Made new fixture for two Delco's right above where the original battery was. Plenty of amps for cranking the beast also in cold weather.

I wanted the outlets in the bottom. Wish I had made them towards the center of the coach instsead to keep them away from the exhaust.

The all new stainless fuel tank. This tank is made with a smaller "footprint" but it is a little taller, volum is 72 gallons. Made it like this to give room for good insulation on the outside of the tank.


Up front looking down at the new housing for the 4x6v dry batteries. All coated with an active rust primer, it is a one-pack waterthinable acrylic copolymer primer designed for use in ballast tanks on ships. Looks like it is a black colored coating but it is not, it is transparent when you put it on, then it turns black when the primer reacts with the steel. I will have two coats of epoxy on top of this when everything is ready.


The 110v airconditioners had to go. This is the door with the airintakes covered. It is not painted but gelcoated. One day I hope to have done this to the whole coach.


This is what it looks like when finished. Door frame feels rock solid.


Making the new frame fixture.Had to pull the frame a little down in the rear at first, then the whole frame was adjusted a little forward at the lower end to make it square. I spendt almost a whole day on and it was a bit tricky to get it right.


So weak from rust it could be bendt away from frame by hand very easy.


Origial (improved) door frame to main frame fixture. Door frame was almost straight but moving around making the door opening up while driving.


Rear left new outer and cross member.


Rear right frame tube cut out.


Made a new larger reinforcement in the rear because I belive this is possible point of stress in coach structure. 23/4
