Lookin great Mike!!!

Any plans for detailing the outside or just leaving it all silver?

Any pics of how you ran the electrical?

Could you possibly get a panoramic of the inside so we can get a feel for the size?

I know...lots of questions.

P.S. Thanks for having me over a couple of weeks ago. Learned a lot. Of course I also have millions of other questions but figured I'd better hit you with them one at a time.

The wheels definitely were the finishing touch. Looks awesome. :thumbsup:
That's probably the profile I'm going to go with but on a slightly smaller scale. Just have to decide if I'm still buiding for the motorcycle and skipping the galley or building for the Focus/Escape and going a little bigger. :thinking:
Did you ever get a final empty weight?

Yep, the shape turned out better than I expected. :thumbsup:

Yes, the wheels are a good match!

I'll put the profile online for you guys! It'll be able to be scaled!

Haven't got the final weight yet, but I will. I should mention that it towed like it wasn't even there. Makes for a good choice for dashing across the country!

It was a good outing. We slept really awesome in there! Don't know if it was the 5" queen sized mattress, the central air conditioning, or the 2 dog night? :lol:

Additions? Yes, I want to build a galley. This time we didn't have a galley, only 2 coolers back there. 1 of the coolers was the ballast! :beer:

Thinking about adding drawers under the shaker bench too. Other than that, just little finishing up stuff...

Oh, the trailer did bounce around quite a bit on 36 in Indianapolis, so maybe add some shocks.

Thanks Sharon... I never looked closely at the tow vehicle lines, but now that you mention it, yea, they do work together! :D

Mike...

Mike,
Very nice Job. It looks awesome, but then, I already knew you do good work :lol:

"Oh, the trailer did bounce around quite a bit on 36 in Indianapolis"
What is the air pressure in your tires ?
I found the Big Pink rides a whole better if I reduce the pressure.

Where did you get the wheels ?
They look great !

Great trailer, looks so much better and "futuristic" next to those humongous rigs.

Also comforting to know it will likely last 50 times longer than that ugly tub parked behind it ... Designed to Fail ... :roll:
