Build MAR's '76 Forty Refresh

[MAR FJ40]

The material they use on the awning and sidewalls is great. Blocks out a lot of sunlight. There are 3 built in LED strips that run along the awning support rails.

Finished up mounting the fly rod carrier and the two cases. Used the mounts that came with the carrier but added an additional dyi mount in the front for added support. Will put lite stuff up in the cases to keep the weight down. Had to have the roof storage with my 2 boys and I living out of the 40 for a week. I did remove one of the jump seats to free up some interior space. Trip is two weeks away. Getting close!

That propane tank sticks out some based on the pic. Any concerns with it getting hit on the road/ trails?

Can't tell by the last pic, but It sticks out about the same distance as the passenger side mirror. Its something that I'll need to stay aware of but not overly concerned.
