Deuce inspired flip-up camper

LOVE THE DECK!! Maybe ill do that instead of what I had planned. Thanks!

I have a few designs for the deck but they all use "storm door" panels that protect the glass french doors during travel. my walls are 3" thick and the doors are 1.5" thick so that allows for double doors.

for regular use there will be a single door knob to open the doubled door on one side (the other side will have top and bottom latches to release before opening)

when stopping for a while I can detach the outer door layer and attach it as the front deck. I've got another design that uses both door panels infront of the door and another flip down panel next to them to make the deck twice as big.

hows it coming along?

it is still mostly in the planning phase. I have been doing some upgrades and maintenance work.

I have replaced the air wipers with 24v electric wiper motors and housed a sterio. I have the materials to start sound/heat insulating the cab for general comfort.

I also am having wheel adaptors similar to the ones pictured made so that I can use common 22.5" 10 bolt wheels rather than the less common 20" 6 bolt wheels. It will let me have a lot more tire and wheel options.

I was reading the other thread on pivot frames for Fuso's and remembered this manual. Thought it might be of interest for your reference library on deuces..

Those are very useful, but most of them are also available on steelsoldiers.com and they're much easier to navigate/download over there.
