Hey Ken! This is an awesome Project M build out! Happy travels!

Very nice!

This is incredible, true craftsmanship

Fantastic job!!!

Your build is amazing. You have a gift. I have Tundra/Project M and would love barn doors. Would you consider designing and/or building them?

Awesome build, look forward to getting my topper soon for my 1st gen! thanks for sharing!

this is by far the best build of the project M, I would love to see a video of the door when installed!

With your amazing skill and talent you'll make good $$$$. Project M owners will pay you to build theirs.

Appreciate the comment, I enjoy the process but have plenty of projects in the works to go back to work!

Love the build! Was wondering what truck and how big is the bed? Also did you have to do any suspension work? I was also looking into something similar. Thinking about getting the Tune M1, for my 2016 F150 with a 5.5' bed.

Hi Ken. Do you do builds for other people? Thinking of getting a Oru design camper. Thank you.

Such an awesome build, everything looks professionally done! Can you share the lift you use for the microwave cabinet?

It’s a repurposed desk lift. Found it on Craigslist. I installed it upside down so the motor is on the bottom. I needed to extend the controller so it could be operated in the microwave cabinet. It was the easiest, least expensive option I could find. I had originally planned on using 2- 12v dc synchronized linear actuators and controller. $500 verses less then $100 was one reason for going this route. Another was simplicity and time savings. It checked all the boxes for operation and had the weight capacity required. Down side is weight and needing ac voltage. I couldn’t find a 12v dc to 12v ac converter so I ended up with the small 300 watt pure sine inverter I talked about in the video.

Did you happen to make a video of the raising cabinet and how that is possible?

For real! I was looking on the internet for floor heating small spaces and i found electric sheets to continue the electric camper theme but this is legit.

@@xLopez210x I had thought about installing a 120v ac immersion heater in the radiant tank for when I’m at home to keep the camper floor above freezing so I wouldn’t need to fully drain the freshwater tank. Good chance I’ll do that before next winter. I didn’t mention that I used a low viscosity radiant fluid in the heating system rated to -40. Since I used aluminum for the tank I wanted something not only for freeze protection but also corrosion inhibitors. Thanks for the comment and enjoy your build!

@@kenthompson2308 thanks for the info! I definitely need to not only weigh the pros and cons but my skill level as well. I can do some minor plumbing and mimic what i see but my field is in electronics and welding. It’ll be funny having a badass electrical setup but the camper looks like crap 🤣

Where are the large somewhat obtrusive side shelves that come as part of the Project M? I don't see them in your Project M (like where you have that seat).

They are still there under the bench and concealed in the cabinet. They are there to provide structure so I didn’t alter them other than a few fasteners.

Great build man!

I have 3- FivstaSola Bifacial 100 Watt Solar Panel, and a single BougeRV 9BB Cell 200 Watts Solar Panel. Alll are performing extremely well particularly for the price I bought them for off of amazon.

Nice build you have the skills.

What's the total price please.

Hard to say, but I would guess around 17 grand in materials and parts not including the many hours of labor. I purchased the camper used for $9000 and had many of the main components from a previous build. Big ticket items other than the camper would be the electrical system-lithium batteries and components including solar panels, inverter(s), etc.. The aluminum tubing and sheet was around $1200. Again, pretty tough to estimate as I did it over the winter and had many of the parts already. Thanks for the question!
