Thanks, Waveslider; is that your rig in your profile pic?

That's actually a super deep storage well; it's like close to 20" deep. I'm using it for my 42gal gray tank. For sure! Come visit us in FW; it's an easy flight into DFW. We hosted two groups last week; reach out if you want to setup a quick trip-

Hey SootyCamper, We'll test the doors more once we're conditioned inside but the shell of the door is a block of foam with an aluminum skin and a double paned (acrylic) lite. There's a few companies on Alibaba making very similar doors and I feel good about this one but if there's issues, we'll...

Ford F-550 Lariat SuperDuty with off-road package; loaded with upgrades. This is basically a brand new truck and still covered under Ford’s bumper to bumper warranty. I was planning to put a custom built camper bed on the truck (similar to EarthRoamer) but my wife and I are expecting. Priorities...
