    looks better than anything currently coming out of Elkhart Indiana.

    It truly looks like a factory build. The blood, sweat, tears and money you've poured into it will soon be converted into experiences. Build of the year in atmo.

    ^^True statement!^^
    Once upon a time there were some quality units that were made here, but now quantity has won out over quality.

    Today was one of those days. Got a start on the brush seal that is the finish between the camper and back bumper. I have to add an aluminum angle to attach to. I can not get in to drill at my attachment points. Simple job turns not so simple...
    Started attaching the utility boxes. The passenger side rear box was encroaching on my generator...a tight little installation to be sure. I opted to modify the box by cutting a back corner off...I cut a piece of diamond plate to finish it and my neighbor will weld it for me...
    Should have done this along time ago. I needed a half inch and gave myself 2"... been fighting this problem for monthes! The mod is in the back and can not be seen. I have been worried about the small clearance to my generator and am glad to have resolved that.
    Also got the rig retitled as a motor coach! Showed up with the paperwork they said I needed yesterday. New deal today. I needed to fill out another afidavit as well as take it to a weigh station and provide receipts on my materials used to prove sales tax was paid... all done, all good.... 5100lbs. The build complete will remain below the gross weight of the stock truck... gross weight is curb weight plus max load. I am happy.

    Had a lazy day. Got another utility box installed. I finally have a wheel well plan worked out in my head...
    Attached a pic of my cropped corner box. This is the modification to not encroach on my generator....
    Tomorrow my neighbor is detailing the cab for me. It needs some love after living with the barbarian hordes these past months.

    My neighbor Matt is doing a stellar job on the cab. The truck got covered with rust and paint particulate that got ground off an old forklift then the crap layed on the truck in the dew and rain and acted like overspray. Imagine my joy in seeing this when I got back from my travels. Matt removed the rust, buffed out the whole truck and then is spiffing me out with a ceramic coat finish on the house! It looks fantastic!

    Got the utility boxes mounted on the other side after picking her up from the detail shop... a huge thank you to Matt from the Detail Doctor in Jensen Beach FL .772.405.7010... anyone in the area should talk to him about detailing and ceramic coating. So rare to find someone who under promises and over delivers. I am so happy! This ceramic coating is badass! 6 year product that repeals water like rain x on glass....
