I love that bed liner finish - looks great and really durable.

Thanks for the comments.

This past weekend we managed to primer and paint the camper body with a 2K auto/fleet vehicle type epoxy paint. It is starting to look more like a store bought camper IMO rather than a home brew (not that a home brew look is bad). Pretty soon now we will be building up the inside.

jfet - that is really looking good. Hadn't looked in a while, pleased to see it moving along regularly and you are making great progress Great time and care is resulting in a fantastic finished piece you will be very proud of. Thanks so much for keeping up with the updates for us hungry readers. Some I'd love to do something like this but for now, we'll enjoy the project vicariously.
