Beautiful rig. I love how open it seems to be on the inside with all the windows. Who did the buildout?

Would probably add more pictures here. Good pictures make a rig sell quickly ;-)

Good luck with the sale.
Thank you, It was built by Mesa Overland. Took 13 months from start to finish. EP only allowed me to post 10 photos for some reason. Some
builds go with bigger bathrooms - this one is a little smaller but I do like the living are more open and bright since theres also an outdoor shower.
Thank you!
