Its a little tight. If I were to do it again, I would move the actuators inboard a couple of inches.

Thank you for the kind words

Thanks, I like your camper. It looks really good!

Finished up the foot lockers this weekend

Here is a quick video of the linear actuators after they were sync'd. They are Optical feedback linear actuators from Firgelli Automations. They have a dynamic force rating of 200lbs each and a static force rating of 500lbs each with a 24" stroke. They require a synchronous control board to move...

We have only slept 2 nights so far. We are heading out next weekend for couple nights with the family.

Since that trip I have finished the drawers and started building removeable foot lockers for more storage.

I used a staple gun to hold the skirt in and added an aluminum bar to "sandwich" the material against the body and roof. That is the point we took it on its maiden voyage.

The material used for the popup portion (I've been calling it "the skirt") is 18oz vinyl coated fabric from Big Duck Canvas and 20 gauge double polished clear vinyl for the windows. Nothing is sewn. All seams are glued with Vinyl cement. I've repaired tears in large vinyl tarps for concrete work...

I haven't weighed it yet. I will soon.

Now time for interior trim and some doors. I didn't like the white camper door so I wrapped it in carbon fiber vinyl. This whole time the roof has been sitting on saw horses taking up room in the garage. Time to get it done and installed I decided to bite the bullet and use linear actuators...

Time for wiring. Lots of wiring. I ended up with 11 DC circuits. I'm running a Victron MPPT solar charge controller w/ DC circuit breakers for the 200 watts of solar on the roof, Victron Lynx Distributor, Victron 30 amp battery charger and a GoWise Power 1500w Pure Sine Wave Inverter w/ remote...

When deciding what to do with all the wood surfaces, I knew I didn't want painted plywood. I don't think it would be very durable. I ended up laminating the plywood with vertical grade laminate from Formica. It looks good, it's easy to clean and should hold up over time. I added a Molle panel...
