That is the biggest down fall of option A. I like option A best but I know I'll mess them up! Lol so option B is probably the best choice, thanks for those who imputed on this. I have to decide on a water tank now and I hope I can order my windows this weekend. And pick up a sheet of 1/2" maple ply for the doors. So needless to say I have a lot planed for this weekend. And above all that I have 8 acres to mow :( at least it's daylight til 830-900 pm here.

I almost feel bad that you have 8 acres and a shop.... And to think i was super excited to get just under a 1/4 acre in vegas with rv access and hookups. Lol

I guess it really depends on your terrain which Im not sure how it is out there besides you actually have trees. Here they would be smashed, could always build a guard for them.

Looks like a nice big shop to me, just nestled in behind the berm in the hill side a little. For scale, notice how you can't see the bumper on the full size truck parked off to the right?

Well I need input I bought this set up tonight and it does the purpose but I feel it doesn't look very clean
Image
Image
And this is what I'm not happy with
Image
I did look at the option of cutting off most of the mounting plate off and only leaving the needed parts/holes and welding it to the tongue to do away with the bolts and backing plates.

And on another hand i was looking at some other things and think I can pull option A out of the mud for a come back. I pushed it back as far as I could and think its going to work
Image
Ill just add some steel over the screw jack frame for strength and piece of mind. It will be much easier to access and a wider stance for the stability of things. I still question the front I might pick up a set for the front. Although it might be a over kill but will keep the rocking down. And we don't get an audience when were in the camp ground. Lol... And I also made another purchase today I ordered my windows and interior light and some wire connectors from Frank Bear today. I spoke with his wife and they seem to be very friendly people. Well that's all I have for today and as always more to come later :beer:
