I installed the latest print. I had some print issues in a non-visible area behind the cover and will also need to adjust the mounting holes (will slot one side). I'll run it for a bit along with my fridge and battery pack and will make updates...
Back from California!
The Rolls-Royce the bride and groom drove away in. The pricetag on this vehicle may be impressive but I am simply not interested or impressed with it at all.
Met up with @Broski while I was out there! Always great to...
Welcome.
It's all here. Search more slowly.
Good start is the sweet PDF @sark put together. Maintenance guide may give you some ideas.

I feel like I can post a small update as I catch up here. Been daily driving the 73 and working, on repeat. Finally committed to some vacation time. Spent yesterday at the Larz Anderson auto museum for Japanese car day near Boston. Met a lot of...
Thank you! I probably didn't look hard enough but I was trying to find close up photo of how those are installed through online pics all over. This helps a lot.
Heading into fall here in Idaho. I went up to the ski hill yesterday to do some maintenance i.e. cut down brush (just like rust, brush never sleeps either) prior to the arrival of snow.
Been ‘sowing’ with the welder the sheet metal to the galley. Missing the last sheet to cover the fridge. The rest is all 2mm aluminum doors or drawers.
Been driving the troopy and it is sooo much fun to drive. It feels better them my 80 with...
Sorry Andy.... I haven't taken many photos to share as I have been way too busy to spend much time with it but here is one of the sleeping platform on top. When I get away from work for a bit, I will take it out and get a lot more photos then...

Well, this CC gullwing is awesome! Have had a chance to use it on a few trips now and I'm loving it. No leaks, no dust, no wind noise... And being behind my right shoulder (RHD), it is completely unnoticed in terms of visibility from within while...
3D printed some covers for the square holes in the rear header of the troopy. I need to do it also for the front doors. Black or gray like the interior?
Also ordered the dome light for the back while working on the electrical hub and control...
The ocean has been a little too angry and wind too strong for my daily beach ride, so drove out to Little Kinnakeet Life Saving Station on the back side of the island.
Although they stayed out to sea, Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda have done...
Preparations for our return to Europe have started . I scored a triple locked hzj74 a while ago with a 1HDTFT /H151 combo in it . Not sure what I will do with it at this moment but I rented a storage container where it can live in for a year or...
Added some upholstery fabric to my lid cushions. The neoprene close-cell foam that I thought would work well as a simple glue-on pad did not like the summer heat and started to break-down, leaving a black dust on my white dog.
