Can you sit in front of the a/c and take a picture looking rearward? ;)

Here's looking towards the back with the top down:

Here's a view of the bed looking in from the front side door. Jean made the quilt out of blue jeans she got from Goodwill. A back pocket makes a nifty place for the TV remote:

The contrasting finish was a real PITA to do but it turned out pretty good. :lol:

Is it in any danger of blowing off while you are putting it up? That seems to be the sticking point for me. Trying to figure out the details of how to make it work during less than ideal conditions.


I know what you mean about the restraint system, I just haven't figured out how to do it. I will say that I raised in a strong wind and its heavy enough it didn't budge.

Thanks everybody for the nice comments! I haven't been very active on the list lately (too busy with the new trailer :( ) so I appreciate the support!

Bruce....congratulations and my hats off to you on a very well thought out and executed build. Wonderful attention to details and design ideas. Your work is an inspiration to many of us. I hope to see it this coming camping season. Tell Jean Hi and give Misty a pat for me. Doug

You should know, I stole that idea from you! :lol:

Thanks Doug and thanks Dave. I take that as high praise indeed coming from builders like yourselves.

Go ahead and get your project started because it's just like having kids...if you wait to start until you're skilled enough or rich enough, you'll never do it. And just look at what you'd miss!
