You've got your img tags backwards. You need the one with the / at the end.

You beat me to it.

Lookin' good!!!

Silkstone,

This one is really a beauty! I like the quality finishing on the inside too! All in all I must take my hat off to you. Great work!

When painting fiberglass, do you use a primer? Or did you go with a gel coat?

Thanks, All is molded with a white gel coat in the molding process, the after paint is in a base, clear, just like vehicles... actually the paint is done by/at a bodyshop..

To give an idea of dimensions and features...

Physical Dimensions are,

interior width 75" or 6'3"
interior length 132" or 11'
interior height 74" or 6'2"

exterior width 79" or 6'7" without flares/step
exterior width with flares/steps 93" or 7'9"
exterior body length 136" or 11'4" plus spare
exterior overall length 180" or 15' plus spare

Interior features,

10 gallon fresh water tank
shurflo pump
4 gallon suburban hot water heater
10 gallon tote along grey tank
2.6 gallon porta potti
outside shower
16k suburban furnace
2 burner suburban rangetop
20lbs lp tank
2.4 cu ft novakool 12v compressor fridge
elixir converter/charger
800w inverter
Dvd/cd/radio/ 7" lcd all in one unit
wired for 6 speakers plus a sub
lp/co2, smoke detector
27 group battery
3500lbs torsion axle
tube steel frame

and I'm sure a few other things I'm missing out.
the basic layout is,
full/double rear pick my own matress
d/s galley
front leather swivel chairs
enough storage including a full pass thru under the bed.

not sure what the weight will be but the goal is to come in under 2500lbs.
