Sweet camper. Totally sweet. Look forward to the interior build, but I'm guessing it might get a shakedown cruise before the interior is done.

Nope, we're on it until it is completed and then let the trips begin!

It's off the truck and on the dolly in the garage work place. Lots of stuff to get worked on.

Wow, take a week off and look what I missed. Can't wait for the rest.

Nice! Rotopax looks good and I like the personalized decals. We like the storm flaps too, although we sometimes take them off and store them under the mattress if the weather looks good. Like everyone here, looking forward to the interior build out. Have fun building!

Lookin' good. The inaugural photo!
Nice and clean, ha ha.

Not for long, I hope.

Hey three pin,

A big thanks for this thread! We are waiting anxiously for our FWC, and it's really nice to see a very similar unit under construction! It looks like you're getting a top quality camper!

Tight turns,

Captain Telemark

El Capitan, you are welcome and we know about anxiously waiting.

Driven by that urge to get out on an adventure, progress was made on laying out and building the interior of our camper. I'll add commentary at a later time, just too tired tonight. Here are some photos.

Going fast, looking forward to how you finish out the cabinets. I plan on using the same slides for the drawers.

Bill, when you attach the siders to the drawer side use the two elongated holes so you can do minor up and down adjustments to get the drawer just right in the casing. Then you can add one or two more screws.

Defiantly like your choice of flooring over the standard.
For some reason that white flooring just doesn't look good to me.IMO.
I used some leftover laminated "pine" flooring to cover the stock stuff.Looks much better and easier to keep clean.
Nice to see the project evolve.A great post from start to finish.
Gives owners some ideas.
Thanks

Looking good Ski. I bet The Lady sounds similar to a kid on a long road trip. Only instead of "Are we there yet?" it is "Is it done yet?" every five minutes.

What is the coax cable used for?

Ted, I wonder if that is a propane line.

Keep em coming! Love the deep drawers.

A quick update, I will add more commentary later as the Advil kicks in. The place is looking like a camper shop. Lots of progress on the cold weather pack and the interior.

Ahh, thank you.

 

[billharr]

Sew up two of those cold weather packs and I will take one.

He could have a side business making those Only reason I don't have one is the factory cost and lack of skills to build one
