Thats the life. Settled in next to the surf, cool beers at hand while you watch the fishing poles. Snug sleep at night in the Avion.

Howdy!
Thanks OBX, we just LOVE pictures! I went with a porch as well.
But a ramp, ooh, now that IS new. Where did he stow that BIG
ramp when traveling?
The hydronic heater is installed, but does not heat. I am
getting a tiny solar hot water pump to push fluid through the
heater. More complicated than I wanted, but I knew it was going
to be needed when I hook up to the radiator. It also
got me thinking about a hybrid solar setup. Solar panal on top
of fluid containing coils. Make the sun do double duty, and both
systems work better!

That is a nice looking 1968 or 1969 Avion camper. It sure looks like it is about to touch the roof of the cab.

Florida State Park? Looks like some of the hammocks we've seen.

Greetings everyone
I just thought i give you an update on the wiring

DC system:
Power distribution area is in process
Main lights are in
Light up walls are started
Reading lights are in
main ceiling and light up walls can be controlled from the door area and from the bed area
reading lights only from bed

Most other wires for the water pump , fridge and outside outlets and slide out kitchen are in

AC System:
wires are in but not hooked up yet

Waiting on the solar wires to integrate into the walls

Outside lights is a separate solar set up and is working. There are four of them , two on the passenger side , one over the door and one over the shore power hook up on the driver side

Enjoy the pics and happy holidays

Cheers

Nice looking wiring job.

I like the interior LED lights. Not too sure about the outside light. I used the old heat vent for the scarelight, and I have the built-in porch light. Whats up with the mounted light outside?
