Mounted the rear LED lights and also got the rear upper camera mounted. Going down to the shop when it gets dark and check them out. They put out 1800+ lumens each. Like 18 watts. And got some painting started.

We will see. My plan is to use 4 down the side under the Awning if the test goes well. Going to try a dimmer on the Awning lights. Don't want the operating room look ?

White is right !

Here are the shots from tonight's test. What do you think ?

And from the cab it would be a big help backing up. I didn't have the camera's working to see how much it would help them ?

its nice ! I agree when backing at night it would be really nice.
Ive been considering adding some to our coach so that i can use them to check on the trailer or toad when towing / running at night.

They would be a tremendous help for backing up at night. Once the cameras are operational you should be in good shape for night time operations.

Some air install. I have been having a valve in the dryer system stick. Just old. Like me !

So I installed a new dryer today.

Also got the AV cables to the front of the cab. Need about 6' more on the longest run. Going to look-into building one ?

Also moved the cab pump to the driver's side. Going to go with a stack and it was in the way.

Just curious, why not put the dryer and tank under the truck?

Most of the space is taken. But the gap at the cab and box just seamed right and easy to get to ! Oh, the old cooler/dryer was mounted to a stand back their and I could reuse the hose system .

On a side note the water heater is going under the passthrough. Will start that when the heater gets here.

The end of a long week. Some more wiring and the carnage on the floor.

Going to switch to some pluming next ? And some painting on the rear uprights/door frame.

Water heater got here today. Its a tank-less for LP. Test fit went well. Don't think it could be run with the truck underway,may not draft right ? So I will only use it parked. Should have good assess to fittings and drain's.

I strongly recommend you lengthen the vent on it. You are going to have draft issues and you will be getting the wall of the camper real hot.
