New Build...first attempt.

[Rick Chiddy]

Well thanks Harley,

Actually, I think I can say it's done. At least as done as it's going to be for a while anyway. If the weather is decent tomorrow, I will take some pics and post them. As long as other stuff doesn't get in the way... like... yard work.

I'm sure I will be adding things as I figure out what I forgot, or something else I can use, but for now... it's campin' time !

Later,

Ok Folks,

Here is the finished product.







I was going to call it, "Minimalist" ... but I've decide to name her " Bits n' Pieces". That's a perfect name seeing as how that's what she is.

I want to thank you all for the encouragement and advice along the way. Without this forum, I would still be fixing mistakes.

Budget permitting... I'm sure I will be building another. Possibly a foamie, although I am partial to wood.

Thanks again, and hopefully I can make it to a gathering sometime. Happy Camping !!

First camp trip tomorrow !

I'll let ye'all know how things went.

Ok,

All went well this weekend. A little tough backing in to my spot but, that will come with practice. Very pleased with my built in cooler. Had a DOWNPOUR at 4 A.M. Sunday Morning... I stayed dry after I closed my roof vent. However, I definitely need to get my windows installed. Felt like a steamed clam Saturday night.

She towed like a dream, no sway at all. Almost forgot it was there.

Couple of things I have to take care of but, overall, very satisfied.

Now, for my next project.................

Well then,

One Wiley Window just about done. I forgot to take pics and I'm just beat right now but, I'll get some when it's complete. Just too hot at this time.

Huzzah,

Fresh air at last. Just finished up one window...all I have to do is put the screen on and I'm good to go.

I'm sure it will make a difference in the air flow on those muggy nights. Of which we have been having way too many this summer. Hopefully, I can get the other side done in the next couple of weeks.

Outside view (duh)
