SO, Call me crazy but Although I love the look of the Deuce, the cab is a bit too slim for fitting much in there in the way of gear for camping and such. I had the idea (again, crazy, I know) to widen the cab at the front to be almost as wide as the fenders - then run it back into a double cab -...
Hey there - Great build! A cautionary note on those batteries though - they off gas and need venting to exterior - Hydrogen Sulfide gas if I remember correctly.
A year or so back I bought a bunch of RV tanks,fitiings, toilet, heater, water heater etc from a local RV'er - hoping to do a similar...
Ive been thinking about this idea myself for many years. Great concept. I hsd the idea turn into a slightly different business model andd ended up buying a transit bus and converting it into my new business. During the build I had to cut out the entire side of the bus and then remove and cover...
Let me know how that works out for ya! - Nice build - thanks for sharing. - I looked south to see if I could see it but the snowbanks here in Maine are still a bit high. LOL
You could always make up a quick double-wall heat shiels out of a couple pieces of muffler pipe - if you stopped by a shop I bet they'd give you a few short pieces for nothing... - Good idea being safe than sorry, your safety is paramount.
I had this same thought because I wanted much more room in the cab for people and gear. The Deuce cab is pretty skinny and the other cabs - like the Kodiak 45,5500 and such - use the whole width of the cab. Plus, I REALLY like the look of the 4 door ones a lot of municipalities are using. You...
Maybe it would be feasible to install the electric fan and some sort of a battery backup on a switch for it so you could flip the switch and run it off the spare battery - which would also give you access to more juice if you really needed it for other things (as some others have done).
Wow! - Just finished reading through the whole thread (took me 3 days) - Great work Ray! If you don't mind a question: what is your finish carpentry experience? Ive done quite a bit of this kind of work but rarely on such an elegant scale. Appreciate all of your ingenuity and time sharing these...
Awesome build! I have done quite a bit of camper work, mods and such as well as fabrication and building construction so this is a very entertaining thread to me - and many others it seems. One Idea for others contemplating a build like this I would HIGHLY suggest keeping your eyes out for a...
Now I'm not trying to start anything here - I'm just feeling for the OP who has clearly thought about this quite a bit and posted looking for advice. Its so frustrating when people feed you all these (serious) alternatives like "Move" - without also offering a reasonable answer to his...
