Well, I have been busy with everybody else I haven't had much time for myself. So far, I have the water coffin installed, the passenger side tool box/diesel heater box set, and today, I worked on the battery box install. All went well. All wiring is finished and improved so I can claim a Version 2 of my build! This week I will install the diesel heater and the batteries. Then the center slide drawers cabinet will be next! I really cant wait till it is finished so I can take a weekend ride and have some ME time.

Reinstalled the diesel heater tonight. Tomorrow I will seal the bottom exhaust area and fire it up for a test!

Well I got busy and did not seal the heater. I did install the 3 batteries and tested the Auxbeam controller and lights in the dark! I might have over done it….
Now I have to find an intermittent short in the new side lights. Right after the pic, they turned off and won’t come back on.

I finally finished the diesel heater setup! I like the way I connected the exhaust/fresh air lines better than the initial install! I also removed the tailgate seal as it did not make it 1 year. At the $50 price point, you would think it would last more than 1 season. So I am trying a generic 1/8" x 6" wide rubber seal. We will see. Cheaper isn't always better but I can buy 3 of these rolls for the price of the product specific junk. Anyways, I'm liking it!

I am getting excited for the 2026 spring trips!! And I finally have time for myself. This year has been very busy already. I starting back up my RV Repair business and I finally have a day with no RV repairs so its ME TIME~!!!! 22 jobs just in Feb alone. Feels like I have officially came out of retirement. I knew there were jobs here but wow...phones off the hook! I have to pay for my hobbies somehow....

Version 2.0 is almost complete! Only a few small items left to call it complete.
