camper looks good. Where did you get the trim. Is it alumninum or PVC.

Thank you! The trim is pvc. I picked it up at lowes, works well but is only bendable so far.
Til later, See ya

I have to say I REALLY like this camper.

I think I am going to use it as a base for what I am going to build, The Family Cramper.

Trying to fit two five foot bunks, and a queen size bed all in a 5x8 trailer. Losing the galley gets you the added interior volume to do something like that, and not having the traditional tear drop shape lets you get the height in the end for bunks.

I think I may keep a simliar shape but reverse it, so its taller at the front and boat tails to the back.

Thanks for sharing this one, it gave me new inspiration!
My build, 5x8 modified benroy "Smiles to go". Started April 2nd 2015, first trip August 2nd 2015.
