Thanks for the nice comments. Time for a bit of an update. We had guests for the holidays and did not get any work done from thanksgiving until after new years day. This is the reason I have not been posting in the build thread. ;)
The past couple of weekends we have worked on the loft wiring behind the headboard, including AC power for a sleep number RV mattress (very comfortable btw), 12V accessory outlets on each side, and 20 inch gooseneck LED reading lights on each side. We then built a maple headboard to cover all of the wiring and a side nightstand to hold the air pump for the mattress. The slots in the bottom are for access to the air hoses and will be covered by the mattress. The loft will have carpet on the floor and on the curve section of the forward ceiling. There will be a larger maple nightstand on the other side in addition to a large wardrobe.
In the rear of the camper we have started installing the 37 gallon freshwater and gray water tanks which will be under the kitchen counter. On the left side when facing the rear there is a section on the floor for two size 31 AGM batteries and above that will reside a 3000 watt Magnum inverter (when they get around to actually selling the new 3000 watt true sine version with generator sharing). I have some plumbing parts coming and will be diving into that soon. Then I will be working on the propane system for the furnace, water heater, stove, and fridge.
