Well, the roof is finally complete!
I wired up the running lights- two on the front, two on each side, and one big red bar across the rear. Of course, they are all LEDs.
I also wired up all of the interior roof lights- two single fixtures and one double fixture each bulbed with warm white 1156 LED arrays from superbrightleds.com.
All of the wiring had to be secured above the roof sealing aluminum trim pieces and the plastic trim that I installed up against the roof where the canvas attaches to. Then all of the wiring will go down through a tube of "canvas conduit" that runs down the wall by the galley and down to where I will install my fuse block/power distribution. At any rate, all wires are secure and everthying has been tested and is fully operation.
Here's a couple shots. Like one of my guys said, this thing is gonna look like a UFO traveling down the highway, or a shortbus version of a semi...
Meanwhile, I plumbed in my water pump. Today I put about 20 gallons into the tank, hooked up the pump to a booster battery pack and tested it out. My faucet is a laundry sink faucet as they already have a garden hose addapter on them and do not limit flow through their aerator. They also will stick out over our sink unlike a bathroom faucet, but don't stand up to far as to hit the floor when the galley is folded over and the camper is closed. It was also ~$18 at Lowe's. Here's a shot of the plumbing and the location of the pump. It's a Shurflo pump and I could barely here it over the sound of the faucet running. This thing cranks out water!
Here's an underside view of the plumbing. After the pictures, I sealed up the plumbing penetrations with 3M marine adhesive.
I also have a drain on a flexy line off the back of the tank (at the rear of the camper), so if all else fails, I can still access the 35 gallons of water via gravity.
Lastly, work has begun on the cabinets/benches/bed/galley. The framing is all 3/4"x1 1/2" oak. It's burly. I decided to build the lower galley and DS bench/storage as one piece for easse of construction and further internal structure for the lower box. I'll try and get some pictures of the upper galley and new countertop up soon.
