I snapped a few pics with the phone last night before I get it all messed up this weekend.  There's still some things to do, I want to build a cabinet/shelves at the end of my bunk and maybe a cabinet over the front booth windows and the axle flip of course. Still need to get the awning cut down and installed and install the rear window cover. Skylights need trimming yet and I have to install the stereo. That's about it, and those things I can pick at as time allows.

Wow, UP, that all really turned out nice! I'm especially liking the round table. The bathroom area really shines, too. What others won't see is all the work under the walls. Good job all-around!

Very nice. Time to try it out sell it and then start another one.
After all what will we do on the site without all your construction pictures to look at?

Fantastic! You did quite a job on that old Sunline. I have a soft spot for Sunlines because our first TT was an 15.5 1982 Sunline. I have some wonderful memories of trips and camping weekends we took with that little TT.
But for longer trips and snow-birding in FL, we needed something larger.

We had a great weekend and uneventful trip. This little TT is a good match for my Tundra, but I will admit I miss my Ford diesel when towing. Got 10 mpg on the way down, with a strong headwind. Got 12.5 on the return trip with little to no wind. About what I expected.
We basically camped in a gravel parking lot at the trail head of the Moss Lake dirt bike trail near Rapid River MI. Saturday we cleaned the trail of fallen trees and face slappers, which didn't take long at all. I had a 6 mile section to do and was done by noon. Had the rest of the day to ride and goof off. Sunday morn we had a big breakfast,then rode the trail and packed up and headed home.
Everything in the camper worked great. Doggone is this thing easy to heat. It got to the mid 30's at night and even with the furnace on the lowest setting it was too warm. Had to turn it to just pilot and believe it or not, the pilot light was enough to keep it 60 inside. Might do a little tweaking with the furnace gas valve thermostat bulb thing location to try to get it not to cycle as often. Wonder if I can figure a way to use a wall stat? Probably not but would be the icing on the cake.
My battery was at 12.70 when I left and after the weekend was 12.60. The lED lights save a lot of power, but the single biggest thing is no blower on the furnace. Found out Friday that the charging circuit on the converter was fried and wouldn't flow 12v from the battery to the 12v circuits in the camper. I made a jumper real quick to connect the battery to the circuits so I could use it this weekend. A buddy of mine that was there said he had two converters if I needed one, a 45 and a 60. Stopped by his place on the way back and he hands me a brand new in the box Progressive Dynamics Intellipower 45 amp converter, wouldn't take a thing for it. Nice.
So now have to clean it out and get back to work. Will need it again in two weeks. Hope to get the awning done and finish the rest of the interior work.
A couple quick pics as I was leaving. Forgot to take pictures while I was there.
