I've tried, but I can't stay away....

This is the place where you can introduce yourself, and include a photo if so desired.

Simply add doors, windows, roof vent, galley hatch and cabinets, interior and exterior lighting, fenders, tongue box, mattress and interior cabinets, exterior finish material and before you know it, you'll be camping just like the rest of us. Nothing to it, we've all been there. Good luck on your build. Oh yes, BTW, welcome to the forum, you've come to the right place

That's what I'm most afraid of -- not the initial simple build as I can do that. It's the detail work that I'm scared of! Not the act of actually doing the detail work (I'm even better at that the original build), it's that I'm afraid it will NEVER END...

Hey Chris,
Its called an ADDICTION!!! :lol: As I built I found so many things about building that was new and exciting. Mistakes-yes-but they became a Redesign! :o While building I thought of the next build already, as most of us do!! :twisted: As Others have said--if I spent as much time building as I do on this Forum---I'd have a garage full on different styles, shapes and one in the WORKS :applause: :cry: :thinking:
I like your idea of a ceiling pulley system to pull the T/D off the trailer. It takes me 3 jacks and alot of #@@*%$##!!!! to accomplish this feat by myself :x :worship: :thumbsup:
Til later by the fire--John T. 8)
