From humble beginnings and our first sweltering

...and his team of surgeons. Note new solar panels!

To the start of renovation, which took 8 months while I lived upstairs in the truck shop. Here's Orville's facelift...

...and then somehow to new southern pecan wood floors, a new Norcold fridge, Soft Candlelight paint throughout, and custom seat in progress! Oh yeah, and the faux alligator, marine-grade vinyl dash. Just sayin'.

Plus some nifty steel kickplates as a nod to Brave's big ol' Dodge truck chassis.

The Brave is pretty dainty, at only 20 feet long, 9 feet tall, and 8 feet wide. He fits in a regular parking space!
