Danger will robinson.

Very nice, Johnmaci. Once you add on the typical travel supplies to your fab rig I'm sure that bit of rake will vaporize. And frankly, a little rake never hurt no one, so I wouldn't change a thing. Nice work holding out for exactly what you've been wanting. Rico.

Looks cool. Which orifice in the model pictured serves as a secondary egress escape if the primary rear door were to somehow fail to open properly? Rico.

Wow, what a fine job of documenting your project. I'm very impressed with the handiwork that went into this, and the help from your assistants. I hope you have some great times ahead camping with your reconditioned FWC! Rico

I'm unclear on the concept of the valve. Do you pump it to a specific psi after you've got the desired amount of shower water added? As the volume ratio of water-to-air dips as water is used up during a shower, doesn't the psi need to be periodically hiked to compensate for that loss, so that...

I originally bought a pair of Hellwig EZ-990 helpers to support my 700-lb FWC Grandby Shell on a Nissan Titan 4x4 SV , but the helpers are now back in the box since they weren't up to the job. Hellwig's spec for supportable weight was, shall we say, rather optimistic, so I can't recommend them...
