[PHOTO BOMB WARNING] I took the camper to a 2 night shakedown run at a nearby state park. My plan is to boondock a lot. But for the next year, I live less than hour from 3 or 4 beautiful state parks. While I'm still working the kinks out of everything, it's hard to justify bypassing those just...

So what happens if you get promoted? Do you have to find new stickers (just a little ribbing from a fellow O4)

Paint looks great! You're in the home stretch!

I agree, but I like beer that tastes good **sound of gauntlet being thrown down** :)

I'd like to congratulate Mr. Ramjet for winning a new truck from the Overland Expo drawing!

It would've been better if you were like the 10th guy - second makes it even more frustrating

Don't know yet. I need to get it weighed after I register it. I'm kind of scared to find out.... Also, I think when I rebuild the roof I'll shed some weight. Currently the side walls are made of some kind of plastic resin that's really heavy

Sure.....blame the wife......I use that one too

Awesome. Good for you. I never take my canoe out. Maybe when my boys are bigger....

Go look at Wal-Mart before you commit. I got a nice queen size memory foam topper that was 4" thick for like $90-$100 The upholsterer that did my other work had a foam cutting knife and trimmed it to size. SUPER comfortable. An electric hot-knife works too. I also got a 2" topper for the bench...

Well, it rained here most of the holiday weekend and since I won't have time to let the canvas air out and dry, I collapsed it all before the weather turned. I did have time to tweak my awning. I'm copying an idea from Jim65wagon. I bought a large tan tarp from this site The local upholsterer...

Can't wait to see it with paint! Wish I could make the rally and we could represent the pop ups.

Total driveway poser pic, but my build has been going a VERY long time. Excited to finally be at this point

Long Post Warning: Big Big Day on the camper! I had a buddy come over and attach the roof. I plan to rebuild the roof next off season and I'll use the old one this season. Then I took it for a spin around the block. This thing hadn't been towed since September of 2011! Looks pretty good behind...

OK, you're right. My bad.

Why do you have to crap all over his new camping trailer? Just be happy for the guy and let him enjoy it.

Don't know about the suspension. Just saw the ad and figured I'd share http://bellingham.craigslist.org/rvs/3779458852.html

Cool find! Have fun with it!

That's the nice thing about those finishes, just sand and recoat. More small coats is better than a few big ones anyway. I used like 7 coats of Varathane for my camper floor and 4 for the counters. It'll turn out great. IF you use 220 grit sandpaper with a random orbit sander on the lowest...

Thanks for the kind words. I've been working on this thing so long I won't know what to do with myself once it's done. This is a weekend project - a LOT of weekends.....
