I like the storage, can't have too much. Also ingenious side dinette, like the seat back. Do you have dowel or velcro on the dead fall holding the seat back?

This trifold foam futon mattress fits perfectly on the platform.

Time to head back outside. Removed the backup camera from the tailgate and installed it on the bottom overhang of the camper. Installed a large 3/4" plywood step on the bumper drop area. Also, I found this book to be a very good read.

Installed a quick connect valve from the water tank drain line to the outside rear floor. Now when in camp I have access to gravity fed water when outside. This was a must for me. I use it to fill kettle, wash hands, shampoo hair, ect.

Cabinet doors and drawers. I have quite a bit of storage area.

Your woodworking is great.

I like the way you matched the grain pattern.

You can be very proud of the workmanship you have put into the camper.

Looks terrific.

Bill,   Thanks for the ideas for the deadfall seat back support. I will try the Velcro version first. As far as being ingenious, thankyou, but I think I stole the seat back design from somebody, maybe Bisleybud.

Thanks Frank,   I probably wouldn't have thought to grain match. Again I read posts in this forum that mentioned this. All the build threads were invaluable.
