as far as those interior walls, how/what did you use hardware wise.
I guess im trying to figure out how best to mount diff things etc (shelves, lights etc.) but I can not imagine that the walls on their own can support much. I do not have nearly the knowledge you have but am a quick study. I am just toting my raptor around on weekends to get away from the city so I do not need much luxury |

The paneling on the in side is fiberglass panel that is used in public restrooms... Has a pebble finish... The insulation is rigid foam thang is foil on both sides... Also attached with pl2000. |
bydesign,
this is really helpful, I appreciate it. I have not decided on insulating yet I have read in a few threads about ensuring that you put windows on the correct side etc. how can you tell from ebay which is which? I've looked over a few and it did not appear they designated which side was which. |

Who do you use for insurance? I am 0-3 in finding someone to insure this thing |

Construction adhesive... Shop LIQUID NAILS 10-oz Construction Adhesive Adhesive at Lowes.com= paneling adhesive... Basically I glued and screwed all of the pine to the inside of the box... then glued the foam insulation up... and the screwed the paneling up (I found using a dab of the adhesive on the paenling screws stops them from coming loose) |
awesome, I appreciate it. do you happen to know the thickness of the cab walls?
i know these questions are trivial and prob annoying, but you have been a tremendous help to me |

The build cont' I found an awning off an RV that was being parted out... granted in was a scene from deliverence... but my brother and I dismounted from the RV and had it on top of my Jeep in under an hour... granted I had to drive it some three hours across the state of FL... at 75+ MPH...

Very cool. Really enjoying your build, and itching to get re-started on mine.

I see now I'm not the only one that has a unique use for a retired u-haul truck. this would be my first post.I've been reading all your post...wow can't wait to get started on my truck...thanks for all the good advise. I haven't even put whrench to truck and already alot of problems are solved...thanks from another fng.
|
so i finally picked up the track to mount up the awning... and with a ton of help from Kevin (thanks) we got her up... I also picked some new canvas for her... (old one had a rip but I am sure it will get sewn / repurposed) rail was mounted (screwed into place with 5200 so its never going to come off!) 19' and big enough to put the buggy under...

Craig's list under rv I searched parting out... $200 and $250 new canvas...not bad for an A&E 9000 series. Retail is almost $2000! |
