If you're planning to cook inside your camper - you might want to think a little more about ventilation - maybe an extra fan?

Ah, the purpose of your drop floor is now clear to me! Very clever, and very well executed.

Wow! That's one amazing Super Tear!
I'm assuming the entrance will be across from the galley?
Everything looks so well constructed and nicely finished. Clever floor system.

Its to balance out the weight...

Greg


i dont think i have ever seen a tear with the axle so far forward before it should be interesting to see how it comes out


Very nice work your doing. :applause: :applause:

Here in our country that is not an uncommon thing at all. Meaning having the axle in the center that is. Its a very good way of balancing the trailer. ;) :thumbsup:

The folks here look at me real strange like when I show them the tears with the axle set more to the back. :o
