Thus Begins NightCap's TTT Build

Postby NightCap » Mon Sep 22, 2008 1:33 pm

I have my design and am ready to get started. All I have is some Visio drawings, but that should be enough for me to work from. I am a shoot from the hip sort of guy. First I have to rip the tent trailer stuff off of my New TTT's frame.

And of course the side wall design.

You know I think I am. I was thinking of one of those sit on the toilet and shower, but there might be enough room to stand in there.

Thanks M and Barb,

I can relax and take my time on this one. I had to hurry on the first one cause I couldn't wait to get it in the woods. It is amazing just how much you learn on the first one. eh?

Hey Merry K.

Typo Intentional. Can't hide your personality forever. It is fun to get posts from you.

I'd love to retire and build unique campers but the money would be a problem. It is good to hear you are still out there camping. My family has wimped out. If it is not hot and sunny they don't want to brave it.

I am intrigued by the elliptical swoosh deal. My swoosh attempts were lacking. I did however come up with Image as a half way point. Is is ok? Simple but enhancing?

Thanks for all the comments.
