very cool product! I'm looking at it, wondering if I could modify it into a cab and chassis style of camper.

You could totally mod a slide-in to be a, think it's technically a class C RV but I'm talking out my arse lol Maybe build one of these then tell me how much bigger you want it, I'll cut you out a beta and we'll go from there. I made a few sizes before settling on this. It's not so big that you can't wheel with it but still big enough to look scale. Really it should be at least an 1" wider and maybe a little taller. The big prototype was so cool but hopelessly top heavy maybe in carbon fiber lol I use google and search for images... I have a picasa folder for it https://picasaweb.google.com/116285844807751098397/Winnebagos?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCJLYia3Z4LWJKg &feat=directlink if you find cool pics I'll add them. | |

I just realized there were no interior shots, notice the braces are cut out for the lights and the tables included and here's one of the bottom, no bed mods required. The door The rack and ladder |

Updated the design a little... Thinner, shapely roof supports. Lighter and allows better access to bunk area/rear door This is a new optional roof support for the center, the old one was huge and is still included The rear lower sides were moved to the windows for space conservation The orientation of the rear and frt panels were changed so the texture of the grain matches |

I decided to build another one and actually take photos this time, picture instructions. Step 1 Locate these pieces Apply a bead of glue to the leading edge of the bottom panel Notice the orientation Clamp and set aside |

Next gather these 4 pieces They will be assembled like this Using a paint brush spread out the remaining glue, add more if necessary to form a uniform coat, spreading it out will help it dry faster... |

| Re: Speedweigand Customs slide-in camper
While the first 2 assemblies are drying you need to work on the front panel angles. This is the panel over the cab, the very front and the front upper with the window, sorry no pic. I used one of these To do this I clamped the sander into the vise and slid the parts over the sandpaper instead of sanding the part. They will look like this glued By now the glue on the bottom piece should be set pretty well, pick a side and attach it. Notice the overhang, it's there for a reason After this sits for a minute I'll come back and clamp it That's it for tonight! |

| Re: Speedweigand Customs slide-in camper It's been about 45min since I clamped the other side so I'm going to start the front. The frt upper with the window is temporarily inserted to keep things "square" On a side note, there are a few options built right in for example the frt can be oriented like this to make a recessed light location Again it's been about 45 minutes I used some tape along with the clamps on this one After several hours drying it's time to get the rear panel in You can install it either way Happy Thanksgiving! |

Most excellent step-by-step how to thread MANY possibilities for modification to one of those. A+ on cool factor alone! Surely a scale accessory that should bring added scale points a drivers rig at any event. . |
