Really enjoying your build, and your priorities.
That floor turned out awesome!

Thanks very much

The floor has hardened nicely by the way my daughter likes to dance on it

Okay we are sanded and have the 1st coat of butcher block oil in other news I found this mexican ceramic sink I am thinking about using. Check on the second to last page on this thread to se pics of the new force 10 marine stove and this countertop being glued up.

Okay here is my advanced console planning.

Work continues

Seat is in and works starting the rest of the actual build by covering the walls. Henrys tropicool on the roof with a maxxfan old growth redwood on the walls.

Lexel by sashco and sheet metal screws with the heads trimmed. My house is nice as well and we all use it me, the wife, the toddlers and dogs… but seriously I spent time on sailboat interiors and have brought over a lot of what I have learned. Everything is much more durable than it looks.

Found these cool drawer pulls…

More pictures as we progress

So it is starting to come together I have a lot more woodwork but It is progressing well.

Seems like everything is working okay thus far. The alpicool t60 running and the maxxfan set at 78 degree auto doesnt seem to drain the batteries at all. Like I said I have 1 renogy 100w panel on the roof tomorrow I will put the fridge on a max duty cycle with the lights, fan, and heater fan on full blast and see how drained the batteries are at the end of the day.

Well the roof hatch gave up the ghost so I had to make a temporary replacement which took up most of my day today and some of yesterday. Breaks my heart that it is temporary because it sure came out nice. Before I finished I took some more pictures. Next I need to continue finishing and filling screw holes. Need to tint windows and figure out curtains, need to re upholster driver seat, foam all the holes in the floor, paint with rust reformer and then undercoat. The rear end is an open diff so I am thinking about an E-Locker. Also looking for a winch bumper.

Here are a few more pictures
