Juneaudave wrote:Thanks Thomas...I steam bent the two inside battens yesterday and am letting them dry. Tomorrow, I'll mount the hatch so I can "eyeball" it so the inside battens line up. Like the hatch, I'll bend two more stips for the outside and roundover the edges to 1 1/2 inch. Unless I screw up with the router...ought to be skookem!!!

I really like the way the battons accent the wide horizontal lines of the stripping. Beautiful build. The only comparison I can make with my trailer to yours, is how long it took to build them!! :lol: :lol: I hope to get to see it in person one day.

Thanks Joanne...unless it warms up there in LV...I might as well stay here!!! I've got to say...I've had just as much fun building the SlumberMAX as I have had building a community of friends. If I ever get done, No. 2 will be completely different!!!
