High Desert of eastern NM

Postby Centerlane » Sun Apr 05, 2020 1:37 pm

So, I've tired of tenting and have decided to build a TD.

My hats of to those of you that build in small garages, or no garage at all.

I've been in construction most of my life, have a large shop, a lot of tools
and it should be a quick easy build :) So I thought :frightened:

If I can learn how to post pictures, I have a few.

EDIT: FIRST PICTURE WAS TAKEN 12-01-19

Where are you? We're in Raton...

Just go to your profile & start adding images, from your computer into a gallery. Once they're in your gallery, you can click on them individually, swipe across the link that opes (I use the center one) & copy it into your post thread. It's easy to use, you just can't upload directly to your thread from the computer, it's an extra step to set up the gallery. I usually open two versions of the TNTTT in the browser, so you can go back & forth between them when posting images. Hope this helps.

Soo, one day when I discover how to add photos, I will. :thinking:
It is to be a Benroy type, the " box" 54" H X 57" W X 120" long.
I didn't want a wide track, it's already gona be 3" wider than most mid-size vehicles.
I wanted the height , because ,I want a real bed, if you call a fullsize mattress a real bed.
2-challenger doors :cry: they are lotsa$$$

Nose, I"m in Clovis ,the side no one comes to, but every one wants to leave..

The Whittington center is on the list, probably one of the safest places on earth, unless you've a big mouth.

Been there a number of times.

Maybe I'll learn up the pictures mannana.

Stay safe and stay in the shop :beer:
