Subject: Fwd: Camper update

Greetings!
I must apologize for the long delay since my last entry. A combination of access to a scanner and being busy with my project has kept me away from the computer. Please post this picture and if it works, I will send more in the days to come.
As you can see by the attached photo, the camper is finished (externally) and has been the MVP this fall hunting season keeping us warm and dry in even the most chilling of waterfowling weather!
While the inside is partially finished and has only one set of cabinets, a coat closet, paint, linoleum, lighting, and an overhead bunk, in place I still have a substantial amount of work to do on additional cabinets, countertops, etc.
As you can see, I did not purchase 4 corner jacks, rather, I bought some used lifters which work even better and keep the weight of the overall outfit down. What does lack by not having the 4 corner jacks is the ability to make it level when in use, so I have to be much pickier about where I camp, or have a good shovel to dig resting places for the tires on my truck.
It has been a long, yet enjoyable process and I am not necessarily in any hurry to complete it. The experience, knowledge, and first and foremost, self satisfaction attained along the way has been invaluable.
Overall the plans were easy to use and I would highly recommend them to anyone with even partial building skill, and a desire to custom make a camper to fit their needs. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about the process. (See Project Registry)
Sincerely,
Jason R. Moore
