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...

Thanks guys. It's kind of funny how the sides came to be that shape: I was thinking about the general inside shape of a trailer in terms of ergonomics. I don't need the space in the bottom corners because most of it will be inside the cabinetry, so why not cut it out ?
Same thing with the overhead cabinets: I don't want to carry weight that high in such a light body, so why not just leave them out ?
I've only got 63" inside width, so it gives me an extra foot on top of that. It's a bit of a hassle at the door and I've got a couple ways I can shape the transition. Fortunately, this stuff is really easy to work and if need be I can cut it out, glue in some fresh foam and start again if I don't like it. Nothing's permanent till I start glassing...and even then, glass is easy to rework.
I'm completely clueless as to a 'look' or color schemes or whatever so if anyone with a good eye sees something in the shape as it goes together, let me know. At this point, I've tentatively dubbed it 'Project Glacier' because that's about the speed I'm building at ! :W
More pics should be up this weekend (barring a monsoon).
