Got some time this weekend to tackle another project (well everything mocked up, I need to do the final sealant and lock-tite of hardware). I used a set of High Top Vans awning brackets and got my Fiamma F45s awning installed. I pulled this off my M1010 ambo project once I knew I was selling...

At $25 an hour, that is a steal for a shop rate. Most any place I see anymore are closer to $125 per hour. That adds up quickly!!!

Finished up the brackets to mount the propane tank under the driver side rocker area. Tucked up nicely and other than the pressure relief valve, you cannot see it from the side. Very happy how this turned out and just need a jack and remove 4 nuts if need to service. I was using metal I...

Got some free time to get some more of the floor work done. Got short slats cut, drilled and all of them painted. Still need to do more short slat for the middle section. Was able to get the front and middle top sheet cut and test fitted. Very happy with how this is coming out. I still need...

Well.... we are another couple who doesn't pay credit card interest, as we pay off our card every month. Prior to 2020, we just used our debt card to pay for the daily stuff. After the pandemic started, we started seeing a lot if issues locally with skimmers being used (even in Target) so we...

And that is why our 2016 RAV4 is likely the last new vehicle we are likely to purchase. It will be used vehicles for future purchases.

The price people are willing to pay for a new vehicle is just insane!!! I mean people have car payments more than my house payment. Sadly the new vehicle price market is so high, it has dragged the used market to insane levels as well. I just don't understand how this is sustainable.

Still amazed no one has jumped on this.

To close out this build thread... the M1010 is off to it's new home, hopefully to be finished up. Sad to see it go but I also knew it wasn't going to get done.

I would seriously look at the Bean Trailers Bean Squared model. Outside of the price, it seemed to hit all of the marks I wanted. I was looking to create my own but health issues made me realize it was a bigger project than I could do at this point. Made the move to building a van instead.

Bump for the New Year! You know you want this!

Well between being sick and then rain, I haven't been able to get much done. I did get a set of Diode Dynamics SS2 C2R flush mount lights for X-mas. I had also picked up a plug and play dual light harness from them, that plugs into the factory trailer wiring. I think I had less than 2 hours...
