Holly **** are you still in you have got you a nice rig.You'll like the color scheme I think i plan on matching the color of are hard back is in 06 the coyote and flat black. I been good started my own shop when I got out working on diesel trucks called the diesel doctor
moving on with the build after I got the floor and roof done I decided finish the insulation on the inside I used R-max closed cell foam board and sound deaden-er and foil bubble wrap all of this combined should give me an R factor of 17.5
I came to this number by the sound deaden-er has an R value of 2.5 the R-max foam board has an R value of 5 @3/4 thickness double layered the foil bubble wrap with a 1/4 air gap has a R value of 5. I wanted it to be a efficient as possible so my air conditioner would not have to work that hard to cool of the back originally I planned on using a roof top unit so I cut a hole and stuck it up there. Well after I put the lift on I did not like it it was up to high, I wanted to stay under 13.6 for the height of the vehicle.
after I fished the insulating portion I cut the hole for the roof top fan (I must say these things pull some air i bet half the time I will not even need a/c )
Has any body installed a fantastic vent fan and not put one of those fan vent coves on i don't like they way they look but am worried about water when it rains

Well back to the build! In the quest to stay as efficient as possible in all of the sub systems I decided to do radiant floor heating instead of forced air heating. I a checked the amp draw for my heater and with the pump and blower I was pulling 27 amps on high using just the pump to circulate the coolant I only pull 6 amps so it was decided to go with the lesser of the two

I got to say keeping that tubing in its grove was a pain in the a##. I should have researched it a little more and got the right staples it would have made it a hell of a lot easier
Does anyone know of a place besides grainger to get. 12 volt water valves already checked there and they are over 200 a piece looking for something like this
