What will be holding the roof up after the air raises it? Why all the open areas along the bottom of the walls? I like the art work on the camper. On the drivers side there was a little arm hanging off the roof. What is that for? I am impressed with your dedication to this build. An can appreciate the money layout for a project like this.

I just raised the roof with the compressor for the first time and it went well. Took a few seconds to raise and it did stay up after I shut off the compressor. Not sure if it would bleed off air if I left it for a long period?? I could shut off the air at each output..I don't know yet. It will need some extra support when it's up. Flip up props or air props???

Leaving the spaces at bottom until I put in truck and then I can form fit some spray foam and fiberglass over the wheel well parts. Saves some weight and maximizes interior space.
There is a little arm on each side for the jack brackets.

Money is adding up but still under control and within basic budget. Some things I have chosen are more top end, like a $250 fan, morningstar charge controller, high quality wiring and better jacks, etc. So if I go over budget, it will be because of higher quality parts. Not a bad trade off.
