It’s official, I’m on the list for a full size ATC Shell.  It’s going to be Spartan on the inside, except for a furnace/stove, and a passenger side storage bench for batteries and some gear.

i am thinking of doing something similar, but am having brain freeze on design.

The layout is floating around in Marty’s and my mind.  I want the furnace with stove on top to sit in the driver side back corner, but not sure about the propane locker.  Right now, I’m thinking in the driver side front corner.   I also want a tee fitting in the propane line so I can add possibly add a catalytic heater if needed.

 

The bench will run down the passenger side towards the door, but leaving a a space to store the PortaPotti.  I’m thinking 22” to 24” top surface, 2 segments, piano hinged the length, to store batteries and loose gear.  Carpet on the top. 
 

Location of the thermostat and USB/12VDC outlets near the front wall. I’m hoping to make the bed a NS layout.

 

Hope that helps!

i went with the atc shell, and had them put what i think is their std propane door in. its on driver side, middle of camper.  i am thinking, that a better place is in the back corner, so you can have the propane closer,  more out of the way.  with it in the middle, i figure i need to configure the shelves all the way out for the whole length of that side of the camper.

If you don’t mind, what is the latest wait time you were given? Almost afraid to ask.

Never give up! Never surrender! Sounds like a great new travel-box Steve. Just the essentials.
