Re: Travel Mate truck camper

one thing to decide-with the int. lights & vents glued to the roof & multiple coats of white & aluminum paint, the roof panels have picked up a slight bow.
if i glue them down, they sit nice & flat. i think i'm going to try straiten them, i like the accessibility. also printed up a chev 454 decal for the tailgate, & 454 emblems for the hood
i have some "chain", might make tie-downs if i can make it so they come undone, don't want the camper permanently tied to the crew

printed up my trailer graphics, took a pic of our real one & just kept reducing it.
have to fix a blunder, no safety chain hook-up on the crew hitch. also need to wire a plug in it. also have to decide wether to glue the trailer sides down. right now their removable, but have gaps, if i glue them, they tighten & square right up. got the ramps made too.

our cartop boat is next. the quads are a major stumbling block. right now i'm thinking about making my own atv body's & putting them on Hot Wheel atv chassis's.
