    What a great milestone to have wrapped up before shutting down for the season, congratulations. Now that you can physically see how it all is fitting together I'm sure there is a lot of planning you can do while inside sipping hot cocoa this winter.

    So good that others are also building an RV out of the Prius. I decided to do that, but without any changes in structure. You can see the results below in my signature.

    Bill (the super engineer), it has been so much fun to read your progress reports! Thanks! And we all look forward to the day it's completed. Great work!

    Costco and other stores sell heavy duty extension cords so you wouldn't have to keep us all in suspense, er, I mean, so you could keep on working. :rolleyes:
