I started at the beginning and I'm all caught up now. I'll somehow have to make the adjustment to no longer watching the distant past. Anyway, you two are terribly charming and that stuff you're using is properly called heat shrink tubing. (We certainly don't want to be improper.) Shrink wrap was the thin clear plastic found on new LP records in North America to protect the jacket. Our European brothers and sisters didn't use it. Yeah, I'm that old. Don't tell anybody. 😉

Wait till you finish the build, the drive is going to be completely different. It will even be hard to make it up small inclines with the 4 cyl. To adjust for that, ONLY essentials and light weight build out. Vinyl peel n stick floor vs heavier faux wood planks. PVC cabinets instead of wood, just do anything to cut weight down and only essentials and she will handle better cross country.

If you like pickles, try this recipe. Bread and Butter Pickles 1 gal. sliced Cucumbers/vegetables, 5 C. sugar, 3 C. Apple Cider vinegar (not flavored or white), 2 Tbs pickling spice, 1/4 C. coarse salt, 3 galic cloves (crushed), 1 large onion (sliced), 2 large green peppers (sliced), crushed ice to cover. Place all sliced vegetables, salt, garlic, and ice in large stainless steel colander, stir to mix salt and ice through the vegetables. Let sit for 3 hours in the sink to chill. BRINE: In a large stainless kettle, mix the sugar and vinegar with pickling spices, heat until sugar is dissolved. If any ice remains in pickles, try to remove as much as possible as you transfer them to the brine. Bring mixture to a boil. Stir to make sure all pickles are submerged. Have sterilized jars ready when pickles are hot. Fill jars, top off with brine, seal jars with sterilized lids/rings, using a waterbath canner, process hot jars for 10-15 minutes, depending on your elevation. Remove jars from water, place in a draft free place to seal.

@JoeandEmmaLee they keep a long time. Up to 50% of the sugar can be replaced with granulated sucralose that measures like sugar. My mother tried a batch once with all sucralose but they went bad. So she did some small batches to see how much sugar could be replaced and still have the pickles preserved.

In hindsight, would a wireless camera have been worth the extra cost? Then you don't need a signal wire but will still need power. But that can be found more local to the mounting location. Running camera from park light power is easiest, but park lights need to be on for camera work. This is a future upgrade in mine that is coming. The swivel wheel trailer is easiest in my case. Wire routing is a problem when the interior is finished.

Possibly yes lol. In the future we could always upgrade to wireless but we wanted an all in one radio/ camera system. Also, at least now we have the power and video wires ran from front to back.

I bought my 1981 Toyota Huntsman for $2,500. And after that I rebuilt absolutely everything in this motorhome, and in the end I had to completely change the rear axle. Several times I almost broke down mentally, realizing how much time and money I wasted! And to this day I cannot say that I have solved all the problems with this motorhome. But how many skills did I gain as a mechanic, electrician, and builder.... Only those who have taken on something like this at least once in their life can understand you guys.

IT'S ALIVE! (or at least waking up) Catching up and pleasantly surprised to see you on the actual road, WoW! Love the attention to detail with the placement of the lights and getting them all level equally spaced. Using the tape to write on and all that, bravo! It will be interesting to see how you tuck in all of those wires as you put the walls up! Only question I had is when you installed the Max Fan I could see there was loose plastic on the top. What was that? Great to see your excitement and the joy of seeing the light at the end of the very, very... long tunnel!
