It's really coming together Dan. Looks great! There's not many of these designed trailers out there. Doug

Thanks. Don't know what possessed me to build it. Guess it was just a itch I had to scratch.

Lookin Good Dan.

Glad you didn't build it "The Scotty Way"

I've redone a lot of Scottys and the way there put together is frightening!

Yes I use the term "re-creating" loosely. Modern technology goes a long way.

There's a reason I'd never buy (though I'd love a small class c) an RVs made today....they are all made with the cheapest of everything that they can find that looks ok and will last exactly as long as the warranty.. This type of construction is EVERYWHERE.

Got the 2 counters done with stove and sink installed. Ordered in some real vintage looking laminate form WilsonArt.

Door is framed up and drying on the assembly table. Will snap a few pics this week. Wiring is mostly complete...all 110 vt...no 12 vt on the original so none here. Two 110 vt lights and 2 outlets. Have an original aluminum , non powered roof vent to clean up and install after roof skin is installed.

Progress is painfully slow. Having a real job again sucks. Got all the insulting done, as well as cabinet doors, all wiring finished, picking up roof aluminum on Fri.

So how much drop floor do you have in the back, I'm thinking of a rear drop floor but afraid it will drag going out of my steep driveway.
