What are you doing for sleeping arrangements or is that what the recliner is for! Are you leaving it all original on the outside?
Let's see some more pictures and great job, BTW!

I can get a good nights sleep in a recliner so thats a must!
There will also be a small pull out rv style couch or futon.
The exterior will remain original in color,however I will be adding some underslung toolboxes and a pulldown awning.
I should be posting some more pics after this weekend of progress made.(crazy bussy at work).
I'll be pulling it down the street on Sun to a friends house to have the mounting brackets made for the tool boxes,holding tanks ect.
I will continue to work on it there untill the time I pull out for the Ga rally! wish me luck!

17 days untill d day and alot left to do! i have been puting in many hrs on this project and have gotton most of the hard stuff out of the way, would be two days farther along if it wasn't for the severely pinched nerve in my neck caused by doing all that overhead work,couldn't move for two days,IT WAS QUITE PAINFULL!!
The things i go through for this addiction.

Thanks to Walt and Steve at walts repair service they have been a huge help(where the trailer now sits and im able to work on it any time,even late at night),i am having them fabricate and install the framige for the holding tanks and gen,their also fabing brackets to hang the tool boxes,they also installed the landing gear set and fabricated bracing, found the landing gear on cl , right down the street,this eliminates a big headake because i was having to remove one side of the gear to move the trailer and put it back on when i droped it,the one leg was way to long,i think it came off of a low boy.

Oh! the trailer is all painted inside! i'll post those pics in a couple of days when i get the crown mold and baseboard finished.
