Thanks I appreciate it

David,

Y'all are a nice family. I know they are watching your progress with interest. Before you know it, you'll be on your first trip!

I really like the design of your standy and the "inside-out" construction method. I wished that I had built my teardrop cabinets first and then the walls like you are doing.

Keep up the good work,

Tom

Thanks guys. I will have some better pics in a day or two. I finished the framing and pulled it outside. I got it covered in blue tarps right now. You can actually see the profile. I hope to get the Luan on the top and then I will probably slow down on the progress for a while. Our baby is coming home Wednesday and he is way more important than a camper lol.

Not really an update but I took a few pictures today with the sorento next to the camper to get an idea of what it will look like en route.

These pics are edited in Photoshop, because the way the ground is back there the sorento was actually setting 1 foot lower than the trailer..

Today was Kylies birthday boy did she have a good time..

Happy Trails









Look how big Riley is now

Glad your little man there is OK. Fine looking little feller.

Also, been watching your build. You are a fine craftsman. Maybe it won't be "blue" too long.

Riley, your future camper, looks so cute!

It looks like you've come up with clever storage for your trailer, too!

Enjoy your family first, trailer second.

Thanks guys, yeah Riley is doing very good. He is the reason I am not working so much on the camper any more, he takes precedence. I will get back to it eventually.

As for the storage of the camper, that is just a temporary home for it. You can see the garage in the pics. That is actually my work shop. I pulled the camper in front of it for ease of access. When it is done it will be pulled back around to the front area. I am going to have a concrete pad poured beside our upstairs garage. I will house it there, and once we upgrade to a class C that will be it's new home

I'm glad all is well. Riley is a fine looking young man. Soon you and your family will have a great time on all your camping adventures.

Riley and Kylie....gotta love it. Makes me all "smiley".
Preemie??? My first GD was 2 lb. 13 oz. She's 20 now, all "growed up" and just fine

Well guys I bring you new news. I am going to be dismantaling my hard work I did on the camper. I got another commercial zero turn mower and it won't fit on my small trailer. So I am going to turn it into a flat bed. We are going to buy another pop up with our income tax money. I hate to do it but Jessica is not into my home built anyway. She wants another pop up
