The holidays have passed and it's time to get back on the teardrop. We picked up our fenders and interior trim rings for the doors from the powder coater this week. The doors are the manufactured style and we didn't like that the interior trim rings were raw aluminum color and the doors are black. We like having the black against the wood. The fenders are also black.
Yesterday we installed the curb side wall. All the cabinets are screwed into the wall and the temporary supports are removed. It's really looking like a teardrop. We installed the cross members tying the walls together and the cabin feels really tight. The wiring for the 120v, 12v and solar panel runs through the roof to the front and will end up in the tongue box where the electrical system will be. The solar cables end up running under the trailer in pipes as the controller and battery are under the galley counter.
Here's the galley so far.
Here's one with the street side now installed.
We started drilling the wood trim for screws and will be working on it through the weekend. The pieces will be glued and screwed and then the screw holes will be plugged with pine plugs before we varnish the sides. Need to do a little more shopping as we are low on varnish and need to start thinking about the aluminum for the top and the trim pieces.
