Conversion Details

  • Builder: (self-build)
  • Conversion type: Shell → living space (insulation + 80/20 frame + finish)
  • Year of conversion: 2026 (in progress)
  • Key mods:
    • Status: shell. Interior stripped; thin walls + very large windows; stationary climate control absent.
    • Insulation & framing plan: 80/20 T-slotted aluminum frame around the living space; polyiso board or closed-cell spray foam against the shell (seal-first), thermal-break strips at all rib contacts, interior skin on T-nuts. See Insulation & Frame.
    • AC plan: Midea 12K U-shaped inverter window AC (MAW12U1QWT) in an 80/20 window panel — off-grid boondocking primary; SereneLife SLPAC10 portable demoted to shore-power backup. See Air Conditioning.
    • Power: 48V bank (3× ECO-WORTHY Cubix100, 14.4 kWh), 5 kW inverter, solar TBD (~1,000–1,200W planned; ~1,500–2,000W if AC becomes a mainstay and no generator carried; ~600–800W if the DF1100T gen comes along — see Power Supply §Generator-Assisted Power).
    • Generator (owned): WEN DF1100T, 11 kW dual-fuel, 214 lb — bank-charger only (gen → ECO-WORTHY charger → bank → inverter; THD <15%, never direct to electronics). Solar drops to fuel-saver/quiet-hours role when gen is carried. See Power Supply.
    • Trailer (2026-09): enclosed 5×8 pull-behind planned for trike + generator + fuel (all off the bus except tongue). Receiver exists — [VERIFY] hitch class/rating stamp, 7-pin/wiring, VIN tow rating (~7,000–7,400 lb class on 5.4L). See Weight & Capacity §Tongue Weight.
    • [VERIFY before build numbers harden:] rib spacing (~16” OC expected), window count + opening sizes, roof hatch/vent state, shell leak/rust status.
