Are you using only one door? Might get a bit touchy if you don't camp alone. 8) ;)

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

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: :) :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.

:woohoo: :beautiful: :clapping hands: :thumbsup:

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 :pictures: :pictures: :pictures:

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.
