Go Power doesn't make an inverter/charger. They even list Magnum when they need all in one. We have a ton of Magnums functioning in some rough environments, with everybody and their dog using (and abusing) them, and have no issues. I prefer everything built into one unit, takes less space, less connections, less maintenance, and you will have a hard time finding a 5 stage charger that cranks out the amperage like the Magnum or the Samlex Evo.

I think I just doubled the weight of the camper!
Good to know, thanks!
We've used the 5200 quite a bit as well in the fast cure variety. It is insanely strong, primarily designed to be an above or below the water line adhesive/sealant for the thru the hull fixtures. It's not really considered to be a structural adhesive per se though. For that, we've been using the pro-set 176/276 primarily. Its a toughened epoxy structural adhesive where it really matters, or a west 610 where its not quite so critical, I also use the west more on wood attachments. I'd love to find something that tough thats a little quicker curing though.
The proset is also crazy expensive, $76 for a little more than a caulking tubes worth, and it requires a special gun. But the bond is basically a weld.

The Quick Set version of 3M - 5200 has been my GoTo sealant / adhesive for years. I've never had a failure with properly prepared surfaces. Bonds anything from fiberglass, to rubber, to steel, to aluminum.
The warm stuff
The wood work starts, decided on knotty lodgepole pine, great features, stains really nicely, 1/18th of the cost of the batch of rosewood that I went to the till with first! Cabinet doors and drawer faces are getting cnc router cut so I can get the Southco latch profile cut in properly, all the interior perimeter trim was cut and routered manually. There is quite a bit of wood going in along with my infamous Tommy Bahama canvas fabric, so the interior is going to take a change for the comfortable, yet easy to clean. Just a couple shots of the trim pre stain.
I love natural features and defects in wood, some stain, polyurethane top coat and they stand out so nicely.
Backside milled to clear and cover extrusions.

Oh so true!
We readily & eagerly accept flaws in/from nature, but demand utter perfection from humans.
I'm looking forward to seeing the perfectly imperfect wood against the [observably] near-perfect shell. It's shaping up to be a spectacular camper!

WELL SAID, ain't that the truth!!!
Nature's imperfections are beautiful, but human's imperfections aren't? Gotta let that one sink in deeper as I'm guilty of it too!...........
All in all, the wood + cabin are going to make for one super rad and gorgeous setup!
Walnut in a can
Started the messy staining process, went with a dark walnut cuz I like it, thinking about a matt clear though rather than a gloss, I like matt finishes. All the doors are done today so the weekend will be spent watching paint dry.
