    The last picture was from 2-3 years ago. Yes there were gaps but I've since sealed, insulated and paneled the inside. The slide is not extend in these pictures. Note the 1/2 of a sleep number bed powered by the outlet in the bed (love it). Sleeps 1 (yay), heated, stove, lantern and place to store backpack and such above the cab. Enjoy.

    Thought you guys would get a kick out of the stand. Takes me 5 minutes to remove the camper by myself. Stores in the "blimp" hanger next to our RV and behind my truck.

    It's like he took my 1990's swing set, boxed it in, and strapped it to the back of a taco. BRILLIANT!

    I added an awning to the camper this weekend and replaced the doors. The doors are now western red cedar instead of pressure treated. Going to stain them to match the rest of the camper in the next couple of weeks.

    I was skeptical at the beginning of this thread, but after reading through it it's actually very functional & well done - nice work!

    I mean, it's cool and all, but why stop there? I think you should do a cabover extension too.
