flboy, Howdy;

I have what some may call 'Bulging Sides" ... I refer to it as extra capacity

I think the flex is built in to allow for temp changes like the dimples in a milk jug.
Just a guess, could also be like the flex in an airplanes wing ... if it doesn't flex
the wings break off and plane fall down go whoomph (not good )

This is the main tank next to the pump and etc.. It sets under the Fridge.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the black thing and what does it do?

That is an accumulator tank. It basically has a air bladder inside and some volume for water. They are installed in the pressured side of the pump and are suppose to dampen water pressure 'spikes', reduce pump cycling, help increase the pump's life and also save battery power.

Some will say they work well, others don't think they help. In my case... it appears to work well in low flow situations.

Don,I feel your pain on putting everything back up in the garage. When I clean mine out I swore I had more tools and stuff coming out than I took in. I spent two hours the other night after work trying to straighten out my storage building.

LOL... I definitely had more coming out that I took in. I bought several tools that I did not have like a Rotozip, belt sander, and a cutoff tool... Gotta have more power tools!

What an awesome build!!! Man, glam you made it through the HC. I was hunting in Wy when it went through, and didn't know about it till it had slowed. Anyway, I am reading through your build, very impressive!!!

I installed part of the stove backsplash tonight. I kinda like it. Hopefully the wife will like it. There is about a 4 inch gap between the back of the stove and the wall which goes down the full height of the stove. I am going to build a spice rack that will drop down in for travel, and then just unlatch and pull up when parked. Still working through a few designs in my head. It also would make a good spot for some pans and that would be easier to implement. I think a lot of those things will come after the maiden voyage in any case. I could be working on this forever on little stuff like that.

We,ll I didn't get anything done on the CTC yesterday, but I did have a great time riding my dirtbike (thanks Tommy!) and I did get my HF antenna back up. I took it down for Hurricane Mathew and just got around to putting it back up.. A lot of work to raise that thing.

Hopefully, I'll have a few more pics today of progress... going to work on the kitchen some more. In the meantime.... here's the antenna.

Don sent you a few e-mails. Ktm parts to arrive today. Guess I should install a snorkel on my air box. It did not seem to run well when submerged.
that no real damage was done. Will know this weekend I guess.

Hi Tommy... got the emails... Just responded. I hope that all is well with your KTM.. I've done that before myself... not fun!

Worked on the Kitchen this afternoon. It is basically done except some touch up painting. More trim work tomorrow and I may get the covers for the water tanks built. Also I plan to test the stove out.

It's just beautiful Don. I'd bet you could rent that out for 1500.00 a month in your market. Maybe more? I wouldn't be surprised if one of your kids wants to move back home, but wants to stay in the trailer....just sayin'

Nooooo... don't think that! My wife and I are just starting to enjoy the empty nest! In any case, if this don't get my wife out camping (glamping) with me.... then I don't think it's possible.. Way too fancy for my taste... but nothing some stickers and posters can't fix. .
