Thanks Tom!

I put the tongue box on the other day and wired the battery to the inverter. So now, she's ready to go. I also picked up a 12' canopy, cast iron pot, and a stove and misc stuff. I am working on getting everything together for cooking and stuff.

Thanks for the compliments!

I am adding a dry box on the side with the window to hold a full kitchen.

Also 2 Mil spec fuel cans and holders. And a roof rack I am building. I'll be starting on this in a couple of weeks and should be finished by the gathering in October.

The few things I see that I am going to have to change is the torsion axles. The camper sits too low in the rear, even with a 5" drop ball. So I am going to put leaf springs under it this fall. And probably scissor lifts instead of the fold out jacks.

I'll probably just build another frame all together and use this one for utility stuff.

And I need to find a way to stop the cabinet doors from opening when traveling in the cabin.
