Those old ones with the metal covers are hard to beat for durability IMO.
The sun has a hard time weakening metal vs plastic !!!

Good Morning, we are stuck in a weather pattern, like Florida, nice clear mornings, and rain by noon. but we are progressing ever so slowly. here's a couple of pics where the side compartments are going and whats going in them, you may have to click on the pics to see the writings. The dump hose gets hooked up from underneath

Looking better and better. You have about 6 weeks to get done, you need to kick up a gear or two, lol.

Hi Frank, LOL, I know it just seems like I go go go and at the end of the day I look and think what the heck did I do? I almost have the wiring done, I forgot the wiring for the microwave and the antenna for the TV, I'm wiring the battery shut off solenoid now and running the heavy gauge wiring for the 12 volt going to the converter ect, haven't done much videoing because of so many moves all over (and under) the coach. The second shift guys haven't showed up at all,LOL makes for a long day.

Hi Terry;
Have been thinking about light. Lost track of how many windows. With all of the features you are building it seems like the inside could be fairly dark. Have you considered putting in a solar tube? Would add lots of light during the day and an inside cover would make it dark for sleeping.

Good Afternoon, Thanks Frank, Gordon, We have two large windows on each side, also the door window and there will be the pass thru into the cab. Popeye, If it's not complete it'll wait till I get home I'm going to have FUN, LOL. Well the refrigerator is in and hooked up to AC (the propane is not installed yet) the unit is getting cold as we speak, . Next up part of a wall then a counter with storage and microwave.

Terry,
I agree with Rail, it will start coming together quickly now. The behind the scenes stuff like wiring and insulation takes a lot of time without showing a lot of progress.

Good Afternoon, Well the refrigerator I installed is working very well (at least on AC) I need to hook up a tank of propane and test it on that. Thanks Guys, If I can get it to stop raining for a couple days I have enlisted my son to help install the wall panels, be a whole bunch faster. I installed a couple of load lights on the back up high to help if I ever need to hook up at night.
