I call Timothy Leary on your ass, you're tripping
You shall see it come together, muthalikka.
I won a caring transactions auction for a tool cabinet loaded with woodworking and craftsman hand tools that Robert Price picked up for me.
Included were several sheets of birch plywood and 6 small sawhorses.
I am kitting my 110 out like 10 men.
The inverter and induction cooktop will be here this week or early next week.
Machine shop is working on the water tank.
I already have the webastos.
Only thing not drawn out is the front and rear racks.
Me too. Lee did a really good job, but his shower, inside heat, and ability to heat water are not up to the typical Land Rover camper specifications using diesel fired Webasto appliances.
We are going to use a Webasto Thermal Top to heat the shower and sink water and have a built in aluminum water tank.
The water tank will have a circulation pump that will go through the Webasto and heat 12 gallons of hot water in the under seat tank up to 117 deg F in about 5 to 10 minutes depending on the starting temperature.
There will be a siphon hose to drop into a jerry can so you can fill the water tank via the circulation pump from outside the 110. The small front rack will hold a row of jerry cans.
Also the Webasto Air Top can heat the interior much faster and more efficiently.
Am going to make similar inside cabinets, use the induction cook-top, and later add the TV and use a panasonic toughbook.
There is no need for a generator like Lee has with the ability to divert the alternator output to the auxiliary batteries. This was designed installed and tested successfully with our 110.
The outside rack will hold everything you want when you decide to set up camp for a more extended stay: grill, small table, chairs, and so on.
When you're just stopping for the night, you can cook inside and not worry about setting up camp outside, grilling, and breaking down camp afterwards.
Also, the outside rack will hold a propane tank for the outside grill and propane injection into the Iveco diesel.
There won't be any propane stored or used inside the vehicle.
Cool, when we are camping in Colorado mts next Sept hot showers are on RD.
Please post a build thread or at least share key decisions and the approach...
For next year:
Install in/on the 110:
Dormobile roof onto the roof without alpine windows that came from Uncle Douglas
Renogy 2000W Inverter charger
Webasto Thermal top
12 gal aluminum water tank under the right front seat
Web fold down sink
2 burner induction cook top
microwave
Interior build out...
who's did you go with ? Been looking, and need to pop for 3 110's worth of 6an
Yes looked at all of them.
The work is good, but not exactly what I am looking for and very dear prices.
To start with, I do not want any propane in the interior cabin, so will be cooking inside via a microwave or induction cook top.
With the addition of the microwave have upgraded the inverter charger from the Renolgy 2000W to an AIMS 3000W with LED control panel.
In addition to the "car battery", plan is to use 2 of the odyssey pc1800-ft batteries to gain a 430 AMP HR auxiliary battery bank that will run the 120V appliances without any influx of current for an hour.
The 140W solar panel will add 12 Amps at 12V for a steady recharge than can replenish the oddsseys in less than an hour.
Also have the option of switching the alternator output directly to the oddssey auxiliary battery bank.
The cabinets will be made of birch plywood and painted with grey expoxy.
Am studying the Kreg method of joining the sections together.
Bought a metal cabinet full of hand and woodworking tools at auction and in the drawers were a number of special cabinet making jigs among them the Kreg and all sorts of jigs braces and clamps.
The counter top will be stainless steel.
Just need to complete a batch of GM engines to clear shop space for the work on the roof and cabinets.
The induction 12V exhaust fans, 2 burner counter-top stove, microwave, and inverter charger are all here.
Will test it all before building the cabinets to make sure we have the right combination of appliances verses auxiliary battery power, solar charging capacity, and so on.
Have not sized out the sinks yet (1 inside and 1 outside).
Both will be fed from the under seat water tank with Webasto thermal heater.
There will also be a Webasto air top for cabin heat incorporated somewhere into the cabinet structure.
We have enough vehicles around the shop to be able to do a complete layout before making a final install.
Then when I retire, the road and trails will be open for exploring.
