Rain, rain. At least it gives me time to work on the toy hauler Post by: Grumpy on July 12, 2013, 07:02:04 PM Got the ceiling and the led lighting installed. Put the base for the upper cabinet in, mounting the roof top A/C tomorrow. Then starting on the base cabinets, so I can install the stove, sink fridge etc. Taking some time, but my work is a damm site cheaper that buying one already built.

I was looking at a long and tall 2500 Dodge Sprinter today with a living space in the front half and open storage in the back.... but unclear if it had 8 feet for a Valkyrie back there.

At least it gives me time to work on the toy hauler Post by: Grumpy on July 12, 2013, 07:56:21 PM This one is a little cramped with the bikes in it, but room for 2 interstates side by side, and my sons sport bike in the rear. Going to install folding bunk beds on the left rear side, and a folding dining set on the right that makes into a bed. Both sets fold up against the wall and only take 7 to 8 inches of space when stored. I have wheel chocks that unclip from the floor and 12 recessed tie down brackets that are flush in the floor when not in use. Takes a few min to unfold every thing, but should work well for camping, cheaper that motels.

Don't think it is a problem on this one, 7 ft ceiling, rear door is 6' 4 inches high in the center.Don't ask how I know, but I got the scars I can show ya. As long as I don't stand on the pegs. :coolsmiley: Title: Re: Rain, rain.

I know a fellow down here who did something similar. It's looking good.

Looks like your as good at Woodworking as Machining! Are those LED's in the ceiling? Yep, led panels, 42 leds in each. They do a nice job, lights every thing up but not harsh.Bought them off of Aliexpress, china site like ebay. $40 for 10 of them including shipping. Title: Re: Rain, rain.
