Our bus's paintwork is finished
It just needs vinyl (image below) to replace the bluebird logo and lightbars as well as finishing mounting the solarpanels on the sides as well as window blanks and the @vulpinelabs logo
The trans rights will be moved after the solar is mounted as the solar side latches will get in the way
Working on the camper layout a bit before work.
Light/dark brown is dimensional lumber (2x2 and 2x4), orange is plumbing/electrical, red is 2x2 square tube, green is 1.5x1.5 square tube, yellow is 1 inch angle iron, beige is 1/4" plywood. The transparent "holes" represent drawer dimensions.
Goals:
Sleeps 2
Kitchenette w/ sink, fridge/freezer
Shower
Composting toilet, no black water
600Ah of battery
Shore power connection
DC charging from alternator
Aircon unit
Diesel heater
Rigid pop top (better fuel efficiency, clearance, and handling while in transit)
Heavily insulated (1.5" XPS on walls, 2" XPS on floor and ceiling)
On-frame truck conversion
I think I've managed to cram all of that in a 10.5' by 6.5' floorplan. I just ordered the structural steel so I may get to start on this next week!
This is going on the frame of a 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD with the 6.6 Duramax diesel engine, and we should be about 700lbs under GVWR with water, fuel, and us plus the dog.
He passed! What a good boy! 
Bam the #roadtrek is in the garage for his annual MOT inspection and service 
wish him luck

Zierau ist sogar doppelt zuständig, nämlich
Stadtrat für Finanzen (... Personal, Ordnung ...) und Feuerwehr. Traurig.
Ich kann mit Rückschau auf seine durchgehend mieserable Presse immer noch nicht verstehen, warum die #RV #Kiel auf eine Ausschreibung verzichtet und Zierau einfach so eine zweite Amtszeit als #Stadtrat geschenkt hat.
I accomplished the impossible today: a complex, multi-hour repair project, from start to finish, with NO trips to the hardware store for tools or supplies. Might need to buy a lottery ticket.

EMERGENCY ART COMMISSIONS OPEN
I’m holding a 20% off sale on my digital art until further notice:
https://ko-fi.com/lukeorion/link/SAVEBETSY
For a bit of context, this is meant to support my partner @magicalgrrrl , our two cats, and I, who recently overcame homelessness by getting a secondhand RV.
We are a disabled couple, struggling to not only get the basic needs met, but are also in dire need of RV repairs. The RV has been having engine problems, putting us in danger by leading to stalling in the middle of braking and turning.
This sale will also support our equivalent of rent; staying at an RV park so we have electricity. We hope to get repairs done to our generator, or replace it if necessary, as well as investing in a solar panel system, to eventually weed out the cost of RV parks.
Just successfully tested running my Plex jukebox server from my Transit 250 RV. Wo0t!
It's a Raspberry Pi with an SSD for the music hooked up to my 5G Internet box. Now I can take my music with me AND continue to share it with family and friends while traveling.
I'm running a mobile server from an RV. My inner 15-year-old continues to be gobsmacked.

Whitehorse RV owners may be waiting longer for service now, as 2 shops prepare to close
With Whitehorse's Philmar RV Centre and Fireweed RV Services both set to close in the coming weeks, people in the city will soon have fewer options to get their RVs ready for the camping season.

Can anyone advise me on designing an off-grid hot shower? It will be for paying guests, so it should be instant and foolproof to use.
I'm currently thinking to base it on a propane shower unit, drawing water from a butt using a 12v DC pump. Has anyone set up something like this? I have questions!
