    Thanks! Wish I could afford the new lift panels so I could get the roof back on it.

    Sorry for the delay in posting. Ran into some issues with how I was planning to trim the camper so I had to stop at the bottom of the side walls until I get the front jack brackets and some custom fabed trim pieces for middle joint and top of the front wall. Have been keeping myself busy with electrical and finishing the Teak wall panels.


    Here's a couple pics of the trim.

    The running lights.

    The waterproof through wall fittings on the front wall for the LED flood lights out the side of the camper. These will be used for the LED flood/backup lights on the rear wall as well.

    The back of one of the through wall fitting. My son got a wee bit close on this photo.

    The LED porch light. This fixture needed some modification to make it worth using.

    Should finish the in wall wiring, exterior lighting, and get the insulation in the walls this coming weekend.

    Folks;

    Think I'm going to retire this thread. Doesn't seem like there is much interest so I'm going to save myself time it takes to maintain the thread.

    No. Please keep it coming!

    This thread has 6,500 views, a lot of people are following along.

    Sometimes there is just not a lot to say when following along with somebody else's build.

    Yes please continue the thread. Really enjoying this build, was holding off on commenting until the interior started coming together. I'm very impressed at your overall scheme and approach, can't wait to see it finished!

    For sure do NOT stop it! After starting a few build threads myself, the posts come and go. But it does not mean people are not watching and getting valuable info out of it. Please keep up the good work and posts. I get tons of ideas off everyone on this forum. Keep it roll'n!!
