I really like this build! I started out avoiding curves, but at this point now, I'm thinking of building something like this. Ive been reading this thread, and the other related thread as well. Really just a great little camper. And I think I can get my kerfing right on my first build. I've seen a few different jig/setup methods used for it, looks totally do-able. Great camper here. :D

Nice. I was at Crazy Horse and Mt. Rushmore 2 years ago. Also, hit Devils Tower. Very cool.

What size tires are on the Big Pink. I have 4.8x12 tires on mine. Just was wondering how well they did on the freeway. That is if you used the freeway.

I have the 4.80 X 12 tires, running at up to 80 mph (Speed limit in North Dakota) for several hours and the tires and hubs are barely warm to the touch.
I'm running 40 or 45 PSI (I can't remember which) in the tires. They are doing great !

Good to know. That was my concern was freeway speeds. Idaho is 80 mph on freeway and 65 mph on most other highways. Thanks. :thumbsup:

I did have the tires balanced at a trailer shop. I couldn't detect any difference, but for $5 a tire, it was worth it to me.

We are warm and cozy :D
The Big Pink is doing great in the cold weather!
We're only using a small electric heater recommended by a TNTTT member.
