Today I went looking for my little parasitic friend. On the 200m scale I got a reading of 167.1. Figured that maybe it was the converter or and acc. that I left on and didn't know. Finally disconnected the memory wire for the radio, EUREKA. The drain went to 11.0 I believe that this might be ecceptable. We'll see.

I took this pic a few day ago. I registered and brought the TT for state inspection, passed with flying colors. Started building the cabinetry. I am beat! I'll put up more pics of the TT tomorrow.

So my kids came over yesterday afternoon and we sat around till late in the night talking and having a good time. Here are the Pics I promised.

I'll start inside The cabinets still need the handles, they swing up. Under the cabinets is a 4" shelf for holding remotes and charging cell phones. The TV can swing out of the enclosure and can swing side to side. Inside the lighting fixtures are 2 bulbs 1 is white the other is red so your night vision is not ruined if you have to step outside in the dark, also switches for outside lights. All lighting on this TT are LED. Vent and smoke alarm.

A good look at side catch nets for miscellaneous stuff.
Image

Temperfoam mattress and reading light.
Image

Another pocket net for small items and books.
Image
Image
Better Pic of TV and remote shelf. You can also see a receptacle under the cabinet to plug into.

The new gaskets for the hatch were deliever yesterday, but it can wait manana.
Image

Image

You can see the switch that I fabed up for the hatch lighting I used very thin LED track. It is mounted (unseen) behind the bars on the hatch supports.

I still have a few things to fabricate and customize and I will be working on them over the next few weeks. My son 33 asked me why I built this instead of buying one, I told him satisfaction. When I retired from the Fire Dept I was not ready to retire. This project was just plain fun. I probably will not post as often as I have, so I would like to thank you all, for the advise and encouragement that you have given me during this project. If you have watched my project please chime in.

Looks great! You have done a fine job. :applause:

I like the hanging bins and the fact that the color coordinates with your bedding. Where did you find those?

They are called Boat Cargo Nets. I got them on E-Bay. I can no longer find the site. They are sold through boat dealers and boat parts places also.

These are 36 X 8. The ones I have are 32 X 12. I can even throw my shoes in the side nets.
