Still working on Clyde .......... right now i'm building the cabinets for the refridgerator and sink...... I'm almost finished with the fridge cabinet..... It looks pretty good for an amatuer..... it will has a chest type top for dry storage and a side cabinet for more stuff........
I also incorporated the dual voltage power outlets and power management controls inside..... when finished it'll work really well i think...... all i have right now are a couple of drawings but will post pics soon.... 
Next will be the sink cabinet........ coming soon...

Well, Here it is................. it works great and seems to make ice pretty fast............... i have most of the electrical finished......... we're wired for 110v and 12v. i have the converter fully functional on 110v and it charges the batteries. The last pic is running on battery only with the fridge on...... it had been on for 2 hours and stays at 13.1-13.4 volts constantly...... the compressor was on when the pic was taken...

Today i start on the rear suspension............. changing rear bushings, bearings, seals and repacking the CV joints...... Hopefully there won't be any snags and it will go pretty fast.... 
Then i have to machine my front brake rotors and get the glaze off them.... They squeak to much......... 
I will try and make my cabinet doors for the top and get them installed by next week before my trip to Eureka Springs but we'll see....

Clyde recieved new front brake rotors and new outer front bearings.......
After recent river playing... water had gotten into the front bearings and contaminated the grease causing the outer bearings to rust....
I sealed the spindles now to prevent future problems....

Long time since last post.... Clyde has been around 5000 miles on camping trips and cruises since last post.... He has new shoes too......
I am currently building a new rear hitch with a spare tire mount..... I have a new radiator for improved cooling that will be going in soon...
