My redheaded step child of a camper is on the back burner for a bit. Got some time consuming, but money making projects on the line right now. We'll be back at it fairly soon though. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I completely agree. Not seeing too many builds like you mention anymore. Not that I've seen anyway. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Thanks, tlin! I'm glad to see the ol' gal still has some followers. I appreciate the encouragement. She's coming along nicely. Lots of time consuming details at this point in the game, but we're getting there. Hopefully I'll have some good progress pictures to slap together soon. Sent from my...

@andrew22ha I now have a place that sells to individual buyers. Same materials as those sold by Masco Frabrics. Maybe this will help you on your search. It will definitely help me. http://www.bry-tech.com Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Cool little trailer, Bob! Looks like a fun project too. Definitely appears to be doable to me. I am curious what the underside looks like, and how much working room you have with the drop floor in it. Aside from that, I'm thinking a wider axel to allow the larger wheels and tires you want, and a...

To be honest, I'm not sure of the brand. I still have a connection through a local business that allows me to order the vinyl through there. The company it's coming from though, is Masco Fabrics in Birmingham, Alabama. Over the years, we've tried to convince them to open other avenues for...

Thanks! I appreciate that. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Thanks! St. Augustine, I've been there a couple times. Very cool place to visit. I'm in the panhandle. We happened to be right in the path of the hurricane's eye. Quite a lot of destruction from the coast, all the way up to the north border. Unreal, really. Never experienced anything like it...

Dang. Hate to hear that. If you can get it back down to wood, my first thought would be to coat the wood in resin, then respray. That will give you a nice rigid shell between your wood and liner. Since it's not structural rigidity that you're needing, adding additional weight with a fiberglass...

Lastly, I've nearly finished a couple of panels for the front wall. The cutouts will be used to hold small items (cell phone, keys, wallet, etc.) Once I finish them at a later time, it's simplistic functionality will make more sense. The panels were covered in marine grade vinyl, and a color...

The wiring throughout the walls is complete. Not much to show here. The three splices that I made were reconnected with soldering and covered with standard heat shrink tubing. For now, all of the wiring is nested up in the spot where the fuse panel will be located. Tidying everything up, and...

More progress pictures! :thumbs up: First, the headliner. It is nearly completed. As you can see in the picture, I have 7 missing pieces at some of the seams. Those will be added when I get to the walls surrounding the doors. A bit of trimming will need to be done when it's time for the fan to...

Haha. Maybe my old soul is getting sucked in by the color combination, I suppose. No trench coat though...not yet anyway. : frightened: Glad to hear it, man. Looks like a build that will be around for many many years. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Luckily I have a friend that does vinyl lettering/printing, signs, etc. That material is commonly used for making signs, so I had him order what I needed. Shops like that would be a good place to check, if you know of one close by. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

The ACM that ottsville mentioned is what I will be using for mine. It's the solid core. If I remember right, that build over on TNTTT was done using solid core also. I wasn't aware of a corrugated style back when I bought my ACM sheets, but that does sound nice. Much lighter, I'd imagine. With...

Question: I'm wanting to mount my fender well linings in such a way so that they can be removed easily, but still be able to keep water out. If I'm thinking right, butyl tape wouldn't be the best route to take for this, right? My second thought was using standard foam type weather sealant...

Already said it once, but I'll say it again. That's a good looking build, man. I bet it was an attention grabber. How's everything working out with it so far? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Not sure how much tubing you plan on using, but If you plan on doing a full "cage", with bracing along the sides and top, I'm thinking 1/2" ply coated in resin is going to pack on some pounds quickly. I used quite a bit of that tubing for my 5x7 cabin frame. Just a rough guess, but the frame...

Man, that's a good looking wrap on this one. Will this build be the same as the other, just different colors? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I'm not familiar with them, but looking at the picture, it looks like something that could be built pretty easily using some aluminum channel, struts, bolts, and hinges(or bolts) for the joints. Those may come with options, but if not, I suppose one perk to building them is that you can choose...
