The boards between the skin and the wall wood, I cut out with a jigsaw, bandsaw, holesaw, whatever works. The wall wood is routered using the center wood as a guide and the aluminum is rotoziped. The water inlet is the only hole so far that I have rotoziped that had wood in the center rather than metal. I was real worried it would zip through the wood and mess up the skin. So I was careful not to put too much pressure against the side. It seemed to work ok. luckily I had a hole saw the right size for the power inlet. I still have the windows to do and one side has a maple board. I am kinda nervous about them. I'm thinking I might be able to leave the cutter out of the chuck enough that the smooth shank will drag on the wood instead of the flutes. Check that tomorrow.

Super Nice job on ac, I would have thought the door would hit top of the ac as it comes down in an arch. One would also think this design is tricky to seal out water intrusion.
Great work

To be honest I'm not sure if my brakes are self adjusting or not. As for the ramp hole clearing the ac, that was the first thought I had as well. Turns out the ark on a 6'+ radius in 10 inches is very minimal, About .7 of an inch. I gave it 2". I guess time will tell on how it does with the water. I still have to install the rubber seals and caulk the ramp hole. We did have a big rain storm and I was expecting a flood inside, especially since I can't get the trailer level because of the steep driveway I am parked on. But even without caulking and seals the water that got in was minimal.
