I started this a couple months ago and had my camera stolen so most of the earliest pictures are gone. I will add more as I find them. I am building a an old pop up frame. The completed ttt will be 6x8 and I wish I had gone with 6x10 as the extra 2 feet would have made a huge difference. When I started I expected to be camping in a couple weeks, but it has now been a couple months, and there is still a long way to go.

Yours is about the same size as mine; I used a Starcraft pop up frame. I hear ya about the extra 2 feet making a big difference!

Smokey,

Looks like you've got a good start on it. Is that the rubber roofing your using for the top?

You know what they say, hind sights 20/20 (should have added 2'). I don't want to build more than one, but you learn so much from the first build .......

Do not confuse what you hear with what I mean.

Smokey

Looking good, They do take longer than you might think. Mine took a couple years, so you are going pretty fast compared to most of us.

Stay with it. The fun never ends

Yes it is EPDM. I got a remnant from the local RV dealer for $30 and he gave me the glue so I couldn't turn it down. I should get the windows and the other door built and installed this weekend.
