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...

Thx for checking out the build. Do you have a criticism to make ?
If so, I'm genuinely interested to hear it. I've heard pessimism before and I've got pretty thick skin...but not much patience for a post-and-run.
Any monocoque structure needs its complete structure for its strength. Were I to tow it today, you would be quite right. When it's complete however, the sum of its parts will see it being stronger than any commercially built RV at a fraction of the weight.
The ONLY reason that ALL rigs aren't built this way is cost.
Building in epoxy and glass is a totally different world than stick-and-staple. I've owned and rebuilt enough 'conventional' RVs to know that the build standards generally..ummm...how to put this delicately....:E

Thx westend. Some folks have a hard time with things done outside the norm. I can appreciate that some folks aren't on board though, it is what it is: sometimes that comes out as sniping.
