Great to see the final product (as much as they are ever finished). My hope is that you will share your camping experiences with us :pictures:

How does an aluminum shell compare in cost and weight versus a plywood/spar system? I need to save as much weight as possible and the idea of an aluminum shell seems like it would help me. I'd appreciate some further information on it. Thanks!

bended aluminium frame is one that you dont make in home
so is the aluminium welding
to me it costs ~1000.- EUR = 1300 USD (material, bending, welding)
+ aluminium sheet + insulation + interior plywood

weight is with heavy undercarriage frame ~500 kg = 1100lb

Thank you for the reply! Not as lightweight as I had hoped. I'll still keep this build in mind as it is a thing of beauty!
