Rytheric posted:The only thing I have a collection of is 6 months of huel I saved up using my stimulus money. I have been thinking of buying a mosenberg 590m magazine fed pump action shot gun. Reason being, I've had a lot of random people just randomly try to climbing into the back my box truck only to realize I'm in it eating pizza or something. Please OP, get a rear door for your box truck. Also why don't you run the exhaust pipe through some underfloor heating.

Rytheric posted:Lol. This is actually the first place outside of discord and the workplace that I've mentioned it. One coworker almost wrecked the car in tears over me potentially inviting a lady to my watertower observatory and then telling her to go poo poo in the outhouse afterwards.  also hold the gently caress up you dont have a rear door? lmao that makes more sense

It's interesting to wonder which of the several fire considerations is the most likely to set the box truck ablaze first. Thanks for keeping us updated. I Applaud your attempt to tiny house.

Since not burning down the box truck doesn't seem to be a big concern, is there a reason you didn't just get an extension cord to plug the space heater into?

You know what, I've never heard of multiple causes of a vehicle fire, so as long as there's more than one hazard going at a time you should be fine

Rytheric posted:I could have sworn i started with my reasoning somewhere. So here we go. The reasoning: Honestly, after this backstory, I think you're cool and I'm rooting for you. Reiley posted:Don't call this the Grover Truck, own your own creations. I think he could combine "Ry" and "murder" to call it the Ryder Truck. Could even paint that in big red letters on the side. Regarding the firepit: I'm not going to go on about safety or anything, but I think you should go with the wood stoves posted easier in the thread. Especially if you're going to try to bring dates back to your truck. I think the stoves could actually look nice and classy; one would look intentional, functional, and asthethetically pleasing. As opposed to a 55gal drum, which would not.

"i dont want kitchen and bathroom because they are unnatural, but I want to hoard everything on my 2x2 meters space at the back of my truck including setting it on fire and putting a power generator here (which I wont do because power generators are loud, better use my trucks V8 that's substantially quieter), also I want to shoot people with a shotgun because I dont want to use doors and lock on my house"

Asleep Style posted:Since not burning down the box truck doesn't seem to be a big concern, is there a reason you didn't just get an extension cord to plug the space heater into? I essentially made one to go through the wall. But a standard extension cable setup wouldn't work because that's a 12v space heater that only has alligator battery connector clips. I have to redo it when I do my fuse block anyway.

Spookydonut posted:Please OP, get a rear door for your box truck. I believe I answered something similar to this before. So my box truck breaks down reliably. When it breaks down I know where it has broken and can easily fix it ive managed to create fail points that are meant to fail before catastrophic damage occurs elsewhere these points are easily accessible and easily repaired. I am worried that if I adjust any part of the exhaust or intake that that would shift the dynamic. I may make changes once I rebuild the engine, but an exhaust heated floor would only work for a few hours after running the vehicle. So I dont know how useful that would be.

just put some extra pipe there for love of god, you will sniff exhaust fumes very time the drat engine is on when you are stationary, you already made this truck into a driving fire hazard but you refuse to just add 1.5 meters of pipe

gently caress the naysayers, sincerely saying go for it. This world is already weird as gently caress and getting weirder by the minute so I say roll with it and live your dream. Just be careful with ventilation / fire prevention so you can continue to be around to keep posting.

Everything about this thread tracks perfectly with everything I know about contractors and people who work in construction, particularly in rural areas. The old schoolhouse paid my grandfather to haul off their woodshed once they got a real heating system, and he proceeded to put it up on cinder blocks and live in it on and off for the next fifty years. He also had an outhouse, and I think legally his Troll Shack may actually have been considered a hunting camp. In the 90s he put in RV hookups for water and power and got a camper with a bathroom in it, so he could piss outside and drive the camper to the local campground intermittently to empty it out. This was only when he couldn't find a girlfriend he could scam into letting him live with her. I don't remember the logic behind all these decisions--I think they involved permits and taxation and what qualifies as a permanent structure. But he could provably build a real and functional house, and was paid very well to do so, so I have to imagine something about the paperwork involved in building a house leads a certain type of person to spend a lot of time fantasizing about bizarre, elaborate workarounds.

Ry you should get multiple trailers for the truk with different functions (eg a totally soundproofed generator trailer, a mobile hydroponics garden, animal stable) thus forming the Ryder Road Truk-train. At night you could park it in a defensive circle like old West wagons around the timber shitter
