That teardrop looks very nice!, just one question, what material did you use for the roof/ceiling?, is it aluminum?, looks shiny on the pictures....

Thanks.
I was able to get leftover vinyl sheets from my work. they are 1/8" thick and they are suppose to have some tolerance for heat/sun. most of the time it will be on my garage. this is my first built so if I use it alot, then I might spend a little more on my second built and get better materials.

Cool, you may want to consider insulation between the vinyl and the actual roof, at least over here, summer temps can go as high as 100 F, and I would not dare to go around without some heavy insulation on roof, floor and walls, It's looking great! :ok:

I dont like that profile... I LOVE THAT PROFILE. I wish I had seen that rear end before I cut mine out, that is sexy.
There is nothing that I can build that I cannot unbuild. <or> Mistakes will be made, action will be taken.

If work does not get in the way, I'll be camping at Aqua Caliente Hot Springs county park Friday and Saturday night (Jan 28 & 29) in Anza Borrego desert. Maybe our paths will cross.............
