Close! It's a tiny garage with only one 60 watt bulb to light up the place!
Thanks for the compliments!

OK, a LOT of detail stuff this weekend but I am happy to see myself finishing more sub-tasks than I'm starting. I'm hoping to have a roll-out by the end of next weekend... And I finally found a name for it! :elkgrin:

Are you going to roll it out to the Adirondacks to show it off?

HA! Maybe if you want a chassis with no teardrop on it! I may come out (if you update your thread) because I could do with a break.

Just read the build .I like where your going with this. Belly storage like Jim's is a good idea can't wait to see what's next. Keep up the good work!

This weekend was all about getting the underbody painted. I used Rustoleum Restore (http://www.rustoleum.com/en/product-catalog/consumer-brands/restore/deck-and-concrete-restore) for the undercoating. I obviously haven't had the chance to abuse it, but it seems very solid on first impression.
.
The good news is I will be able to put the suspension back together this week.
.
Here's a picture of the frame all wrapped up to enable the heater to keep the belly warm enough to properly cure the paint.

Feel free to PM me with any questions about my thought process. I spent almost a year planning this thing before building. Also, I'm keeping a build cost tally, but you may not want to know that answer though!

Today I finally had the opportunity to pull the chassis out of the garage and take some good pictures (and give the garage a well-needed cleaning!). I call this the completion of phase I. Phase II will be the cabin and exterior, phase III will be the kitchen.
.
Here we go!
.
Here's the rear curbside corner showing the location of the propane output from the tank (up front with the spare tire), a close-up of the propane output, and the rear section of the protected gas line under the trailer.

.
Also, here is a picture of the water tank drain guard underneath the trailer (first picture is from the front of the trailer, second picture is looking from the rear of the trailer).

More to come...
