I'll bet! I've had half a mind to head over there and spend a couple of weeks putting the finishing touches on my rig but I'd have nowhere to plug into. Well maybe I would but I don't know the area and I need my interwebs.somewhereinusa wrote:Trip to the surplus place went well, I only need one window now and will have all I need. Going to those places is sometimes daunting many times I just wander around to get ideas. If looking for something specific the answer is usually "We might have it, if so it will be in that building over there"
I've been getting quite a bit from fleabay, now if it would only stop raining....
Advice time!!
Here is my lovely MSPaint sketch of the framework that will end up inside my truck. Brown represents 2x4's and pink represents insulation. I've labeled the living area and the basement, and the floor I walk on separates the two. The view would be if you were looking from the front or back of the box. Keep in mind, it's just a simple sketch, it's not the real thing.
My question is; after I've laid down the insulation in the basement floor will I need to put a floor(plywood) over the entire basement even though I'll have a floor(in the living area that I walk on) above it? I know I'll need to put something on some of the 2x4's because I can't just install my tanks right on top of the insulation, but will I need to floor the whole basement?
I'm asking because I know I have to maintain some sort of air space for the insulation but my concern is if I do not lay down a basement floor that the air space of the basement will be too big to maintain a warm air cushion. I'm also trying to be cost effective since there are some aspects of my project that I needed to do that normally wouldn't be needed(like a tranny swap).
