Not the best picture but it does show the item number and such. The material is sold under the name EVERTRU, I bought mine at Lowes while it was on clearance for less than $3.00 a package.

Here's a few pics of where I am so far. I still have some interior cabinet doors to finish but the outside is done. Tomorrow I am headed to Palatka for my first teardrop camping trip with the Florida chapter of the Tearjerkers. 8) :D
Also in the pics is my tow vehicle a 2011 Chevy HHR panel.

Here are a couple updated pics at a local car show last weekend with the axle flipped, new rims and tires, new fenders painted and installed and the basic kitchen.

The teardrop was VERY well received at the show. Everyone couldn't believe that I can fit in it to sleep.

I have used the roof rack to haul my canoe a few times and it works great. Glad I added it.

Nice looking TD.

The roof rack is a great addition too. I noticed your poles on the roof rack don't have covers over the ends to stop spiders or water getting into them. An idea would be to place some rubber plugs over the ends.

I like the colours too. Great job! :)

Thanks for the compliment. I am actually working on a canopy that the poles will slide over the pipes for the roof rack. I left them open until I decided bow the canopy was going to mount. Normaly I have some pvc pipe caps that I keep on the ends
