Tacoma aluminum Pop-up

Back to reality.... After spending almost 3 months and 10,000 miles in the truck its time to get back to work.
I spent most of that time chasing snow in the rockies. A bit ironic considering what an epic year the east had back home, but wouldn't trade this trip for anything. There were plenty of -10 degree F nights but I managed to stay pretty comfortable. Id set the thermostat to 45 degrees and it would only fire up very 30 mins or so, running for 10 mins or so. I could go a lil over a week between propane fill ups.
The majority of my time I found my self around Jackson WY. Scenery was amazing, people were great and the snow was unbelievable, at times. Linked up with some folks who knew the area well to show me around. Im blown away by the terrain that place has to offer!
Durring a long long warm high pressure system to hoofed it out to Crater lake and then to the most North Western tip of the Olympic Peninsula in WA. On my way back I spent a few days around MOAB and Canyonlands. The White Rim Trail is now High on the To Do list.
Here are a few pictures from along the way.
Thanks for all your support and encouragement
Up next, when I can find the time is finally finishing the interior. Id like to use some natural, light colored, breadboard paneling. Hoping that will make it a bit more homely.

Can you tell us a little more about your hinges? Now that you have a lot of use in the camper do you find they are what you were looking for? I understand these types of hinges can be notoriously finicky but since you have made your own more robust version (then what appears to be available) are you happy with them? Any changed you would have made? do they rock side to side at all?
Good work by the way
