custom build about to start
Hello folks, Im new to the forum here but not to construction. I thought I would share some photo's from my upcoming build for you all and I am hoping someone would have a clue on how to calculate...
Forum Discussion
First off, STEVEOOO, welcome to the TC Forum!
There is certainly a wealth of knowledge and experiences available to you just for asking, in this TC Forum. Your willingness to respond and working with the suggestions is gratifying. Sadly this is not always the rule, in regards to how we sometimes have individuals, doing what you are doing, that feel they come here to; “Hey everyone, look over here at what I am doing and you could learn something from me and what I am doing here. Be also aware I don't want or expect you to make comments as I know what I am doing.” Many of us are anxious to see what your plans are and what you will be doing and how your project does. Definitely more than a 3 Popcorn Bag to sit in the gallery to watch!
Every time a project, like yours, comes up I make a suggestion that you might consider dividing your project/progress in a Chapter Format by starting separate threads for each Chapter. Then using the original opening thread as the site of your Table of Contents. This will become clickable links for you and those following. As well as emulating what you are doing and removing yourself from that possibility of falling into the slippery slope of the quoted comment, in the above paragraph. The Chapter Format, of what I am referring to, is the highlighted Box below. Those that have not proceeded with this format in mind end up with an unmanageable mishmash of a never-ending thread and the impossibility of finding a specific section from scrolling backwards. Using page numbers does not work as your setting is often different than other users due to their settings and yours for page loading on different platforms. Also, getting familiar with the Advanced Help Bar will aid you too in presenting this information to the forum.
One point I would add is that you must have already realized that you will not be saving money in doing this as a DIY project. The advantage will be gained in that you can take pride that you did it, a one off camper and put things in and on your camper you truly need. Depending on you future use consider these 3 things, Water, Black/Grey Storage Tanks, 4 Season Protection, Heat, Solar, Propane and Food Storage capabilities. All of which I prioritized on my own extended boondocking capabilities.
By all means, have fun.
