Default Guess What I did this Xmas??
Hi RVators,

Happy NEW YEAR!!

One guess what I did this Xmas?


I created my own snow dust of course! Check out my over-all sleeves...
We are in the middle of Summer here in South Africa, so perfect Canopy weather.

Santa could not resist visiting me after seeing all the white snow flakes I created specially for him, so he brought me a BIG present! Like a little boy I carefully unwrapped it?


Simply Beautiful!!


Can you guys see that I am Excited, I had to wear a mask to hide it???
Regards
Rudi

Default Holy Smokes!
Even Rudi's LAWN is neat as a pin!!!!!

Finish kit time was a lot of fun for me, and I bet you're enjoying it too Rudi - can't wait to see the stop-motion install of the engine. Your videos are not only a huge inspiration for folks, but a tremendous archive into the entire process of building an RV.

Default Drooling


I'm drooling over my keyboard at that engine.

The lawn...I gave up on that a year ago...now that it doesn't grow, I have more time to build.
