Yesterday was exciting…

Yesterday was really exciting.  We had visited the camper on Tuesday, and weren’t overly impressed with the progress.  So, we went back yesterday, Friday afternoon, and we were amazed at how much was done in three days.  The taillights are on, the back door latch is on, most of the interior walls are up, and windows are installed.  Things are in place for the bathroom to be done early next week, and then they’re moving on to “accessories,” which is basically everything we are having installed in the shell:  appliances, cabinets, water tank and utility boxes, etc.

The latch is on one of the back doors, and taillights are installed.

The guys are installing the interior wall in the motorcycle garage.

Interior walls are in!  This is the driver side, with cabover and kitchen windows installed.

This is the cabover.  We are still trying to decide what to do with the space in the nose, which is why it is still silver with no insulation or interior wall.

This is the screen part of the door, shut.  Justin had sent us a photo of the door installed, but this is the first time we had seen it in person.  The open space to the right of the door is going to be a closet, which will extend into the motorcycle garage over the wheels of the motos.  

Closeup of one of the window cutouts so you can see how the insulation fits between the exterior and interior walls.

Next up, the bathroom.  This will be our last picture of it with exposed insulation and no appliances.

Slow but steady progress…

The past couple of weeks haven’t been exactly inspiring for progress, partly due to some unavoidable work slowdowns, and partly due to things being done “under the hood” so the progress hasn’t been visible.  However, we visited the camper at Koops’ on Monday, and then Justin sent us some photos yesterday, so it looks like things are moving along again.

This is basically a DOORS update.  The back doors have been manufactured and installed, and the side entry door is hung.  The guys in the shop have also been working on installing the insulation, which has to be done before the interior walls can be put up, which has to be done before the windows and roof vents can be installed.  So, slow but steady…

This is the passenger side rear door.  Obviously, no hardware for latching it has been installed yet.

This is the driver side rear door.  The hinges are made so the doors can fold back flat to the sides of the camper.

This is the passenger side rear door again, from the inside, photographed through the motorcycle garage.

Pano view of the inside with insulation installed.  That’s a piece of insulation propped on the wall in the front left of the photo.  It was made to be the exact width to fit between the outside and inside walls within the frame’s support beams.

And…the side door is installed!  We ordered it from an RV parts store in the US.

This will be the bathroom wall.  It is diamond bead rolled, so it sort of looks like tile.  And, it uses a machine in the shop that Justin says doesn’t get enough use.
