Still working away at getting the basics completed. Wndows showed up, so once they are in it'll move faster (I hope). ;)

Going to Moab in early April, :D so I'm trying to get most of it completed by then.

Really clean install, the BlueSea fuse box is really a good choice.

Are you planning to install someting like a Maxxair on your roof vent?

Sure is looking nice! Do you have a part number for that ceiling paneling? I like the look, but don't see it at my local Home Dumbo. Keep up the good work! Regards, Kyle

Roof is just Luan (sic?) with a good primer & semi gloss paint. Should be a nice weekend here in Colorado, parts are here :delivery: so I'm hoping to get a lot done. :banana:

I'm thinking no Maxxair, though it would be nice. We have problems with Yellow Jackets around my neck of the woods. Putting on a Maxxair would end up being a high-rise apartment complex.

Built the front shelves and cabinet today. I've been wondering for weeks what kind of door would work. I'm not a good enough woodworker to biuld one myself. Got lucky and found a 'ironing board cabinet' door, 50 x 16. Perfect for what it needed, though kind of pricey at $90.

What color should I paint the framing? I've got some dark brown semi-gloss that might look good .. or maybe polar white like the door? :)

I would go for Polar White.

White door on dark brown... not sure of the result.
