Damn,
That does look good. We just had a week of 30's and 40's and rain and snow. But the sun came out today and we are at 52. Getting on the Harley shortly then going out to see if there is anything left of the garden. Definitely putting some steaks on the grill tonight. Maybe we will get some fall yet this year.. :worship: If you change your mind, my offer stands. I'll help you anytime.

Oh man I'm done for a bit, but the shower is up magnetically. I will beef it up some when the other magnets arrive. Its ok sturdy now but I should be able to pull a left handed chin up come Wednesday.

Tommy, did you get the Dicor self leveling sealer on the Solar Cable cover today? How does is look? Should be good with no leaks now.

Not sure I understand the magnet placement in the lid and the large standoff? Said you had something else coming?

Hello all!
I had to stack those magnets for strength. It seemed they might be too week by themselves but when stacked they got noticeably stronger so rather then spread them out it went that way. Just two points of contact. It really is strong and will not come down unless pulled. It can and will be tweaked some but man its simple and practical. Love it.

Don, this is for you, but anyone else check this out, on a daily bases. Forever. Dig into this site, I believe its critical. Some info will be too deep, let it go and soak up what you can. All the info movies. If you have a scientific mind/interest, In what is coming it will blow your mind! :shock: I will not mention it again unless asked.

Speaking of magnets! :cry:

"Some important Notes:
1) With such a magnetic disaster every 12,000 years, the last one 12,000 years ago, and the magnetic field shifting faster and faster now - how can this be ignored? It's almost TOO obvious what is happening right now."
2) We are all survivors, we have the tools to be prepared, and we have our eyes on the sun every day (seriously, every day).
3) This is the 2nd movie this channel is putting out in August 2019.
The 1st, "Plasma Cosmology", can be found here: https://youtu.be/E4pWZGBpWP0
The 3rd, "Climate Forcing", can be found here: https://youtu.be/rEWoPzaDmOA

The Authers word, not mine. Im done now.

Ok back on track here!

I wired in a new DC three outlet box in the back there. The TV and Dometic cooler will plug in there and maybe a fan if needed.

That winch controller. Left a ton of wire coiled as I will tweak it location some, is it still necessary? I trimmed off 20 pounds or so when I cut the bed down and have not tried to lift it when fully made so I will wait a bit. I really relied on it post surgery on the hand and still probably will need it. Right now its an eye sore.

I will tackle the floor next. I have no idea but I am past the stage of putting ATVS in side and who knows how much longer for the two wheeler so something nice maybe but tough and water resistant. Need ideas plz. :)

And that awefull looking ramp/rear wall too of course. What a differance that would make.
Good Day!

the micro closet. I will install bar tomorrow. The third cabinet door is trimmed up and will be installed tomorrow as well.

Now very soon I will go camping. :D

Im not sure what to do with this coil area, but that rear ramp/back wall has got my attention bigly. This weekend I will put something down. :thinking:

Tommy, Ideas for the flooring. There are waterproof composite laminate planks on the market now in a multitude of woodgrain colors and etc. that are commercial quality. I did not see these a few years back or my choice may have been different. You can see them at Home Depot or Lowes. Probably could do your trailer for a $100 or so.

The planks are essentially tongue and groove and will snap in similar to how you did the ceiling, except you stagger the ends by starting every other plank offset by 6 inches or so.

In any case, they look good and are easy to install and very durable these days. There is no wood in them. They are a composite material. Water will not harm.

Sooo, so close to nearly being done...for today..er..well this week anyway..emm for at least a few weeks...`

Quickly, the las t pic, Major leak but IS fixed now. The drainage path was not adequate and I modified it and it flows fine now. Must camp soon. Solo but better then nolo! 8)

Donnie all is really fine now brother, I still must apply Dicor to exterior solor panel wire inlet but I will do it tomarrow.

Lastly I will install a foldable shelve in front of the new AWESOME window.

Peace all!

Tommy, Looks great! Huge improvements! Was the leak from where the skin overlap is where we caulked last weekend or was the window just not draining? Glad you fixed it. Sorry I ran out of time this weekend. I am rewiring some lights and etc. at my daughter's house next door and then trying to get my CTC ready for Biketoberfest next weekend. Not enough time in the day I tell you.

I leave next Thursday for Daytona and staying three nights. Then the following Thursday I fly out to Chengdu, China for work and then come back Nov. 2. We need to plan the camp trips for November and December... trying to do one a month.

BTW... I looked at my CTC.. I had no skin overlap anywhere I cut in a hole. Just dumb luck I suppose, but live an learn. If I ever cut in another window and there is overlapping skin, need to head it off with dicor tape in the seam before the window goes in.

Tommy B. Howdy;

Agree with McD, Lot of work and work well done. The light from
the window and the wood ceiling really brightened up the interior.

Well Done.

Check!

Thanks all. Really better get a curtain in there like Hank Said!

the LAST must do is figure the shower head attachment and when I figure it out I will post as others may benefit. It must be under the lid, not attached to the lid, and be stable. I think more magnets.

Donnie I will be in touch. Thanx! :beer:

Did the Dicor sealant come in a can so you could pour it on? If so, could you please post the product? Thanks
