Re: Big Bertha Build thread x2

As we pulled out of the driveway with the camper my wife asks me if I think it will make it. I told her there's nothing like a road test pulling 11K pounds. It was either going to go or stop......We made it with out any major issues. Nine months from start to "funtional" enough to use. I was just worn out at this point. Our first trip we had no functioal gauges, power windows we put up and down with a motorcycle battery, no ac, and no running boards to assist in climbing in. It was a huge hit at the camp ground and the questions and pictures have not stopped since. I thought it would get some attention but not this much. Yogi and Booboo bear even came and checked it out.
