Mike - Glad you like it - be sure to thank Trumpetguy since it was his original idea. The piece of plastic I used is only 3/16 thick but if you use wood I think that 3/8 is about as thin as I would go. Certainly one would not want it any thicker than necessary because you would not want anyone either sitting or sleeping on the area where it might be stored to be able to feel it. Bill

Donna & I picked up on June 2nd. Sorry it took me so long to post but long ride home and lots to do when we got here. All in all a very pleasant experience. We arrived early and were greeted by Chris and Anita. Then introduced to Tommy and Mike. Mike did our delivery inspection and took us to the campsite to set up. He even checked on us the next morning. We did have to return to get the rear power and usb outlets working. Had a chance to tour the factory and even got to see Buzzy's trailer coming back from being weighed. A BIG SHOUT OUT and THANK YOU to Rodney Staggs for doing such a wonderful job on our sea turtle graphic. Here is a link to the inspiration for this design. Delivery Day photo's are up on our profile page. Travel Safe Everyone! Gregg & Donna - and the FST!

When visiting Trumpetguy's "Setting Sail" I noticed a temporary table that was set between the twin beds. Just the night before I had thought that something like this would be very handy for placing a snack, the tv remote or even a drink. In addition, this table/shelf could be used to hold a CPAP machine or similar item for those that need these things. During the day or for travel, the table/shelf is easily removed and stored under the couch/bed. I believe that Trumpetguy made his out of a piece of wood, but, I had a fairly heavy piece of dark smoke Plexiglas scrap laying around, so, I used that. The rough dimensions are 20 x 10 inches, but, it could be made as necessary. Once the piece is cut , sanded and the edges rounded, it is simply "wedged" between the two mattresses to hold it in place. Bill

Nice Bill. Carol covered ours with the same fabric she used on the beds so our wine glasses, etc. don't slide around. I have added a few other mods recently... Soft start kit to run the AC on batteries Two additional Trojan T105s to give me more AMPS. 6 total Rear hitch made locally Added extra Oliver style coat hooks in several locations About to add a shower curtain Propane kit for my Honda 2000i generator Good job on the shelf.

Bill, that's an interesting mod. We have a small portable table we use, but this seems a bit more efficient and convenient. Mike

Its now been about two weeks since I did the installation, so, I went out to check to make sure that the gutters were still on. I'm happy to report that there are absolutely no problems - there has been no movement in the gutters and they are still FIRMLY stuck. If I had it to do over again I certainly would have made the sides longer by about two inches. Since putting the gutter around the curve of the corners of the window places a slight bit of "stress" on the gutter (it wants to remain straight) the additional two inches would have allowed for a bit more straight edge down the side of the window and thus more "glued" surface without any stress.
