Inside wall done. The ply is cheap Home Depot sanded-one-side 5mm ply. I saw no need to use more expensive ply for the inside. Besides, I like all the different grain patterns in this cheap stuff.

Next I'll be driving to Charlotte, MI to pick up 4 sheets of marine plywood for the outside of walls.
By the way, anyone know how I can keep from having my pics go sideways. I've tried rotating them to no avail.

John, there's a sticky thread at the top of the Forum Technical Support discussion area that talks about rotating uploads. It's a combination of how mobile devices store metadata and how this older forum software interprets that.

The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...

I took some time off to do some motorcycle riding and backpacking before the snow sets in. Worked all day yesterday and the camper is starting to take shape.

Hi Ken, There may have been a few folks who would have a different view of my "calmness" when I was moderating. Quite a few things have changed since I was last participating. Good to see some of the old folks still around.

Front wall all framed up and insulated. Inside panel put in. Should start on top of camper tomorrow.

Yup, John. It's all good 'til things go sideways.

Enjoy watching the progress John. I’m jealous. You live in a beautiful part of the state. Up there, Fall colors are or close to full peak I’ll bet. We’re lucky to have so much hardwood forest to roam around in.

Three walls done. I've temporarily tacked it up to get an idea of what it will look like. Next I'm going to go out back and get one of my stickered up piece of walnut to use for some trim on the inside.I've also got to organize my shop to get some walk around room.

Since your project is a camper I wonder why you decided not to build a cab-over design.
Good luck finding walk around room, its as allusive as a bobcat in my shop.

Hi John
You're teasing us with glimpses of your shop. Can you share a little more?
