Finally pictures, it's about time

Procrastination I know. I put some pictures of Teardrop #2 in my personal gallery from early December and the last one is from the first week in January. It is far from done and after many delays (holidays and vacation) I finally started working on it again. I will take more when I get a chance. I have got about 12 hours into it so far, if you take away the beer time, maybe 6 hours into it

Good job Woody. What are the vents for? I need to get down there and see what you are doing. I haven't had any overnight stays in Miami so far this year but I know they are coming up will be in touch.

Woody,
You've got everything in there! Really like the wood detail.
Is it 5' wide?

Bev,

Thanks, It is 54" wide on the interior, instead of 60". It will fit a full size mattress. I did my layout for 60" and then changed my mind due to a free trailer that I happened upon. It is the same profile as my "Woody" 4' x 10' x 57 1/2" wide. Double 20" radius in the front and 48" radius on the galley end. Kenskill profile of sorts.

Bufordt,

Thanks as well, The vents are for the A/C cooling air intake for the unit. Once I mount the unit I am planning to mount the exhuast on the side like my my other "Woody". Let me know when you are in the area.

If it is the picture I think you are looking at, it is the blower motor housing and ductwork for the hot air exhuast for the rear end of the A/C unit which vents to the side of the teardrop
