Laid out the graphics today.

Having done several like this over the years here's a couple things I've learned.
No two campers of the same year, make & model are exactly alike.

I would bet watching these being applied at the factory would be an eye opener.

Even the left & right sides of my rig were not done the precisely the same.

And after laying out the graphics today, I've noticed how unbelievably sloppy the factory graphics were done.

Now I can't un-see the factory errors.



If the J skirt would ever show up this project would be 100% complete.

Definitely a good job. It has been fun watching the progress. What are you going to build for us next?

Maiden cruise up to the church campgrounds was pretty much uneventful.

Except for a flat on the wife's car less than 10 miles after we pulled out from the shop.
Slapped the spare on and we're off again.

Gotta say parking this 41 footer took me about three tries.
Our previous 5ver and my gooseneck car hauler are both 31' and I can back those in on the first try.
Those ten extra feet and hitch-to-axle distance will take some getting used to.

Next build?
Right now I'm looking for a wrecked 2011-'16 F350 DRW.
Got my eye on the one below coming up soon at the salvage auction, 2012 with only 66,000 miles.

Man I'd hate to see the other guy.

Good luck on the truck purchase.

Very nice job. These are the types of threads I enjoy reading. Not the "how do I winterize" or "what should my tire pressure be" type redundant threads. Not sure how I have missed it after all these months of your posts.

Have you used it yet for camping?

Good luck with it.

Here's my rebuild thread

https://www.irv2.com/forums/f103/mou...ad-394089.html

Meemes has a good rebuild thread somewhere here too. Also did a great job doing the rebuild and documenting it (like you have).

Hope we meet at a campground sometime and we can swap rebuild stories.

Thanks Dav
Nice job on your rig too.

Yep, we've made a couple trips already, including the obligatory Buc-ee's stop.

The rebuild threads are my favorite too, do you have a link to Meemes build?


BTW - What should my tire pressure be?
