If you add heat/ac to this box; I advise ducting your heat to come out of floor vents and the ac from the roof mount/or vents. That way the heat rises all the way through the box and the ac falls all throughout the camper. Love the series and I can't wait to see it finished. Also I'm very excited for the door, can't wait to see how it works!

I remember you mentioning earlier on in this build that you’ll be getting a bunch of lead acid batteries to use with a power inverter. Just wanted to throw out a quick suggestion that you go the lithium (LiFePO4) route instead; the energy density is far better, they weigh significantly less, have a longer life, and are just generally way less finicky/tempermental. Renology is a fairly popular brand, but I personally went a cheaper route and went with ampere time (I think they changed their name to li-time). Then I found a charger-inverter, which when plugged into shore power will automatically charge the batteries, then when on battery-only it switches to inverter mode. I also added another DC-DC lithium charger for when we’re on the road, so the tow vehicle can charge the batteries too.

Sorry to say Chris but the biggest mistake you have made so far is that you didn’t upgrade the suspension in the back because of the use of steel instead of aluminum. With what you have right now is probably pushing the weight limits before you start putting in cabinets, storage, refrigeration unit, heating and cooling systems, water storage, waste storage, wiring and plumbing, windows, doors, and there still is things like cushions and beds, etc. To fix it now you will need to remove the shell RIGHT NOW before it gets too heavy to lift. Before you ask how do I know? 20 years experience of building recreational vehicles just like you are doing. Oh, you also might want to check on the center of gravity and make sure that it’s not too heavy, you’ll have a tipping problem. Not trying to rain on your parade, just wanting you and the gang to be safe.
