Yeah, it doesn't matter if it works good or not, just so long as it looks impressive.

Like most of my "mods". But in this case, it actually works!

Shelves that slide is about a mile fom us, so I'm going to take the trailer over to them and have them custom fit for under the bed, the front pass bench, etc. Maybe like Calmark we will have custom options there soon that people will be able to order for those locations.

Those shelves would be quite easy to make to fit with basic tools, IF you were so inclined.

AND if you had the skills. I am pickier than I can do.
Would you like a winter business in Arizona? MUCH nicer in January than Calgary.

I actually would love to do stuff like this for folks, the logistics are not so go though. I would need a travelling workshop.
I have headed south, and it has been raining all day so far south of Mt Hood.

The rain should let up around late May next year.

No problem coming your way to get this installed. Saves you the purchase of a travelling workshop! Which could be reflected in the installation costs

Shop rates are not cheap here in Calgary, you know.

Jim, I would be happy to leave the Skylark at your place for a few days to have you do some mods for me. I bet we could find a hotel or a condo in Banff or Canmoor and spend a few days doing fun things while you are working.

That sounds way more suitable than the portable shop idea.

With this one you really honour your signature
Maybe Jim is willing to rent out his fifth wheel for a few days

Jim would have to rent out his truck to pull the 5th wheel. Probably won't fit the Highlander :-)
That said, if Jim is going to retire in the next few days we could hit him up for lots of stuff that I could probably do myself or with a bit of effort, but certainly not as well as Jim:
- Build a nice drawer for under the bed
[*Put a new countertop on so that we could have the marine stove like Robert. (see the thread isn't totally off topic).
- Add an indoor electric switch for my dual powered hot water heater.
- make the table so that it folds in half like this one.
{*}put in a custom floor?
- * add a 4-way dicor slide to the table
I am sure we could find other ways to keep him busy, especially after we see the stuff he does to the 5.0 TA...
