    Finally, It is usable. Finished up the hatches, installed the doors, door hardware, latches for the hatches, trailer lights, vent fan, battery, AC wiring and most of the DC wiring. It tows vey smooth at even at highway speeds.

    Took it in to get and official weight certificate. The little piggie weighs in at 1240 lbs. as she sitts. It's going to weigh close to 1600 lbs. loaded for camping. Still have to build out the galley, interior cabinets and install the air conditioner.

    Here are the finished exterior pics:

    It was great meeting you. And no, I had already dropped it off at the house when I came in for the VIN.

    I keep looking at the side view and it reminds me of a space command module. Very cool.
