Following with interest. Gotta do similar to a truck chassis for a slightly large house truck setup.

Still working away at it, just put on 480w of solar and some Lithium batteries in it to run the fridge that my wife demanded.
Still a lot left to do but will be able to sleep in it for some xmas camping.
It's been quite a learning curve.
I can see my old house from there!Quote:

Gee its flash Savage1, much bigger than I thought from the earlier photos of the chassis. Is the edge trim a freezer panel extrusion or is it a heavier gauge Ali angle iron rolled to fit ? great protection either way
I ended up drilling into the terminals and tapping them and putting in a 8mm grub screw, just waiting on a BMS for it now, $250 for a 100a/h LiPO4 battery is a bargin. they're far lighter and have a lot better performance than the gel batteries.Quote:

Bostick IMR glue is pretty much all that is holding it together, I think it's the same stuff that holds windscreens in cars.

Not bad for its size and fully laden apart from empty water tanks. Kitchen, beds, solar, batteries, fridge, cabinetry/cupboards all installed, just needs windows, toilet and shower installing now
Gives it 1800kg to play with before it's over loaded.
Thats a steal!Quote:

I think it was about 10mm, not far. About how far the blocks sat above the main casing.Quote:

Yeah it doesn’t look as bad in person, it’s a Jayco chassis.Quote:

It tows really nice as is though, no sway at all but might be because of the drawbar angle.
