Camping

It was good to get out in this thing. We did see one Tacoma with a RTT and it was not being used...

Almost ready to roll

Water tank installed and tested. Wired up pump and started moving some stuff in to get a sense of how to pack it.

Electrical system needs a couple days to be where I want it but for now it does everything we need.

Tent and tray mounted

Need to get this thing ready for a Labor day outing so I got the tent and new front tray mounted. Tray is going to hold the cooler and propane. Tray needs some paint or I fear it will disintegrate because chinesium.

Electrical System Mock Up

I started mocking up the electrical system. Amounted the charge controller and ran some basic wiring to hook up a battery. I I also installed a shore power connector and a battery charger. I need to go through and clean it all up because right now it is hacked together.

I haven't been keeping up on this. That's pretty cool, definitely not the lazy man's way of doing it which is to buy one pre made.
