I finally have something that looks like a camper. I'm amazing how long it has taken me to get to this stages. I have been outside or in the garage most days cutting sanding drilling......

If you leave your clamp on for 2 days you will need a mallet to get it off and the wood will be attached to the clamp. Titebond appearly will bond wood and metal....

Was having an AWESOME day after several lost days... set my front wall in place and discovered I shifted the sidewalls 1.5 inches backwards....

Lesson learned check your drawings and over laps before you get excited to make progress. Not sure exactly how I'm going to flush cut that but I will figure it out....Image

Going with Tongue and groove Front and back. Planned for the whole camper to be TnG but cant find 8' boards and 12'ers doubled the price. So I went with smooth sides. Image
