Send them to Flashy he'll gladly post them up for you.

Granite! This is a race trailer! How many pounds per square foot? The environmental impact on fuel efficiency not to mention the strip mining process is nothing short of appalling.

How about construction photos?

First off -- this RENEGADE factory is enormous! As in OMG I had no idea!! I'm just guessing at the size of the buildings - but my best guess is 200,000 sq ft and there's two of them! You have to drive between them (car of golf cart).

So there's not going to be any particular order to the pics... But basically they build more Toterhomes and motor coaches than trailers. They have three different levels -- Renegade is the bottom - Explorer is the middle and IKON is the Caddy. My trailer is a combo of the Explorer SKIN -- with an IKON interior. They can not use the IKON skin/wall for the trailer... So I'm having them prime - sand (block) and paint the Explorer skin - and then it gets two coats of clear. Basically I'm trying to get the look of the IKON using the Explorer skin.

The amount of WIRE in one of these is mind numbing! You think our harnesses are complicated -- you have no idea!!

























Note how slick this siding is -- that's the IKON....














This is a used one they're remodeling -- it's a Renegade -- so is fairly plain jane... I'll have a LOT more Stainless steel etc on mine.
But I took this photo because it shows the triple axles -- with the commercial 22.5" tires... my axles will be on air --- and instead of drum brakes mine will be air driven disc.











A 40' piece of the siding that will go on my unit. You can see the fiberglass print through -- thus the primer - sanding - painting.










Another "remodel" -- brakes - bearing service and a few tweaks and re-dos.... Note how slick the paint is.... so that's what I'm doing except all white.












The way my windows will be done - this is the IKON "frameless" version.













This shot is for CHARLIE.....


The TV that is going in the bedroom -- which he'll never see.....













Not my unit -- but this is how they do the wood around the windows etc. This is a slide out - the sofa is missing as well as the doors for the overhead storage.










The galley area being built.
