Sweet camper. Totally sweet. Look forward to the interior build, but I'm guessing it might get a shakedown cruise before the interior is done.

Nope, we're on it until it is completed and then let the trips begin! :)

 

It's off the truck and on the dolly in the garage work place. Lots of stuff to get worked on.

Quality work done there at ATC!  Yep don’t take it out till you have it dialed in the way you want it.

Nice! Rotopax looks good and I like the personalized decals. We like the storm flaps too, although we sometimes take them off and store them under the mattress if the weather looks good. Like everyone here, looking forward to the interior build out. Have fun building!

Hey three pin,

A big thanks for this thread! We are waiting anxiously for our FWC, and it's really nice to see a very similar unit under construction! It looks like you're getting a top quality camper!

Tight turns,

Captain Telemark

 

El Capitan, you are welcome and we know about anxiously waiting. :)

Driven by that urge to get out on an adventure, progress was made on laying out and building the interior of our camper. I'll add commentary at a later time, just too tired tonight. ;)  Here are some photos.

Going fast, looking forward to how you finish out the cabinets. I plan on using the same slides for the drawers.
