Virgin Bobcat shakedown (redundent?)

[DirkWill]

Greetings! 2 Days to drive to Verdi, NV where Marty installed this magnificent new camper on my '08 Nissan Frontier. Took 12 days to get home to Albuquerque, NM. I will try to post some photos - I expect difficulty, so eventually will get them up. I wanted to show interior shots of the build. I wanted a "Demi-dinette", so that I had a work station (and eating place) but still keep as much of the bench as possible and lose as little of the storage as possible. The Wizards did there thing, and I am extremely pleased! Much of the time I will be solo and use the small table for computer. When my wife is along, we can both comfortable sit, one with legs under table and other facing stove. It is pretty not bad! I'm 5'8", and realize this wouldn't be possible with a larger person, but it sure works for me! The dinette set up comes apart and can be rearranged as "normal" bench. When the space is empty, it accommodates the wag style toilet (pictured grey box looking thing), the portipotti is even smaller... Granted, perhaps not ideal place for toilet, but the upstairs bedroom was taken... I am extremely pleased!! Add one for fan to the Marty and Jeff Club.

I guess I need to create a "new topic". If I need correction or education, I'm open...

Can there only be 3 photos posted at a time?

First I am sure we all welcomed you back in April,but if not welcome.
Your Bobcat is great,as a Bobcat owner I have to say Marty and Jeff sure do fantastic work
Our 09 side dinette was one of the first they built.
For us it was the best choice.
We have a lot of storage and don't feel we gave up any with the dinette.
We have used ours 7 years now and over 50k miles.Lots of long trips throughout the west.
As for pictures just posting them from desktop at the size you did ,usually 3 is the limit.
There are other ways to post multiple pictures but I don't have that info as I do the same as you have done.
Thanks for posting your new rig.

Dirk, the camper looks great! Thanks for sharing. I'm waiting for my Bobcat shell, downsizing from a grandby.

To avoid photo size and number limitations, try using a photo sharing site like Flickr, then linking to that photo.

Congrats on the new camper!

From the photos, your rig looks pretty level. Is your Frontier stock, any suspension or tire upgrades?

Thanks to each and all for your responses. Seth, the Frontier is 6c, 4x4, automatic; I added Firestone air bags, and upgraded tires (can't recall the specs right now). I also installed the Revelco anti-theft system. When driving, there is very little if any difference in the drive with camper on. Weight doesn't seem to be a factor. I had all the power I needed for mountain driving. I continue to find it a very very nice set up!

Very nice! I was very pleased with the layout of my FWC Eagle shell until I saw your 1/2 couch. Now the wheels are turning.
