Also, did you talk about what the exterior skin is going to be?
thanks! we've probably got a year, maybe 2 until he's too tall to fit up there...at which point it'll become a luggage shelf / dog bed and he'll sleep on the main bed. i'll probably get kicked out to a tent next to the trailer

exterior skin will be .040 aluminum sheet over top of a baltic birch "outer layer." i considered just having the birch be the main skin but it will require constant upkeep to maintain the deterioration from UV exposure, and much less sturdy both to shrug off rock chips or if a branch falls on it. the aluminum also comes in colors which could be fun.
