Good to know! I am very big into customizing and making my toys one-offs! Well done!!

That trailer is beautiful. One of the best looking paint jobs I have ever seen on a RV. (I am kind of partial to Silver/Black myself). Also like that there is no windows in the doors.

Thanks Matt. I wasn't sure about the door window thing but now I think I'm with you. When you have them you can't see out anyway because they are frosted and there is never a way to have a shade on them.

Back from PDI. Hopefully everything will be buttoned up in the next couple days and shipped to your dealer.

I would, but no place to put it. Driveway gets more narrow every time I plow and it's 500 feet long. Over 3 feet out there now and it's only the beginning of Feb. I also am not thrilled about giving it a 12 hour salt bath on the way home. Trust me, if it was workable, I'd be there...

We talk about all the snow your getting everyday at work.
I would be upset if I lived in your area, your trailer looks great! I would be going nuts to see it in person if I were you.
But I understand there is nothing you can do with the snow your getting.

Feel free to deliver it to South Jersey if it helps. We have no snow and I have plenty of room to fit your trailer.

Thanks for the update today Bob. I really appreciate all the info you've passed along throughout the build. I hope I haven't pestered you with too many questions along the way....


I tried to send this in response to your PM but your inbox is full and can't accept any messages...

Yep, its universal; works for FR, Airstream, Prevost... all 'em.

Funniest schematic ever | EDN

I've spend 46 years scaring electronics to work right, with prayer, laying on of hands, treats and innuendos, and holding a large screwdriver capable of shorting out almost anything... and not afraid to use it!

nice looking rig! I am about to order a 340x12hp and am seriously considering full body paint. I was surprised to find out yesterday that if I give them the paint code to my Maximum Steel Ram 3500, they can use that for the blue part...how cool is that? Good luck with your new rig..it looks fantastic!
