Jim,

It's looking really good! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: It doesn't even look like the same trailer that attended the IRG. I see you redid the cabin slide-out the way you were talking about. That's going to be really nice. If we had talked earlier, I might have made mine full width as well. :roll:

Keep up the great work!

To answer your question, no.

No but you do get to a point where you spend a lot more time camping in them than working on them. Your tear is looking great!

Lynn

My first trip was last year at the IRG. No fenders, no epoxy and the hatch was barely attached. This year my first trip will be the Dam Gatheringthe first week of May and I can hardly wait. I better get busy and finish some of the details I want done before the trip.

I did a little more trying to get ready for the Dam Gathering.
LED strips under the doors for porch lights.

Trimmed out the interior.

Installed a piece of trim to the front of the slide out shelf.

I also finished my DO table.

Hey Jim,

Your trailer is really coming along. The idea of LEDs underneath is a great idea. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I may have to steal...err, borrow that one!

Your DO table looks vaguely familiar.
