Daaaang. The bathroom looks great and so does that dashboard. I see you made yourself a cup holder, which I agree is highly important. I didn't know it was possible to do that to a dashboard.

Wow, you've come a long way in the past year! I really enjoyed my binge just now. I wish I ran my wires before insulating  . Keep up the good work!

Your work is amazing. Thanks for the great pictures. Agree that the cup holder is very cool, and was especially impressed with the dash mounted water knob. Ya never know when you'll need a good warm glass of water...... you can smack me later (-:

For A/C I have a roof unit over the drivers area. 15000 BTU.
Then for heating I reinstalled the heater fans under the dash and left a vent hole. I will set a big buddy heater in front of the vent hole and pump heat into the fans that are blowing the heat up through the defrost vents.
Not entirely sure how this all will work, probably not perfectly, but I can adjust as I go.

I just watched your youtube video on the progress you made, it looks great. I like the way the toilet turned out. Where did you get the toilet top with the urine diverter.

Big Buddy = BAD idea for defrosting... thats a LOT of moisture with unvented propane flame you will be pushing onto your windshield causing it to fog instantly.. you didnt put a Heater core into the dash? plus a breeze around a buddy is not a good idea either... that causes the flame to burn with more emissions..

I've watched all your YT videos and your build has been a real inspiration! I'm just getting started with a somewhat similar platform - 2001 Thomas Saf-T-Liner ER. The paint looks like it turned out very nice and I love your butcher block countertop!
Do you have an anticipated end date for the project?

Thanks! I am glad you like the videos. I am working on uploading one now, but here at Starbucks wifi, i do not think it will get uploaded tonight.
I do not think this project will ever be done! haha. However the plan is to hit the road next week, take the bus up to Colorado, then up to Canada to finish the build at my Dads. It has got far too hot to be productive here in Texas!

Wow cabinets.
Nice looking rig ! Not too much before you'll be on the road.
Best pic is the exhausted kid with paint on his hand. Memories being created.
