Its really comming along nicely. I understand what it's like to push to get a trailer done for an event. Good Luck. Keep up the good work.

Happy Trails

Well' I'm almost camp-able. Not completly done, but camp-able!
I have the interior completed, wired..ready for the mattress! Pic when I get the masking off the window openings!
I got the wheel wells done, although the fenders need to get painted.
Image
I shot 4-coats of spar varnish this weekend..Prep..Finished shot tomorrow!
Image
And, the galley..
Image
I'll install the windows, hinge the galley hatch and door, and do basic road lights, then off to Watkins Glen for the first New York Tearjerkers outing!
When we get back, I'll get her "really finished" for the trip to Camp ADK Tear-Up.

Fantastic build Steve! :applause: :thumbsup: :D

I read back through your web site tonight at several of your builds; they're all sweet.

I also ordered your teardrop building manual...if I read it really carefully there may be hope for the end results of my efforts. :lol: I'm at the bare frame stage now and just getting ready to construct the floor.

Best wishes on the devilish details; I'm sure it's all going to be worth it when you're out camping in that beauty.
