Now that the derby is over it's time to check back in here.
I literally hadn't worked on the camper since starting the derby build. I had some work done
for the camper, in the name of a ~102 gallon stainless potable water tank which fits cozily between the frame rails. It made sense to farm out the task and I found a local shop which makes a bit of brewery hardware and they really did a fantastic job with it. I ended up working directly with the owner and it was a great experience. They have a good promo guy and took some footage for some promo videos.

Part 2:
Part 3:
If you watch part 3, you'll see it drops right into place perfectly. He even engine-turned the top panel, although it'll never be seen once the floor is fully installed.
That was about the most I'd done to it in months until life calmed down after the derby. I wrote earlier that the bathroom would be next, but I have started with the bed area, and am getting that usable. B and I intend to take the rig out sometime this month- not for a massive expedition but just to putter somewhere and hang out for a couple days. It won't be much more facilitated than our cargo van camper, but we'll have a pile of space!
To that end, I have the interior walls and ceiling up in the sleeping area with the windows and roof hatch installed. I still need to figure out the wall finishing treatments and what that's going to look like, but the structure is there for hanging the cabinets and building shelving. Things came together this past week:
Weds- ceiling in:
Thurs>Sat- walls and windows installed:
Still need to build out the forward walls then will break it all down, seal the wood components, and then re-install. Then it's on with the cabinetry and some basic wiring.
