That looks nice. How long is it? 10'

Super nice. I really like the custom cabinetry. One question though, does the stove top come out further than in the picture? The concern for me is scorching tne counter top adjacent the cooktop. I would hate to see your build in flames.

Nicely done! I really like the layout of the galley, electrical, AC & stove, 10# of you-know-what in a 5# bag, but it worked out very well. Any idea of weight & balance yet? Looks to be stout & tight in all respects. Again, great job on planning & build & nice pictures to show how things go together.

That is as far as the stove extends....will just have to be mindful and watch it

Weight I'm not sure on yet, balance as of right now is a little heavy in the rear, there will be a tongue box that will house the propane tank so I am hoping that evens it out a bit. I cantilevered beyond the frame on the rear of course that didn't help and the solar battery which is a good 50lb is sitting on the very end.

I just realized that in any of the pictures it doesn't show the out door shower. The small rectangle will be the water fill for the 10 gallon tank.
