And just like that she's finished! We are so happy with how this camper has turned out and can't wait to test it out. In this last episode we replace the gas struts in the Alu Cab to help with lifting the extra load on the roof, get running water, functioning solar, make more storage, find out if we are within our weight limit and install the compressor and the last of the recovery points. Jon pulls yet another of his pranks, but this time Jess gets her revenge!
