My questions were based upon Mike's Post #827 ... "As you might guess, EarthRoamer (or their manufacturer) currently has the molds, and they are not interested in allowing their use by others, even with a substantial payment." My questions: "...who owns the rights to the original camper shell...

There was no falling out between Mike and myself... I was surprised when I saw the demo work done six months ago, and felt if I was in Mike's shoes, I would have made a call to say "Changes are coming, don't freak out"...

Mike... I am wondering, who owns the rights to the original camper shell molds...???... Seems to me that making a direct copy of the camper shell off of an existing vehicle is at best ethically challenging... That is what you said that Dion is doing, right..???... Or am I missing...

This build, at this point, is like watching a wheelchair tennis match... Looking forward to the updates... Mike, I really hope you finally get that one vehicle that you will be happy with for more than a year or two...

At this point it seems that having Dion just fabricate a new rear cabin would have been easier and more cost effective... It also would have left a very functional and iconic vehicle intact... This latest turn of events appears to be counter to the initial reason why you decided to go this...

Is there a fix planned for the rear door...???...

It would also be easier to paint over Van Gough than get a fresh canvas...

Tears in my eyes...

Turkey feathers were in the fridge...half a handful... Long gone, goodbye...

A blog posted a nice before / after compilation... http://tinyhousetalk.com/renovated-2003-mitsubishi-fuso-off-grid-cruiser/

Now that the Fuso is done, I am really stoked how it turned out... The practicality and ease of use stands above the attractiveness... For sure, it's easy on the eyes... Thanks go out to my collaborators, Urban Upholstery in Olympia, Capitol Sheetmetal in Lacey, the tabletop and a pair of...

32 The time between posts has been too long... Not much to offer progress wise, but after meeting the needs of others for a few weeks, I will be back on task soon... OK...???... http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aUHk8YpVtSc/VUl91Fljz2I/AAAAAAAArQQ/D10ZzvrF0Xc/s1600/P1110162.JPG...

31 (above) First off, I will be working out of here soon... A very nice place to visit... (above) Shower sink just before close-up... (above) Simple... (above) Got lucky finding some attractive cedar... Back-screwed with SS screws... It comes out without juggling... (above) A flood coat...

30 At this point in the renovation, progress is measured in getting the final details right... (above) The existing speakers are mounted in frames with covers to fit the rear triangles... Before there were no covers on the smaller speakers and the larger ones had clear plastic covers... Very...

29 (above) The trim work in the cabin has been ongoing since I last posted... Having so much free, clear VGDF has been a blessing... No cost means I can do whatever I want... I like that feeling... (above) Getting closer to the finish line... (above) Kitchen side looks like this...

Hi rffarm... Luckily the Unicell cabin is sheathed in solid plywood over the foam...Super solid... Screws anywhere that seems right... Adhesives when there is a question... The subfloor is 2x6 T&G solid lumber... I haven't looked much at how the box attaches to the frame, but I'll post some...

28 (above) The stainless steel countertop is loose fit on the kitchen cabinet... (above) The rough-cut stove-top cover and the rough-cut pull-out cutting board are loosely positioned... (above) Mind blowing how much horizontal work surfaces are in here now... (above) The seats were...

27 (above) Back in the shower, the bracing from the first wall was removed, the new panel was wiped down to get it relatively dust free, the walls had Poly-U adhesive gunned to the panel backing and the new panel was braced tight... I got a call from the sheet metal guy to come check out the...

26 (above) Layer by layer, the ceiling trim is taking shape... (above) Just enough, not too much... (above) Finishing the ceiling trim was a bit of a milestone... (above) The shower panels were cut to size and fitted in the rough shower stall... (above) I might have to do this in my...

25 (above) The antenna for the satellite radio needed to have the cord go through the roof...The old junction box for the swamp cooler lines was cracked and held together with caulking... It was leaking a little... A stronger and UV resistant box replaced it... (above) As long as I was up...
