I guess it's finally time to document my build. (Well long overdue probably having had it for 4 weeks now) For now I'll start with post Number 1 and make edits to Post #1 as I get it all written down.
Plan is to build a Camper Van / RV primarily for travel for my wife and I and our 4 dogs. Extra Seat for Occasional passenger. Travel will be to visit National Parks, friends and family and our passion, Frisbee / Disc Dog events. Travel is primarily Spring-Fall. Why would we want to leave Fallbrook (San Diego) in the winter.
All electric, no propane, no diesel heaters (to start). Porta Potti, No black water tank. No shower. DC only Truck Fridge., AC Microwave, DC Roof Fan, 120 V RV A/C, Counter with sink, 10-15 gal fresh water tank.
400 AH battery bank, 200-300 W Solar, 2800 W Inverter / Charger. Portable Generator.
Wood Cabinets to include: Behind drivers seat 3 stacked dog kennels, 3 full height 22 x 24 cabinets, Counter height cabinet behind passenger sliding door.
Rear side to side bunk beds.
Progress so far... Not much. I have purchased my MB roof rails and some insulating materials are on order. I have visited 3 So Cal up-fitters to see what they can do for me. A little fearful cutting holes for the windows likely to have someone else do those for me.
I greatly appreciate all the answers given her. It's going to be a long process.
