I would take a picture of mine, but it is back in the shop! I used a very small corner bracket piece and attached it to either side of the center console to line up with the existing transmission access panel bolts. This way, I did not have to drill any more holes in the floor/panel. Hope that makes sense.

Have been considering this myself. Want to add a dash cam and wire it into a 12v plug in that overhead area. Is the wiring pretty accessible behind the cutouts to get onto 12v? What type of fuse block did you use?

I like that idea

Those two side overhead bins just pop out, the center one is a bit more work. But, while I'm sure the wiring up there is more than adequate for most needs including the USB's I installed for my TPMS monitor and dashcam, I ran 10ga wiring up there, up the A pillar, for the three radios (ham, GMRS, CB) that I might install up there. I'm debating mounting them overhead vs on the Fab 5 console.

The fuse block is shown below. Nothing special.

Were did you get these fans from that are over the bed? 12v or 120v

Also, the gas adapter that you used so you can use 20 g tanks?
Thanks in advance!

They draw few amps and rotate about 270° in all axis. And Beddy'sBedding for the King bed. Attachment 80220

Sorry, new at this......

So, they're USB. Which means with a cheap adapter they can also be 12V or 120V. They come in a single fan version too. I used vhb tape to mount them.

Thank you! My wife can’t sleep without fans blowing on her….these will work out great!

Camping at the house. We live 30 miles out in the sticks and we moved out to the RV for a minute to test out our setup before the 5 day trip 3 weeks from now and the 3 week trip in June. Smashburgers were the first griddled request I took for the new rig. Attachment 80315Attachment 80316

Added Milwaukee Packout 2 and 3 Drawer components to the drivers side storage. I'm a big Milwaukee M12 and M18 fanboy and along with a couple other Packout components, I'm going to be able to take my favorites. I'd need a trailer to take all my Milwaukee and Ryobi cordless tools. I easily have over 100. I can confirm the drawers will clear the lip of the storage compartments, in case anyone was wondering.

I know we all have our opinions on tool storage, especially with the premium on space in our motorhomes, but I always do my own work and don't want the lack of a tool to be the reason I don't.

Shakedown cruise complete. Nothing broke and nothing needs additional attention. 5 nights at The Colonies RV Park in Fort Monroe VA. Did add a 3rd refrigerator to one of the bays. I have the absorption one inside, the slideout 12V I optioned in one of the bays for all my griddle food, and this little 12V one that I previously had installed exactly like this (in a bay) on my last RV for beer and mixers.

Overall we had a great trip.

I've got my Milwaukee Packout setup pretty much done. I have always carried a pretty full complement of tools in my previous motorhomes and its paid off not only in repairs, but in making things, mostly wood, but sometimes metal. Also molding my Jeeps. Going full time doesn't mean I have to completely leave my fully equipped shop behind. Tinkering is in my blood and I've helped total strangers in distress to build up positive karma. We also make flags to order and thought about continuing that for a time filler.Attachment 81481Attachment 81482Attachment 81483Attachment 81484Attachment 81485

Any concern about the weight in the bay? I have been using the Craftsman stackable system as I can easily pull out the boxes and put them in the Jeep for wheeling. I really like your two shelf storage and how it clears the bottom of the bay door and may need to pick a few of those up. I am able to fit almost everything in the the large wet bay.

[DonkeyFluffer]

I really don't have any concern. The boxes themselves mostly have 50lb weight limits and I'm more concerned with even weight distribution to right, but with all 3 refrigerators on the curbside, i think I'll be close. We have a 3 week trip to Maine, come Hell or No Diesel, starting next month, and I'll be weighing Bluey to see what adjustments I need to make. My Gladiator is 6240 lbs currently configured, so I could move things into it if needed, but my CCC is just slightly under 6k and I don't have much more than I had in my last rig.

Well done JJ. Looks great

[gazellie]

Looks nice. You have packed quite a bit in there. What is the device on the passenger side cup holder adaptor?

[Jeepin Jason]

Both of those are cell phone holders. The green screen is not attached to that, it is the brake controller screen and it is stuck right into the cigarette outlet.

[DonkeyFluffer]

We're on a 3 week trip to Maine. No issues with the Entegra except the house batteries aren't what I want them to be. Ordering 4x100 or 2x200 lithium when I get home and hopefully can figure out how to switch the converter to lithium (it's supposedly a converter with a lithium ready setting).

The first pic is a Harvest Host in Marion CT, the 2nd - 9th is Sherwood Forest Campsite in Pemaquid ME. The last two are in Lubec ME, a mile from Canada at the easternmost point in the continental U.S.

[GibbysWorld]

You’ll need to swap out the BIM to lithium version as well. The converter/charger does have a toggle switch for lithium.
