Tyler and the folks at Deerview have some great windows and they're excellent people too! It'll go for Rhino-liner on Monday. I'm gonna put some trim, shelves and accessory hooks after I figure out weather to carpet or line the interior...

Looks great so far. I would carpet the interior for noise reduction.

^^^Thats funny- I was thinking more along the lines of air conditioning considering we'll probly be in the 80's through November. And there's plenty of room for a cooler...

Gotta drink plenty of cold beer to stay hydrated....I saw a post on the internet about these hippies making a portable swamp cooler out of a 5 gallon bucket some ducting, swamp cooler mat, an aquarium pump , and a computer fan....ran off a 12 volt battery. Might be a viable option. They built it for burning man and said it worked great.

I would just park the blind under a good shade tree.

Here's an updated photo with the blind freshly bedlined. Special thanks to Johnny and Sons in Lockhart for the excellent work!

I'm kinda short. Actually, the windows are marginally higher (by a couple inches) than I'd have liked due to my working around the structural members of the trailer. The chair in the picture is short so it exaggerates the look. I'll remedy the issue with a 3/4" rubber floor mat and a regular office style chair that raises and lowers...

After a couple weeks, I finally had the chance to finish up. I just noticed I hadn't reinstalled one of the bolts in the door when I took the picture...

Very nice. It should be quiet and comfortable.

I noticed you used PhotoBucket. I just uploaded some pics and was forced to sit through a 30 second ad for EACH ONE!! They want more for "no ad" access than I pay to host three web sites.

I guess I'll be hosting my own pics from now on. I found their upload only slightly more convenient than my ftp program.

Fluffy indeed! Gonna have to figure out how to get rid of the "new car scent". I've left it open a few days and nothing. On the other hand, each day I've left it open it has rained. Wish I'd known that's all it would take before I went through the trouble of putting together a trough a the lease...

As for the photo bucket ads, I didn't have to watch any but I uploaded from my phone...
