The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

Congratulations on the naming.

I like the wee FWC advertisement on the hatch.

Started fitting the water system.



Stainless steel footmans loops for securing the Scepter water tanks. Bought from McMaster.com, part number 8030T15, for anyone who is interested.





Here is the water line coming out of the Scepter. Incredibly tight fit, had to really work to get it though. It currently will hold a suction, so no worries about water leaking while it splashes around while driving.





This is the half inch reinforced water line I am using. McMaster part number 9336T3.





Twenty dollars in parts, stainless steel is expensive.





Planning on more work on the water system tomorrow....

Congratulations on the naming.

And welcome to ExPo!

Worked on the mounting plates for the Wave heater.





Ended up taking the heater apart so I could bolt the heater to the mounting plates, instead of relying on the slotted screw holes.





Took the mounting nuts for feet off to save weight. Joking.
I took them off because now the bottom looks smoother without the unused hardware.





Got everything lined and squared up, so the first couple screws went in. Might still move the heater up or down a bit, but currently it is lined up with the table. (The bottom of the heater is level with the top of the table in it's travel position.) And I like that.

That install looks good.

That install looks good.

Thanks for the kind words.

I am currently feeling frustrated buy the minimalist interior that this build is requiring. Humph! I guess I need to embrace the industrial loft feel.

I also partially took apart the cabinetry, one of my brackets was a 16th off and it was really bugging me. But I think I got it straitened out, although it is not reassemble yet.

[Overland Hadley]

Current work on the water system.



Trying something out of the ordinary with the location of the Whale pump, as there is not a cabinet to mount it inside. Yes that is the foot pump coming out mid-wall, from my mock up it should work okay but we will see.

I have the Yakima feet. Locks. And cross bars. Pm me if you want me to dig them out of my garage

[Overland Hadley]

Got the Yak feet. I am impressed with the quality, so I am happy.

I only have one bar at the moment, but I cleaned it up and installed it. The burnished aluminum bar looks a little bling, but there is/will be plenty of other aluminum brackets so it should be okay.

The roof rack is coming along!

Your build is coming together nicely.

I'm enjoying following what you are doing.

Enjoy your summer.
