Didnt quite get a coat on everything, due to out of town guests, but I got close.

I still have some cleaning and some touch ups to do, but that's basically what it's going to look like. Not bad considering I've never built cabinets before and considering I saved money and used furring strip instead of proper boards. Time to install my etrack and to get weighed.

L ooks great!

Wow! Very Nice. Bold choice of color, but it looks good in there. It may make a lot of sense to go with a dark color to hide the dirty hand prints that go with riding and camping. You will know soon.. You OK'ed this with the Mrs. .. right? Good! Well I like it. Let's see, floors cabinets, murphy bed, electrical, A/C, fridge, coffee pot... Gotta be getting close, certainly useable and comfortable. Good job XR!
Fun times headed your way.

Thanks all. Mcdave, it's certainly not the norm on color, but the wife loves it. I thought it would look nice with all the other wood accents. I have to do etrack, then hammock locations and tie down points, and pulls for the cabinets, then I'm calling it quits for a while. I'll eventually insulate and possibly add windows. I was originally going to add a sink and water as well, so we will see on that. Definitely very capable as is. It was always going to be a simple build. Oh, and I do have a 50" tv to hang for rain out trips, but a friend is currently borrowing it. That goes on the wall above the counter. I'm also going to touch up some frame spots that need it and caulk a few more places. Anyways, I'm looking forward to Fall camping/riding.

XR-duous, Howdy;

Polar opposite of flboy's interior, Kinda like a photo negative. I think that's
to use a new term from Oz. "the Duck's nuts!"

Looks really nice. Nice job. Congratulations.

I'm testing the configuration to see where I need etrack. How does this look? It puts it slightly heavy to the left side due to the little bike. I could move the honda up a little and put the white Z to the right if that made more sense. I was trying to avoid going too far forward for the sake of tongue weight. Thoughts?

Nice job with the shoe-spoon got'em all in there. ,
In a former life you were the lead packer at a Sardine factory, right???

The great thing about the 20 footer is that I still have the cabinet storage and floor space in the very front. I was originally looking at 16', but I think this is going to be better in the long run.

That's impressive. As far as the weight and balance, just try to keep the bulk of the weight over the axles. Here is a tool that may help you some in deciding what goes where, but at some point you will want to hit the scales and shoot for 15% of total on the tongue. https://www.engineersedge.com/calculato ... alance.htm

Looking good in there, XR. I like the coffee pot placement -- you clearly have your priorities straight!
