Looks like you did a great job!

My favorite camper was the Coachman that I had many years ago, it was built in 1972, I bought it in 1992, and it had a front bathroom, with the sink on the passenger side, above the water heater, and middle to right side was toilet above the wet bath, then isle with closet on the drivers side, with a door that opens to close off the isle to the back of the camper. This took up the front 3'. The back 6' on the passenger side was the raised dinette (above the toilet tank - it did not have a gray water tank). Drivers side had the closet in the front 3', followed by the heavy refrigerator, then stove, then by the back door was the sink (because it is lighter).

It also had a "Cabinet bunk" above the dinette, that folds down to create another bed for little ones.

I would like to see a raised roof type of system, such as found in the A-Liner trailers. With sidewalls about 6" high above the cabover section, and the folding roof above that level, going lengthwise. So the peak would be really high, and kinda steep.

Anyway I hope that you got whatever you needed into your camper!

Money can't buy happiness but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a

Porsche or Country Coach!



If there's a WILL, I want to be in it!



I havn't been everywhere, but it's on my list.

How many times did you stop and wonder what the heck am I doing? I built an 11 ft TT on an old Jayco frame. It was a lot of work and I enjoyed most of it but did wonder if I was crazy. Good job.

That's really cool. I like the minimalist approach, as well as the inexpensive and practical solutions.
