M109A3 Camper/Bug out/off grid vehicle conversion

[Last Man Standing]

I started my M109A3 camper/ bug out / off grid vehicle conversion. I added bunks, 48 gal fresh water, storage units, solar on roof, add sink and hand pump faucet this week. Much more to go but I am on a budget and really shopping around!

Milk crates make for good storage.
What was the half round tank originally used for?

Hi Ray, The half round tank is used on farms allot for water storage for animals as well as humans. It is FDA approved and cost a fraction of the same size tanks for RV use. This one new was $89.00!

Looks good, I'd love to see more pics of your solar setup, and sink/hand pump too.

I added a Solargizer to keep the 24 volt system topped off.

Installed the ruff cut sink and hand pump.

Working on a gray water solution, added a 25 ft hose that can be retracted into the vehicle or hung underneath. This allows the flexibility to hook up to a holding tank or let it drain in a other situations. Of course there would be little gray water in an emergency!

Safety first! As a retired medic of 17 years...safety is always a concern. I installed a 10 year smoke detector with lithium battery, and an amber led lights to light the way!

Also added a Carbon Monoxide / GAS detector as there will be propane in and around this vehicle.
