LATEST UPDATES!

Been a bit since my last video but for good reason.

As you can see in one of my previous posts, I had to plan out all of my electrical usage down to every single device and every single location in the truck where I'll need electricity.

I was ready to run the wires, but then I realized that because I'm routing all of the wiring across the ceiling, I have to have the insulation and whatnot done on the ceiling...

Before I can finish the ceiling, I have to have all the holes drilled in the roof for the solar panels.

SO

I've been working on insulating the ceiling and also creating my massive solar array. This involves devising a mounting/hinging mechanism as well as installing a 600lb linear actuator to tilt the panels. Half of the 4 panels are currently on the roof, I should have the entire solar array done this weekend.

In a nutshell, I had to do a ton of planning, testing and thinking to move forward and I've finally regained momentum.

See you soon.

POLL: Do you own a conversion?

I want to know where everyone's at with their own conversions/tiny homes.

Just Designed my First Box truck conversion in Fusion 360. So far I'm thinking about doing a Bed-lift/HappyJac system (obviously DIY), since I'm not going to have a bed in the moms attic I've decided to have that area for the batteries for my rig, not sure what else I'll put up there but its open for storage, I have 80 inches of kitchen with a 7cu-in fridge and a RecPro RV stove cutout in a 1.5in butcher block. other side I have a Desktop setup where my PC will sit and right beside that will be the wardrobe. Will be putting a stainless-steel shower in which is next to the fridge cutout. There still is a lot of open space that I'm still unsure on where to go with things but for a 5-hour cad session I think this is pretty good.

2022 Techno Barbarian Build Order Guide
I suffered so that you don't have to


This guide serves as an outline for what I see as the optimal build order for just about any mobile living platform. The purpose of writing this was to not only to take notes for myself and my next build, but give a jumping off point for people who are doing their own builds and may be overwhelmed or not know where to start.

Following this guide should minimize the pain you experience during your build by having to backtrack, fix mistakes, and also allow you to plan ahead with confidence. 

As of Sept 2022 this is the order I would follow on my next build, but this is subject to evolve over time as I receive feedback and continue my own work.
