Key Project Highlight — Custom Motorhomes

I designed and built several custom motorhomes from scratch, applying a wide range of practical skills across carpentry, electrical, plumbing, insulation, layout planning, and interior finishing. These projects show my ability to take on complex builds, solve problems on the go, and work through every stage from bare shell to final setup. Each one is different, and each one pushed me to adapt, learn, and deliver reliable, functional results.
