Thanks.  I went back and forth on several different options for the inside.  I wanted to do cedar but that was to expensive and the reviews online for what I was going to buy said most of the planks were warped and couldn't be used.  I looked at paneling and didn't find anything I liked.  I decided to go with birch plywood until I went to a different lumber store.  I found 1/4" underlayment that looked very similar to the birch plywood but was less than half the cost.  I'm going to stain it after I get it all installed.  I think the wood grain will show more with the stain and sealer on it. 

Pappy, you are right.  I doubt this will ever be 100% finished.

I remember the 1st time I did some remolding in my house (its an old farm house) one off my neighbors asked me when I'd be done working on my house. I said when I dig a hole and bury it.

Some young people just don't understand this. The work is never done, there is always something. A good reason to learn to do stuff on your own.

I finished the ceiling and most of one wall today.  Working around all the curves, outlets, door, bed platform, and windows makes it take forever.  I bet I took over 20 measurements on the last piece of siding I put up today  :P

Thanks.  It's been a lot of fun seeing how much people like it.  Just stopping for gas turns into an adventure sometimes. 

I'm working on the second wall now.  The heat is slowing me down.

Probably a little of both Bubby  ;D

I have all the walls and ceiling done.  All I have left to do is the front of the bed platform and the ledge at the back end of it.  That should be pretty easy to do since its all flat and straight lines.  I will have a lot of trim work to do on it.  I'm thinking about gluing a natural fiber rope in the corner between the ceiling and walls as corner trim.

I finished the last few pieces on the bed platform.  It's all done and ready for stain.  I'm doing that tomorrow morning.  I had an idea on what to do on the blank wall on the outside of the camper.  I want to make a slightly oversized osage bow that looks like its at full draw towards the sky with an arrow nocked.

I started to stain it this morning.  I got 2 panels in before I decided it was to dark.  I spent all morning replacing them.  I've worked for 4 hours and I'm finally at the point where I stopped at last night  :P
