    well the next 5 days are going to be full of advancements on the camper. The cabinits should be framed and sheeted, the holes should be cut and the doors on. Im ordering an ARB 32 quart fridge freeze form my local off road dealer this weekend. I chose the ARB for a few reasons. 1. i like the drain plug. 2. i like the basket divider. 3. the removable lid. Hopefully this week i can get all that i want done.

    check out the blog for the latest pics and updates.

    Is that the stove you are using and are you using that tub for a sink or just a template?

    If you're interested I have the below sink/faucet and stove sitting in my shed that I pulled out of my FWC camper when I put SMEV units in:

    So lots of progress coming soon. In fact my goal is to have it almost complete by the end of the next week. I just got it back from.fiberglass and I'm debating if I should rhino line it, or do a roll on. I dunno. But at any rate the camper should b done shortly! We r really excited!

    Sorry about the text lingo, I'm on my Droid.

    You wording sounds like you sent it out for fiberglass? Did you just have it sprayed with a chopper gun/polyester resin or did someone do some actual layup work on it for you?

    Yes I sent out the camper to be chopped. Its finished now and it works fantastic! It flexed just like it should with no cracks or binds. I'll see if I can't post a few pics.

    ok so. It has been a year since i posted on this thread. i have had the camper for about a year and things have gone pretty well. I sent out the shell to get a fiberglass chop. it campe back waterproof and lightweight just like expected. Furthermore it worked splendidly on and off road. i have taken it through some rough terrain and some very rocky and uneven roads. it held up well. i have even seen the whole box flex and twist and so far no problems. after a year of it sitting in the weather i poened it up and found WATER INSIDE!!! i thought to myself where could it have come from. I am still trying to determine the source and i will get some pics up soon. but for now, here are some updated pics. not completely current but you will get the idea.
