Following photos show linear actuator to adjust the bed angle allowing comfortable reading or relaxing position.Control switches are up/down and center switch to turn on a reading light overhead.The control circuitry is tucked away under wheel well cover

Nice plan! I've seen people in the Scotty groups handle it different ways. The fan with the relay is smart.

Thanks.When AC is set on economy the AC blower turns off also and the current relay drops out the exhaust fan on shroud.No sense in it running continuous.

Looking awesome! How are you dealing with the exhaust from the air conditioner?

Got it installed and tested. Works great!

Thanks.Built a box (shroud) to fit around the rear of AC.Mounted an exhaust fan in shroud to turn on (using a current relay) when AC cycles on.Fan will blow hot air out through a vent in the floor using 6 inch flex duct
from fan in the shroud.Will post assembled pictures when put it all together.Picture below.

Couple more

[SteveC]

Got some work done on the walls.Ripped some 5mm plywood into 7.25 inch wide strips to create a ship lap look.Got first coat of paint on.

[SteveC]

Beds installed.Built these in sections a while back and just screwed together.

[SteveC]

Installed ac drip pan and drain

Looking great! I like the t&g interior! Good idea with the exhaust fan for the air conditioner. Should help its efficiency quite a bit.

[SteveC]

Built a circuit with current relay to turn an exhaust fan on when air conditioner cycles on.Explanation of above picture.

[SteveC]

Thr air conditioner will be mounted in the rear between the beds.

[SteveC]

Got some rough in wiring done.

Finally got the ceiling installed.Used 1/4 inch pine tongue and groove.Finished the boards before installing,It was time consuming and a chore but hopefully when I look up at the ceiling at night it will be worth it.

[SteveC]

Removed both disentegrated roof vents.Did away with the one on outer edge and covered with aluminum sheet.
Since I was replacing center vent I added a nice 3 speed fan.
Now that the roof holes are plugged I can start hanging the inside ceiling.

[SteveC]

Finally got a little done on the project. f

[Zach]

Making some good progress!

[SteveC]

Beds on each side will face to the rear . The cutout in rear is for the AC.

Steve, in addition to your photo posts being interesting & informative, you may have also saved me the trouble of starting a new thread & posting my "problem photo" showing the original tongue & jack on my '66 Shasta. The jack no longer works because sometime in its prior life it got bent/banged up, and no longer cranks. It's basically stuck in a fairly low position (about like where yours is, in your photo above, if you include the length of the removable "foot" shown in your photo). I've been wondering what to do about that, which sections were replaceable, which replacement parts were readily available, whether I'd have to cut it out with a torch vs be able to unbolt it, etc). It looks (operative word) like I should (hmmm) be able to unbolt "just the jack" exactly the way yours is unbolted and replaced, above. Did you have any trouble getting your ancient bolts to come out? The very few times I used my Shasta, years ago, I had a picThe kup that was "lifted" so a low, non-functional jack wasn't a significant problem (there was no risk of it dragging or snagging, hitched to a tall bumper). Now I have a stock height small pickup, and the frozen-in-place jack would probably drag. Where did you get your jack?

Original jack was already gone when I bought it but he gave me new one he hadn't installed.The hole in the A coupler had to be enlarged a little (used a grinder) for the new jack to fit.The bolt holes lined up perfect
and just bolted right in.
E Trailer has several model jacks and of course Amazon has everything.
