    With the square back I don't think the roof will be fiberglass, it may be like the NO- Boundries having a PVC material for the roof.

Thanks. I did not see the photo initially, but then went back to the first topic post and found you had added it there. I am excited to see these photos and look forward to seeing more. Given the changes, is the frame wider making the axle mounting points closer to the wheels (which will make for a stronger axle if it is)? The best I can tell from the photo you posted today, it looks like it likely is. I don't know if that is information you can share right now or not though.

Hopefully, the black and gray tank drain hangers have been changed to make them less likely to fail as well. I certainly hope so.

According to his FB post, it is 7.5' wide, almost 23' long and 3500 pounds and with a square back.

  Looks like from the outside picture I am wrong, the roof does look like it will be fiberglass, just not a continues one piece from from front to back.

If it is squared off, then it might eliminate the need for the spoiler. I'm not sure how it would be sealed, but a seam there would likely  not be any more difficult to seal than the ones between the roof and sides.

Today's picture of the pantry shows me that if we were to purchase one, one of my first mods would be to add shelves as it currently looks more like a wardrobe than a pantry.

Personally I just use Facebook more is all.  I mostly just read posts here and respond to private messages about things.

And with that answered, check the beginning of this post for today's new upload!
