I’m going to install a claw foot tub and a propane poop burning toilet. I have the tub. I’m going to mount it on pipes under the lip. Think men’s gymnastics, parallel bars.

I’ll find the $$ for the poop burner somewhere. No black tank....priceless.

Oh, and that slido sliding door mentioned above.

Finally finished the barn doors so I can get the ATV's inside.
It's sorta like a forty foot van now.


...I'd like to add a valve[s] to dump the air out of bags to make it nicer to load and unload.

I haven't done much but, so far, either the old skis I'm using as door handles or the battery slide upgrade:

Thanks all...
John, don't need another sideline at this point. Brother and I keep busy with all kinds of weird and wonderful projects.


JD, without cluttering this page/thread with my crap there's a few pics in my MULE BUS thread. There's also a few other odds n sods that we created to make things a little different.



Cadillac, to funny...thanks again.


...and anyone I missed, thanks again.

Keeping the dog lubed up is a good thing ..love dogs, don't have time to properly look after one.

Mine will probably be 2 banks of triple bunks across from each other that will convert to 2 couches for a 2nd sitting area.

i'd like to see the design. I considered that and decided I didn't have enough headroom. For the first back-of-the-envelope calculation, I assumed 6 feet of useable space under the curved roof. Then, I had to come up 12" for the wheel well. That leaves 20" per bunk. If i used a standard 6" RV mattress, plus 1" for a bed frame, that only left 13" of headroom between bunks.... even going superthin mattresses and moving the bunks so they aren't over the wheel well, I couldn't get comfortable with the math.

Are you raising the roof?

I’m doing a “self-cleaning” glass from Pilkington above the master loft space. The glass will span nearly the entire bed. We’re calling it Stargazer.
