Lol thanks. I do want it latched for sure. I need a couple lockable storage areas, this one would be the sacrificial locked area. They spend the energy to break the plywood open and hopefully make it to the full metal box.

Cool idea for a side ladder! Might want to make a crossbar across that window screen, keep acidential feet from poking a hole in it

Got my 1100 lumen led light mounted to light the camp area. Lost power to my roof top wires though. Got some testing to do tomorrow to get power through those wires.

Power to the camp light through the strobe light circuit. Flexible diverter installed for the AC. You couldn't really adjust the flow before and it mostly blasted cold air at hot windows.

Nice work on the diverter. I always get a good feeling when given the chance to stretch $$s spent on government required fees.(-:

Stainless steel Hood vent installed. Will help with under hood heat after I stopped and ram some cool air in when I'm rolling.

The Shadows make the front edge of it look a little ragged but I'd swear its straight. $4.99 stainless steel dog bowl. About two inches tall and 10 inches in diameter. My wife wants to paint the world on it but I might convince her to use some vinyl sticker.

I thought that looked like a dog dish. Cool idea. Pun intended. You could always upgrade to a small wok, which might make a better globe to paint.
I keep trying to read you bus since there seems to be writing in numerous places.

I just had an idea of making a spot lightweight but strong enough on top of my bus for a tent. Very cool to see it done. Haha.
The ladder idea too...awesome. If any needs unique inspiration for thier build, this is the thread to read.
