Our 1st Build Begin's

[Dragonryder]

Hello, I know what you mean about the cold weather. Here in the Southwest part of Ohio we have been slowly creeping up temperature wise. It seems like every time it does, we have a rain storm and then the temp falls again. We look to be in the 50s for a while. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I feel like every time we get decent weather, I have to work like a madman to get as much as I can done before the weather changes again. I think the saying, "Here in Ohio, if you don't like the weather, wait a minute" is a very true assessment of the weather here.

You're camper looks like its coming together. Looking forward to seeing it as you progress. Be sure and keep us updated.

Very nice and great progress.

I'll add you to the list of builders that started after I did but will be camping way before my teardrop will be ready.

Hello again, It looks like you're really moving along. It's exciting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Especially now with camping season in full bloom. I figure about two and a half more months for mine.

Slowly but surely, they come to life.

Great job and look forward to seeing more of it as you near that finish line.

Been awhile since I updated our progress , there wasn't alot to show unless you like looking at wood & bondo dust lol . We are in color but have changed our mind and will repaint over the next week or two ( going for a copper color ) ... Plan to start on the interior cabinets and finish the electric this week ... still looking for a name for her , any thoughts ? http://tnttt.com/album_ ... d=49742hts ?

Looking good!!! I'm getting ready to put the finish coat of paint on the exterior and apply the EPDM on the roof. I think the paint is what has held me up the longest. I didn't want to install the windows, the porch light or any of the trim until I got it all painted. Now I think I can forge ahead. Slowly but surely they come to life.

Keep us updated.

Wow Daryl, that is very nice. Can we see a picture from the back. I really like the clean lines and fantastic windows.

Daryl,

Nice job!

Galley/Kitchen in the big aluminum box on the front???

Now all you need to clean up the airflow on the boxy rear is AirTabs:
