The Ultimate DIY thread - Ubuilding (Pics)
Hey all, There is another, albeit smaller, side to this whole RV thing - those crazy folks who build their own for whatever reason. Whether you've scratch-built it from the ground up, assembled a kit...

Last time I weighed it, it was about 450 lbs without batteries. It's probably still pretty close to that, but I'll weigh it tonight.
I hear you on the battery care. At the marina we swap out batteries every 4 years because people DON'T maintain them. Just today I was readying a boat that hasn't seen its owner in 2 years. I'm not putting new batteries in it until the last minute so we can set up a charging schedule (which most people don't want to pay for and some think we should do for free)
EDIT: weight is about 665lb including one of the two batteries, so about 600lb without or 720lb with both batteries. With what I have left to do, I'm pretty sure I'll come in under my 1000lb target.
