Serious! Any updates? You are doing a great job! I would love a flat bed! Cant wait to see what the interior turns out like!

Lets see.....

I have glued all of the corner flashing pieces on.

I am currently building the door for the propane storage.

Camper windows are getting tinted Thursday and should be installed this weekend.

Edge Star 63qt freezer has been ordered.

Hopefully this weekend the exterior will be 99% complete

I'll post pics this weekend

teleturns, camper's looking great!! that is going to be a sweet looking rig when you get it done and mounted, HAHA.. like we ever get em done! When your mom decides to upgrade let me know.. I can be there in a few hours with CASH in hand:sombrero:

My freezer/fridge arrived today. It is the 63qt Edgestar. Let me tell you....THIS THING IS HUGE! For some reason my spatial assumption of this unit was somewhat smaller. Luckily I pre measured and made sure it would fit. The smaller 43qt has the same height and depth dimensions, it is just slightly narrower.

I plugged it in to 110v and it went from 70 degrees to 35 degrees within 15 minutes. I am happy with my first impressions...hopefully it will serve me for many years to come.

I'm curious as to how your handling the seams at the bottom and top where the epanels interface the other materials.

Thanks

I worked on the propane door over the weekend. Still needs more grinding. I decided not to tint the windows, but I did get the window frames painted.

I didn't get as much work done as planned....powder was calling!

who has powder right now!? our snow pack has gone to hell...i guess we did just get a snow storm, but i'm over this crappy colorado ski-season.

looks pretty good where you're at though! spring conditions?

and is that more aluminum you used for the door?

Man! Quit your skiing and get back to the garage! Don't you know that's dangerous? How wll you ever finish your camper if your banged up! LOL I usually end up hurt whenever I get on ski's, guess that's just me though lol.

Have you started the layout of the interior yet? 6 months and counting until my skamper rebuild begins! Looking for the best layout possible for 4 people!

Wolf Creek got 16" Saturday night....they reopened for the weekend...so we made the executive decision to make a day trip.

Yeah the door is made out of aluminum....6063 angle and 5053 sheet

I have not started the interior layout, but it is all in my head. The camper will be designed for the girlfriend and I so it will just have 2 twin sized beds.

I got a little more work done on the propane door. I plan on using e panel in the open square.

you know, they make these new ski and binding set ups where you don't have to do lunge's all the way down the mountain...it's new technology in the last 10 years...still let's you free heel up the hill, but then you don't have to flail back down the hill...:sombrero:

just kidding! i give all my bro's that still tele a lot of crap for it...most of them make it look easy too. 16"!?...must have been a good day!

Nice drop knee...I'm too old, I need to lock the heel. Nice pics of Texas' favorite local ski hill...just kidding! Cali got a late season dump, too. Mammoth is having another "late to start" year and the local hills are still open. Anxious to see the progress on the camper. :sombrero:

I think you are referring to Randonee bindings, which I heard Randonee means "CAN'T TELEMARK" in French.:sombrero: The funny thing is I have never downhill skied before and I can't make a downhill turn, so I am screwed.
