Did you make the back be able to be opened? I didn't see any hinges, but that don't mean much. Looking good though!!

Thanks Tom!
No, I'm just going to make it so it could be removed in the future. To load ,you would need a loading dock. Or a lift ? Think I will leave that to the next guy. LOL Besides you only have 7" to the bathroom wall.

Built it this way more to be able to get the stuff in like the kitchen and bed.Then I will close it up.

I kind of thought that was what you mentioned earlier, but I didn't go back to look and see. That is a great plan though. You can put a larger size sofa or recliners in that way.

Yep. I spent most of the day working on an older 50HP boat motor I am trying to sell, plus I want to install this on my trailer:

Then I get to clean up the yard to possibly sell my house, Go to NE Ohio to see my family, put a new roof on my house..... Ah, the joys of warmer weather!!

A little more work. Moved the Shore power line and Insulated the rest of the roof.Will need a little bump in the wall but a couch will be their to cover that.

Also got the rig insured . Went with Blue Sky. A little work with underwrites and good to go.

The only good thing about running all the wiring is you know where and how it is ran for future help with any wiring problems. Hopefully you never do have problems, but knowing the full design and layout is valuable.

You have that right,38Chev !

Built the tub frame. A little over done ? But it won't move !

Going to foam the floor seam now. Then back to wiring .
