Hi,

Great! You've started with your build. Some of us are still trying to get to that stage... :lol:

The build looks good. :thumbsup:

Looks great Gl.

Are you using only one door? Might get a bit touchy if you don't camp alone.

Hey GL,

Looking really good. As Miriam would say, GitRdun.

Looking forward to following your build through your pictures. :thumbsup:

It looks like you have a good start on the build. Keep it up!

Well it's been awhile since I posted pics. I still need to hinge the door and build the galley hatch.

Sorry if some are blurry, I was running out of daylight.

G.L.,

It's looking great. You'll be done soon. And when you're out camping, all the work will have been worth it. :thumbsup:

More pics. Took "The Runt" for a test drive. I think it is a little light in the front, it makes a lot of noise at the hitch. I can't wait to use it this weekend :twisted:

Yep, so does mine. The first time you tow it, you check your mirrors everytime you hear it go clunk. :shock:

You get used to it after a while and only look if it's a really loud one. :roll:

One thing I've noticed, when towing with my wife's unibody car it is super noticable inside. With my truck, I didn't hear it at all. Not until we were driving with the windows rolled down did I hear how much it was rattling around.

Good Job! :thumbsup:

Have fun with it.

GOOD LORD!! :shock:

In the time it took you to build your camper, all I got done was sanding my trim

You are a fast working Gringo, Ci? It looks great. and Very campable!! :applause:

NOW, GO Camping Go Camping Go Camping and take pictures!

Way to go Gringo. Very nice. You might put a tongue box of some sort on or a spare tire and see if you can settle that noise. :thumbsup:

Enjoy and

Thnak you all for the kind words.

Mary K - I may have built fast but it is not a pretty as yours is, next one I take my time so it will be a work of art.

Rocky - My Liberty is unibody so that may be part of the problem.

Aunti M. - I am thinking of building a box and maybe holding extra water there to help.
