Thank you, if the low voltage industry doesn't pick back up soon I just might have to take you up on that.

The bolts do not concern me at all, the crack that develops in the body filler causing a leak do.

On to some good stuff. started framing out he cabinets and progress on the shower, it's 34x33 so requires a custom shower pan, more on that later.










Picked up a used RV stove along the way, know very little of it other than it does work. The color has got to change though.

laying out some of the electrical and lighting and the covering up some of the ugliness while still leaving it accessible.

Decided not to decide on the rear A/C unit so it's gonna stay at least for now.

thank you.

Ill fast forward through most of the interior build, you have seen it all by now so nothing new there.

for the door, I had planned on using the glass bi-fold door but that plan changed when I turned one of them into dust on the driveway. I sat on it for a coupe of weeks and just decided to build a new one.


3/4" square tube frame skinned with 1/4 ply and water sealed

For the exterior I threw some color at it then built a table and rear storage for things like tarps, spare fuel etc.








And finally the near finish product - Are they ever really done?
