It's Usable

Postby john curtis » Mon Aug 16, 2010 10:57 pm

Hello everyone.
Its been awhile since I have posted anything so here goes.Wahoo it's usable.I finely found the time to get some odds and ends cleaned up,the big one of getting the running lights finished and getting the hatch finished.I hooked it up to the truck tonight and everything is good,and it even rained for about an hour so it got its first water test and no leaks.Still have to finish wiring in the power center and get all the lighting instaled then finish the paneling and staining and build a matching tounge box.Hope to finish this winter so it looks like I will have something to do.
We have this week off of work so we are trying to get away for a few days and give it a run.
Thanks for all the help from everyone on this great forum,the advice,the pics and just thanks.
Hope the links to the pictures works out.

Congrats John, it looks real good. Where are you heading for the shakedown, west to the mountains or just somewhere close like Wabamum Lake?
