    Great job on your Rouser, a 2 yr update on your camper build would be great! I plan to do a similar build except L-shaped fixed beds (no set up) for two adults that is also a couch with a swivel table where the two beds meet and small kitchen in the front like yours. Thanks for sharing.

    You could likely run the 5000BTU A/C with a decent portable generator. My son and I played scenario paintball for years, travelled all over the SouthEast and lived out of a 18' utility trailer (on the weekends) that I setup much like your outfit. A generator makes a welcome addition to a setup like that.

Any new insights now that you had the chance to test it out on the road as well as camping? Anything that you would have done different? Anything that you really enjoy about this camper? We really liked your build and are curious how it has worked out for you and your family.

    Fantastic and impressive build out. Being 6' tall do you have room to sleep side to side? Also, did that door/screen door combo come with the trailer? Or did you add the screen door after the initial purchase of the trailer? If so where did you get the add on/aftermarket screen door? Safe and happy travels to you and your family. Thanks for sharing.

Must be light so a small SUV can tow with little decrease in MPGs. I do like some of your additions but they wont work on the lower ceiling campers.
