Well, I pulled the trigger today and ordered my -9 tail feathers from VAN's. Looking forward very much to the build. Thanks everybody on VAF for the largely anonymous insight and inspiration. Also thanks (I think) to Doug Weiler, Pete Howell and Tom Berge here in the MSP area. Talk about your "$50,000 test ride". These guys will get you in trouble if you give them an hour and an open mind.
Being a TV producer, and always looking for a reason to combine work and play, I have decided to document the experience start to finish on video. Tom Berge will be mentoring (he has two of his own RV's under his belt, and has assisted on countless others). I'll be playing the part of the largely ignorant but very enthusiastic RVaitor wannabe. My business partner will shoot, I'll edit and we will deliver the whole thing either online or via DVD. We are talking full broadcast quality HD production here.
So, as we get started, I would appreciate suggestions from experienced or otherwise troubled builders on what bits and pieces you might want to see demonstrated in detail. Obviously we can't put the whole 1,500 hours in there. We will want to focus on the tough and/or critical ares. And since we are starting with the tail, let's focus on that first.
Thanks for your encouragement and insight.
Thanks Doug R. for a great website.
