Wowser! Amazing, truly amazing.

I'm freaking out when it comes to measuring, buying and then installing four sliding shelves.

Any chances of getting a complete under-the-sink photo of the hepvro? I can kinda see it in one of the pics. (needy person here).

Will do that when I get back home.

Excellent work and great finishes, enjoyed the picture show.
I'm sure you're probably ahead of me on this one, but do you have any plans to add custom wood LED fixtures to replace the stock white plastic ones? It would be a huge finishing upgrade inline with the direction you've taken and the work you've done, especially the light over the new galley.
Nice job!

All the work looks fantastic. I like all the SS/AL trim in the galley area, looks like a professional kitchen!

The doors and drawer fronts really match well. What stain did you use?

Looks amazing! I'm surprised how much of an updated look the doors and hardware give.

Really nice work Jim!

Really great craftsmanship. So now I want that oven and the pantry with a tambour door. Looking forward to meeting you and your better half at a rally or on the road sometime.
There needs to be a rally featuring you, Chris R and Santiago with Iowa Dave selling tickets and providing baby back ribs marinated in fresh homegrown garlic. (Paid for by ticket sales, of course.) The rest of us can pitch in and supply single malt scotch, wine, fresh roasted coffee, rhubarb pie and ice cream brought by people with electric bicycles. I recommend anywhere in Colorado although I will travel to Alberta, California or BC to see them.

Ask, and you shall receive.

I had to go vertical with the HepVO valve, as the sink drain was too close the the drain pipe to fit horizontal.

Nice job!
I have thought about the lights, but the ones installed do work fine. Lots of the components I supplied, I did so because I could upgrade the quality and performance. Who knows though, maybe someday.

Escape uses a spray lacquer, and I just used a brush on oil-based satin polyurethane. I imagine my fronts will develop a lot more patina than the panelling over time, but they would in all trailers.

I am keen on any kind of gathering, and will use any excuse just to meet up with good folks and have fun.

THANKS JIM!

I've captured the photo now. I appreciate the effort, truly.

It was worth the wait for these pictures. Wonderful craftsmanship...extremely well done.

(Edited: Love the stainless steel look but I'm surprised there are no SS panels in the refer to take it over the top? )

And now for the pics of your daughter's trailer??

In my haste to get it to her a few months back, I neglected to take final photos, and she is headed out with it for a few weeks right away.

I'm quite sure it is as lovely as your new beauty.

I keep going back to look at your pictures in awe and wonder. So nice. Beats those 40-foot monstrosities hand over foot.

I would have never thought that Shaker would go with that oven and the modern ss look but it all works extremely well. Those are very substantial looking drawer pulls. And that ss backsplash finishes it all nicely. But I really like those deep drawers. What a fine set-up you have put together.
