    This could be the only back porch attatched to a peterbilt known to man.

    Thank u Fredo. Ive been copying quite a bit.

    Lots of back porches out there cant believe nobody ever attatched one to a Peterbilt.

    Do an image search for unique RVs or Housetrucks

    Not something that would resemble the sticks and staples the industry produces.

    Hand crafted.

    Im opening my 3rd box of 1000 rivits and thank God it will be the last.

    What is the absolute most R factor u could pack into a 1 in wall. Im going to start with sound deadning and the ceramic paint. If this would be adiquate? i could completly eliminate the nessessity for a wood frame structure on the exterior walls. Cost time and weight would all benefit.

    I could easily test the design ill be prob sleepin on the floor for the first few trips.
