I should have taken pictures of the vent rerouted, i also finally got all of the new parts off the floor, I will take some full pictures.


The walls need another coat in spots, I quit painting when I decided to replace the floor. I was just going for the base coat, this stuff is very hard to get the sheen right, I need the right roller.



I have:
1………4”x6”x24’ 3/16 or Ό
1………3”x6”x24’ 1/4
4……… 3”x6”x24’ 3/16
1………3”x6”x12’4” 3/16
1………3”x5”x10’4” 3/16
1………3”x5”x8’ 3/16
1………3”x2”x93 3/16
4………3”x2”x97” 3/16
1………3”x2”x 76” 5/32
3………3”x2”x97” 5/32
4……….2”x4”x32.5” 5/32
1……….2”x4”x58” 5/32
1……….2”x4”x89” 5/32
2……….2”x4”x93 5/32
I’m guessing on the thickness of the metal, it seems right.
4………56”x9.5”x26.5” new tanks with no holes
1………60”x30”x18” new tank, holes in top left corner on the end side.
1………30”x60”x-9” with another 36”x48”x-9” section attached, forming a flat “L” ( holes and sensors on the 30”end side). I was planning on cutting the big tank in to two tanks. It's a very hard plastic, and it looks like you can cut and patch it. It has fiberglass resin type stuff on the inner seem of the "L".


I’m thinking of using the 26000 btu basement A/C or the two 15000 basement A/C. I’m trying to figure a way to fit it in with the radiators getting good air. I didn’t measure them, but I will look it up. I could put them where the penguins were going to be, and put a 36”x6 vent on both sides and a vent on the bottom. I could scrap that plan and move it to the front. I could give up the freezer, or if I moved the freezer a few inches and had a bigger couch, the A/C could be behind the tongue. I would have a gap between the motorcycle deck and the airstream. That should let the air out and keep the water away from the floor, unlike in the original rear bumper.

I will also have the old frames worth of metal. I can trade out with the scrap yard 2 mins down the road.

I'm also hoping to get a pile of angle iron cheap.

berrr.

Ahh!!! I think melted my electrical. I had a spaceheater running and now I have no power on that run. The real scary part is, no breakers are flipped and it's not melted at the plug.

My friend called this morning, he said he's buying new welder.

I think the beams will be stacked, with 2x2 sitting across them, running from c-channel to c-channel. The bottom supports made of 3"x6". Dropping the tanks from the bottom, with the last tank sliding in from the back. 18" deep tank between the axles. I will do cad soon.

I mainly came on here to say this. If I were to keep the rear bath, I could easily put a seat over the seat in the shower. A piece of corean could hang over the edge and make it a bigger seat.

Remember my truck, I plan to finally get it back tomorrow! $300 labor, $850 for parts. The parts normally would have cost $1700. All of that because I looked at a Prevost. I think I will keep my eyes on the road and not cheat on my AS.
