I put the cushions back in place to make sure they all fit and that the table still fit with new bed area
then I made the door to cover the new bed opening, also covered it with plastic to protect outside when it gets wet.. still lots more to do

^ Is that a dig or what? 
Ken, it is really starting to take shape. Any plans on what you are going to do on the sides of the camper or are you leaving it as is? You should post a pic or two with the heep on the back....

well the plans in my head were to build storage boxes for parts, generator, welder, etc.. but that will not be done before this weekend.. so in due time..
as for Heep, I am trying. I need to get pop up door finished tonight and slide out velcro, attachment points and support bars finished, then I need to build drive over fenders for Jeep to sit on.
if all that gets done I need to rip out rear axle on Jeep and fix that, then change tires to new trail tires, install new battery and load it up..
will this all get done before friday at 1pm WE WILL SEE

well I got the prop bar installed that will hold the pop up door up when camping.. I used the other pop up extension bar that goes inside the canvas usually(hey it was free since I had it)
then we got slide out finished and secured, attched outside edge of canvas to slide and made the support bars for slide out..
put the futon mattress in and needed to test it to make sure it could handle the weight of my 2 year old so My 70 year old dad hoped in(and almost fell asleep)
yup it works
tomorrow night I will be working on getting velcro finished for sides of canvas
and water sealing the big door
here is my dad
and showing it from the outside

If that's a dig then he's never met a farmer lmao. No idea if you're a farmer or not but I have the utmost respect for their work ethic, ability to figure things out for themselves, repair almost anything with little to nothing etc.
Lol that kid should be envious, it's not everyone who can do things for and by themselves such as this.
Great work so far Bruiser, i've been following your build/rehab and hope you keep us updated. I only wish I had the space, tools and most importantly of all your skills. Congrats!

The slide looks like it is going to work well. I do hope you will be able to get everything done for your last trip WITH the heep in tow.
We just had our last wheeling trip this past weekend way up North. It was a little chilly but nice to get out one last time. Good luck and try and find some time to update with a pic of the whole thing loaded up and ready for the voyage.
