What membership is this? I'm interested. Thanks!

You're very welcome. I'm going to get my photo hosting situation sorted out so that I can post updates of my rig's current progress. There are a lot of new products available now that weren't around in 2012 when I started putting my camper together. With advancements in solar, LED lighting & battery charging stations, it's getting simple to be comfortable to live the vandweller life.

Thanks! I heard of them before and forgot about that resource. I'm only an hour away from Livingston. Going to check it out. I bought a total of 2 Lucie solar lights, small carabiners top and bought to hang them for max light or ambience and I installed 6 Command hooks on the 2 long walls of the shell. I have a long storage chest for odds & ends on the left side to fill the gap. I velcro'ed a wood cutting board for a nice flat surface/ night stand. There's no doubt it's cozy in the back, but I have a large memory foam mattress, plenty of headroom to completely sit up and plenty of length to lay down, I'm 6'3". I can lock the door on the outside and release the sliding bars from the inside to let myself out. I'd say the back of the camper is done. And front cab is about 90% done. Just waiting for my solar battery charging station and I need to order a 100w solar panel. I have a 2000w inverter I can swap in place of the 1000w if it will fit.
Longer term, I'd like to get an offroad camper like the Runaway Venturist 6X8 to give myself a lot more room.the
