just started a new build a few days ago. I'll get pics up after Christmas. If I don't start this thread now it'll be done before I get pictures up 8)

Wow looking very good :thumbsup:
I have been thinking about building a vardo myself bought
all of the windows and door hardware already, and a dinette cushion set for it.
I might just have to get busy on it next.
Til later, See ya

Very nice! congrats!

I can't tell from the pictures - what sort of framing did you use? I can see you used screw-and-glue method but not what you attached the sheets to. I know some people have used 2x2s, 2x4s, and even 2x6s. I plan on using SIPs.

What a nice build!

Thank you! I have built a few since then and am actually building one right now. This particular one had 2x3's where you are asking. Since then I have used 2x2's in those area's to keep weight down. 2x3's were overkill.
