Looks great in the pictures. You will be the only one that sees the flaws. Give it time and you will be overlooking them also.

Yes, now, I see the runs. I agree with you, though, when you write that you'll finish building the trailer and then go back and re-do the outside later. The advantage I see in doing that is that you will be able to get lots of advice on how to fix it; plus, you'll be able to use it in the meantime. Who knows? You may decide to go an entirely different way later on, with maybe fiberglass or aluminum sheeting; or, you may decide that it doesn't bother you that much. It's your trailer and your call. What's most important is to get out in the "wild"' and enjoy! :)

Very true. We might put on a wrap at some point... who knows.

Interior trim, shelves/cabinet and rear door seals. And a little caulking here and there.

Going for inspection and registration Tuesday hopefully!

Awesome camper! Time to load it up and see the world close up. Probably like you I have covered a lot of ground by air but have never had a chance to explore any of it. Airports are seldom built in the most scenic places and schedules don't allow for sight seeing. Yours is truly a one off. If I ever see it out and about, I will be sure to say hey.

Thanks Friz. I hope perhaps we can make a point to meet up somewhere, someday. I want to drool on your piece of art!
