Looking good...this thread inspired my wife and me to stop and look at tear drops at a trailers sales lot.   $8000- $11000 for a new one!! We like them but not sure they are for us.  My wife likes them because she thinks we would travel more!!

  Keep up the good work and keep posting!!

This is where the progress is going to slow down. So far i managed to find the A/C for the camper at the pawn shop the had it listed for 24$ and the sed it wasnt working  right so i plugged it in and turned it on and all it did was hum so i turned it off grabbed my knife and stuck it through the vent slot and pushed on the fan blade. Just as i thought it was froze up from just sitting i gave it a good push and it broke free ;) and what do you know it went to working like it was new blowing clold air :) i talked them down to 20$ and walked out the door

 And this evening i finally got time to start drawing my blueprints of the interier this is what i have so far and its all subject to change

I went with a flatter front to allow us to use the front wall and a back rest for sitting ;) the A/C will have a drip pan with drain

I don't know if you've specified what your going to use for wood on here or not, I just check in periodically and look at the pics.  I have used luan(sp?) on most of the floors in our house and it works and looks good.  I used the birch luan...LU...AHN in most of the house, but used the oak in our bedroom and it looks great. Hillbilly wood floor. Sealed in semigloss poly. Might check it out for your floor. Nice job so far. my 2 cents, dp

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
