OVRLND Camper roll call

[montechie]

A good OVRLND shot between thunderstorms while camping locally at a mountain bike/BLM area near me. I messed up the perfect shot to stitch a panorama with the double rainbow because I and my lens were getting soaked:

Winds were strong enough to rock the truck a bit, but no flap/movement on the tent walls, and the slant-ways rain didn't get in anywhere, even though it was blasting my back doors. I just sat inside and worked waiting for trails to dry out enough to go bike.

Here's my setup for now. Plan is to get a Smittybilt Scout Trailer for it.

Probably late at this point, but saw an old post of mine elsewhere with the wire I hooked into:
"I was able to wire into the tailgate green-white-green wire (brake only, thanks to the OP's pictures!) and the black ground over behind the driver side wheel well."

I ended up getting the wiring harness that hooks to the tailgate. Saw the white wire with green stripe. I'm going to plug it in and test maybe today. I also have full barn doors so no tailgate.

Are you going to integrate your rear camera with the barn doors too? Would love to see how that setup works. I have the half doors, but am still contemplating going full doors. Apparently OVRLND can add the bottom halves later.

G900 Wolfbox 33' extension cable. Hooked up to the fuse box. Switched power to the cigarette lighter and power on always to the USB outlets. Already did the camera.

And presto! Third brake light. White/W green stripe to black= power.....on same plug end the black/w white stripe =ground. Third brake light functional no turn signal blinking. 100$ for the harness I cut up. Anyone need a camera cord? Got a brand new one that's not used. Just the cord.

Well didn't fuck it up to awfully bad. 1/2 Baltic birch base deck. Lots of figuring. Going to build a 6" deck for storage.

Still haven’t done the 3rd brake light, but did add power to the camper. Still need to tidy it up but hooked up the fan and it works!

Hot my Rhino rack crossbars X3 installed. Now I've got to figure out my solar install. Two panels on top for sure.

Nice start. To bad it's a Taco

 

[Free2roam]

Progress slowly but methodical at least I hope. 15 gallon water tank. Sink, bench, storage under bench along with batteries for solar, cubbies under sink for more storage, the Iceco VL60D will sit on top of the water tank deck which also has a exterior port for filling if necessary. Blue Sea System electrical panel. Not installed yet. Blue tank for sink water. Diesel heater being installed currently.

Finally insulated the ceiling and installed the headliner.

Where'd you get the daisy chain on the head liner from? Is that an option?

This is what they recommended and use do it in-house.

I bought 12’ and cut it in half for the length you see. I then used a soldering iron to melt the holes. Once I made the holes, I went along and put in the first rivnut as a starting point and went along and marked each spot where I needed to place the next rivnut.

and if you install their headliner, I would do the rivnut section at the ends a little different then how they recommend. It was only after doing it their way did I think of an easier and cleaner way.
But I am so glad to be done.

Finally bit the bullet and installed my positive pressure vent (PPV) on the OVRLND last night:
