Please, no laughing on this one, but I'm thinking of adding in one of the rear corners, a combined port-a-potty and shower room using 1/2 walls and a shower curtain for when the rear is raised. I may have to offset the door from center a bit, but hopefully that won't look to funny.

Anyway,

Hello from a fellow newbie planner. Check out 48rob's Cabin Car :thumbsup: :thumbsup: He did a really cool shower install. I think it might be what you're looking for. 8) 8)

A few pictures of tent camping trips I've led to the Finger Lakes National Forest are at http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showt ... last/#LAST, but they do not allow trailers at the campsite, tents only.

Hey Stu,

Here's the first set of drawings... when I have some time I'll expand the set a little bit.

Hey there. We camp often in the Finger Lakes as well. Cayuga Lake is a favorite ... we usually drive down to Taughhanock (or however you spell it) for a day trip walking up the creek to the falls. My grandparents had a cabin on a small creek off of Cayuga Lake when I was a kid. Always loved your neck of the woods. Some great geocaching around there, too.

:thumbsup:

Okay, I revised the profile for you, and also added the chassis information. Don't use the original drawing I posted.

thanks Cliff,

I plan on adding a few more sheets this weekend; the important details about the hatch connection for example!

I might add some pictures too, like this for example...

The drawings are made in Turbocad. The models are made in either UG, Turbocad or Viacad.

Mike,
Pictures good, the more the better. :D The hard part is getting a design to fit my 6'3" height and wide shoulders.
