Neat stuff kitty. Thanks for sharing as I hadn't gotten a chance to get a close up look this weekend. Is an 06 T-2499 custom next in the making?

Take care,
Jason

Isn't that the coolest little thing you've ever seen!!! I believe Jon liked it so much that he has created the paperwork to go with it.

Thank you Kitty for posting those pictures. I have been so busy with work that I've just been accumulating stuff to do, taking pictures included. I'll post them when I get some taken. In the mean time, here's the paperwork:

Oh, almost forgot...has anyone noticed my sig? I better not buy any more because I'm out of room unless I delete the picture.

Jon,
Your correct about your signature.

Thanks to Quetse you didn't end up with a model of a T-270SR, as I told her about the model in the very early stages and she let me know about your T-286SR, but I WAS sworn to secrecy

I know I gave you the photo album telling the story of how your model T-286SR came to be, but I thought others might like to see the pics. Who knows, maybe someone else will make their own model. And "NO" I can't tell you or anyone else how MANY hours it took to build because I worked on it for weeks and loved every minute of it.

The best thing about the trailer is who is belongs to

Kitty

Here's some pics of my recent trip. I decided to take the '08 out to Yosemite for a trial run. It was a long trip, and everything went well, but the '96 Explorer did have a hard time in the mountains. It was a difficult trip by having to have an escort for a wide load due to the awning in a stationary position !

So, yes, the picture in the background is from a National Park book and that is from Yosemite.

The LP DC (Low Performance Dual Cam) still needs some work, like some longer toothpicks, but for right now, here it is:

Jon,

Glad to see you traveling so soon in your "08 I see your fine tuning your hitch setup. If I figure out a way to make a retracting awning, I'll send you a "recall" notice

The one picture (the front end shot) absolutely looks real, and the others at a quick glance pass for real also.

When I was building it, I never thought about it being the only "08 Sunline in existence.

Now, "IF" I ever get the ambition to build a 2499, it WILL have to have a "lift". Maybe a project for next winter ?

It would have to be built blind from scratch, as I have no plans/directions, just the photos I took while making yours.

I'm glad your enjoying it,

Kitty

Let me know if you do make any more and I'll assign them a VIN and issue a COO.

Jon,
You might have a problem fill the propane tanks, they don't look like they have a OPD valve!!! Great job Kitty!!!

Kitty,

That is the most amazing gift I have ever seen.....fantastic. I am in awe.

Jon, sorry we couldn't be there for your party, but, as I see you good folks have already remade plans for next year, I have asked Kelly to find out what's up with her vacation for next year. I have seniority enough to get pretty much any June week, but her job's a bit more finicky.

What was your fuel mileage like for your Yosemite trip? Did the awning deflappers hold up well during crosswinds?

Glad there weren't any toll booths on your chosen route :P !

Still in awe,

Greg

Gas mileage wasn't too bad. Those beans went a long way ! I was able to make it all the way to the basement to get the book and Explorer off the shelf and make it back without needing to re-fuel!

Jon

P.S. I know you worded it that way on purpose, I just couldn't help myself .

In the same spirit...

Crosswinds are a killer!
