Van update, working great.

So how is that sportsmobile doing? Very nicely thank you. I'm still completely satisfied with the van. Here are a few pictures from elk scouting on the mogollon rim, AZ in September. I really should keep track of the days I spend in this thing. Seems like at least a third of my life is in the van. Elk scouting late September, camped on Mt Lemon last weekend, this week living in the van at work, next week elk hunting, after another work week I'll be at Glamis dunes for 4 days, then back to work for a week in the van.
The inverter has been working fine since it's recent repair. Surprising how little I use the thing. I finally got around to taking the van to the transmission guy. He found a small pinhole in an adapter that he made. Took it off, welded it up, and good to go. Makes me feel silly for not taking it in for so long. The tire shimmy turned out to be an easy fix also. I finally got around to balancing the tires. Turns out I never had them balanced, just forgot it in the build. Had them balanced and what do you know, no more shimmy. I also installed a two shock steering stabilizer just for extra peace of mind.
