I viewed this using google and with the google translater it was readable.
Some of the
words were not translated correctly,but they arn't as strict with curse
words as we
are. They drop the F bomb quite a bit.Plus you can read how he had issues
like orange peal ect...As much as I love the duel sliders I just can't bring
myself to
like the interior he used. I am of the less is more school of thought. I
would have
just used a full width rear bed ,a jumpseat, and a reefer behind the pass
seat.
Think of the circulation you could get at night with screens in each slider.
I wonder
why he didn't use the fiamma drip rail brackets for the awnings? The added
height
when the poptop is up is nice though so he may be on to something.
