Steve,

That's one BIG tear... how long is it? I'm thinking 13' long for my next one.

Yup, 13-feet long, 7-feet tall overall. The floor plan is 80-inches, by 13-feet.
Bed is 58" by 78" Dinette/bed 34" by 78" The dropped floor area is 28" wide 10" deep. The door is 26" by 60"..

Uh 26" x 60" door seems kinda restrictive but I like the look. :thumbsup:

Just for Phyll! She really wants a place tio hide from the elements. "Ours" now resides in Bakersfield! We are currently "Tearless":cry:
I'm talking to a few folks about projects..no deposits though, so, this is the project! Got to keep tweaking the envelope too!
I'm doing a set of plans for this one, and also a set for the design I did for Peg. (Got to keep busy while glue/varnish, is drying!!) :lol:

Actually, plans are done for the Rondack Lodge..just want to build it and fix mistakes before I offer them to others!

Steve- I know you said your deadline for finishing the trailer was for Fish Creek, but, are you going to push it up a couple of weeks so you can attend Watkins Glen? :thinking:

Remember, help is but a phone call away! :thumbsup:

Watkins Glen... nice place to visit...

Yup! Birch/Cherry..Design will wrap around the front and galley.
It's a good way to build up a larger panel!
Finish will be clear glass/epoxy/varnish.
Interior will be Cherry and Curly Maple.
