AprilWhine Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 We finally have put the finishing touches on a recent paint job. I had to do it all outside, in between wind, some rain, hot sun and bugs! I'm so glad this project is checked off my list, it was quite an experience. That's BEAUTIFUL!

Got the generator to start with some help, everything will be put away by Monday evening and all we have to do is unplug and drive off Sept. 2. That is if we can get the park all cleaned and ready for winter by then. Been here since May 17 time to roll on. Some rallies and some maintenance some friends and then AZ in Dec.

Liberty Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Update on the Allure floor. it has bubbled in a few places like 1' wide and 3' long. The floor has never been hot or cold. We are in talks with the manufacturer with pictures etc. Their info (inside the boxes) says not to use it in camping trailers. well that ain't us is it. She said they might refund our money but would suggest to not use the same product again. Now we are thinking about what will be a good flooring material. I am not wanting to cut tile and set and grout it. A friend has suggested the planks used in the Walmart clothing departments. but I do not know what it is.

somewhereinusa Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 It's been a while, between procrastination, weather and laziness, I've come to another aaaah moment. I finally got the tubing layed for the heat radiant heat. There seemed to be no end to the things I "had to do before I could do something before I could do something,etc" Only a few more connections to make and one heater box to construct but, this was the hard part.Insulation with channels routed to lay tubing in.All of this (140 feet) goes in there.Tubing with heat transfer plates in. Ready to lay floor.Heads up for anyone doing one of these systems. One of the setbacks I had. I needed some more antifreeze. In the process of doing the reading for the reorder, I discovered I had used the wrong stuff. I thought I had read everything when I placed my original order but, what I used isn't for a system that has aluminum in it. I really think they changed it sometime in the interim. After a conversation with the tech people to make sure I couldn't make what I had safe, I have to flush out what I had and put in the correct stuff. Since I'll be flushing with water, I have to make sure the temps will be above freezing long enough to get that done. I've made connections so I can use well water to flush and air to blow it out. Also out the $300 for the wrong stuff. My bus build http:/somewhereinusa.x10.mx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skp51443 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 That really looks nice, a warm floor is going to make for a comfy RV in cold weather.

butch&fonda Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Not today, but this past Thursday, we purchased 8, L-16, Fullriver AGM batteries, to replace the two 8D AGMs we have now, for our house bank. I won't actually install them and put them in service, until I get back to our shop. There I already have 40' of 4/0 and about 50 to 60 feet of 3/0 welding cable. The local price of interconnecting cable is too high, especially considering that I've already got some and there is also a major amount of remodeling to do in the basement, to properly accommodate them.

somewhereinusa Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I went on a trip to Wisconsin last month, was going to stay for 2 days, stayed for almost a week. Even made some money.The heat works better than in my wildest dreams.I have been using the bus for over two years, this is the first time I really felt comfortable even though things are far from finished. Hot shower,warm floors,permanently installed microwave,large reefer.I am now at a place where I can start doing some finish work.In keeping with my tradition of never using anything for it's intended purpose. I just finished up my under cabinet led lights in the kitchen.I am quite pleased with the results and only have maybe $20 invested in all of them.When I first got them I was a little concerned about how much light they would make, and the color. These after dark shots show plenty of light and I like the color.Here are some detail shots. I got the stainless dipping cups at Sam's.Exploded view.The lights came with a plug in base, quite simple to take it off and solder wires on. I was surprised to find that these boards aren't polarity dependent, must be something built into the board. When I put it together I used a much larger hole in the metal part where the wires pass through so as to avoid any shorting problem. I simply screwed to the bottom of the cabinet and used silicone to hold spacer and pcb into the cup.Dick My bus build http:/somewhereinusa.x10.mx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
