New Cab Over, Sofa and Door



Here is a new picture of the front of the camper. Since I had to raise the camper to fit my truck better, I realized that I can add more cab over space. So I added 6 inches more room. The second picture is the jack knife sofa that I got for $100. At first I was a little discouraged about the price, then I found out how much they want for a new one, plus shipping! I actually lucked out because now I can make the back cushion the right size to fit my camper. Last picture is of me and the door I got for $100. The door is 70 X 24 1/2. It has a screen and locks. It has never been used! I wanted to include myself in the picture because my wife can't stand it when i wear my "spenders". Ha Ha. Sometimes she actually hides them from me! Anyway, I thought you guys would get a laugh outta that!!! Next step is to insulate the walls, and install wiring. My Dad is coming out to see our baby and he is a master electrican, so I'll be looking forward to the wiring!!
Later,
Dave

Front and Back Wallls

This is the finished back wall. You can see how the door is offset. Should be pretty cool to have the extra cabinets on the one side!!!



Here is the front wall. Finally got it right! I also picked up some insulation last weekend too!! You can also see on this picture how I added 6 inches of wood to the cab over section. I actually used a router to joint the studs, and first used dowels to glue them together. Once the glue was dry, i used screws. The extra small sections of 2x3 are only there for support.
