Rossmonster Truck Build – 2024 F350 (long wheelbase)

There is exciting stuff going on today. The roof got mounted onto the camper shell. It looks so good. Puck lights are installed as well. They also continued the work on the shower and on some of the electrical stuff.

Helping him find out seems to be right in your wheelhouse. Invite him for a visit to Vegas.

Documentation with photos is requested. ;)

Hence my question 🤣. I have to warm this up a little.
 
Today's selection of updates may be "boring" for some. There are no cool rig pictures; today is all about the electrical system. I'll let the pictures tell the story except for the outside pictures of the rear passenger side. There are 3 SAE solar ports connected to a dedicated MPPT controller as well as a 120V outlet. In that area, I will have the Maxtrax table that Rossmonster is known for—a fold-down table that also holds the recovery boards. This is not installed yet, but that + 120V outlet allow me to use the portable induction cooktop to cook outside.

I like the project timeline chart printed out and stuck to the outside of the truck. Another indicator how well organized they are.

That truck is ABSOLUTELY a chick magnet!!!! And when it happens it’s gonna be a really cool chick!
 
It will absolutely be a chick magnet...... for the right chick!

Amazed by this build. Your YouTube video of your tour was very impressive. I would rather see workmanship and organization like this than some of the shops that are more worried about maintaining hospital-worthy clean room for a shop.
 
Absolutely incredible and ridiculous mancrush going on here.

I'm curious where the water tanks will be mounted? Is there only a FW tank or also a grey tank? Do they get raised up under the chassis afterwards? Presumably there is no black tank since it has a composting or cassette toilet option.

I also noticed you will have gasoline heat and an induction cooktop, so presumably no propane built into the rig. Are you going to carry a separate tank for your firepit and an outdoor grill?

The 40-gallon water tank will be inside on the driver's side below the sink. There will also be a 7-gallon grey water tank under the truck camper (outside). It is heated and has an electronic release valve that I can turn on from the inside, plus a manual override in case that valve goes bad.

No propane - correct. I have a small 5 lbs propane tank for the firepit. I will have to see if that is sufficient or if I carry a second one or go with an 11 lbs as an example. For the moment I am not planning for a separate grill. I need to see first, how much space I really have in the two outside storage boxes. I may opt for a Skottle as an alternative as well, but again - I need to see it in person after my gear is loaded how much space I have.
 
Man, those updates keep on coming. Lots of work on the roof portion of the camper today. The upper part of the shower was installed. That is the part that will telescope and down with the roof. I see a decent amount of space below the shower which has me thinking already of what to do with it (I love hidden compartments haha). The upper cabinets have been installed as well. It is taking shape. On the electrical side of things the most visible (to me) part has been the switch for the battery "heating". There is also a switch for "Engine Heat" which I am not sure what does + another (ARB) switch where I am not sure what it does just yet. The hole for the shore-power plug has been cut into the shell and they also installed the outdoor shower control box.

Skottle????? In a Rossmonster????

Unacceptable! Traeger makes a portable grill. That is suitable for a rig like this!!! Skottle??? What do you think you’re building? A Tacoma!!!!
