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...

...thinking of making a video for my photobucket account so i can show and explain how i built my camper..
That's a film I'd wait in line to see ! I've been thinking about doing that so I have a visual reference of what still needs to be done but, alas, I can't walk all the way around the trailer far enough away to film it and I can't move it right now because it's blocked up level. Not that I couldn't block it again, but I don't want to because the structure isn't done to the point where it's self supporting yet.
And yeah, glassing sure ain't the cheapest way to build, but it's a good one. I love that I have almost no wood in the structure itself and what is there is encapsulated in epoxy. If flies get perfectly preserved in amber for tens of millions of years then the cedar and fir I'm using ought to outlast me at least, right ?
And after that, who cares ? :B
Thx for that Paul, that's exactly what I was wondering. Both my old moho and the camper I got this hood from just had a louvered vent that was always open. I was thinking that something like those dryer vents with the flaps would be about right - good to know I'm on the right track. I'm trying to avoid buying RV-specific stuff because I can get marine stuff inexpensively on my business account but that's one of those things where I'll just buy a solution.
Thx for following along on this long, loooong road guys.
