the jelly belly build

[del]

The spar varnish dried, and I installed the plug.

The cover was too large so I removed it.

On the inside I need to add a cover over the wires.

Inside the wire someday will be hooked to an RV breaker box.

Wired up the breaker box today. It is simple one breaker, should be enough for two plug ins.


Next hook up the gfi in the galley, and one plug in the cabin.

Hope that wasn't a shocking experience. Happy to see you getting that done. Have you decided on an insulation yet?

:applause: Hope that wasn't a shocking experience.

No, of course I have not pluged it in yet

8) Happy to see you getting that done.

Me too.

Spray on, expanding.

Took my wire coming out of the breaker box and ran it to a GFI unit in the galley.

I then tested it, worked fine.

I had to pull the jelly belly out of its hidey hole, so I snapped a pic with it half way out. Note the stump blocking the gate from opening any further, I have at least an inch of clearance on both sides at worst.

Worked on the galley stove. Here it is in the travel position (not tied down yet).

Here it is moved out as to cook.

I still have tank pressure in the lines, with regulators on the individual appliances. The guy at the propane place said I need to run a regulator on the tank and a small RV furnace (expensive and 10 times the BTUs I need) with a low pressure cook stove (they had nifty cast iron ones there that could have doubled as boat anchors). The thread that this was discussed before http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?t=24193. Nobody I have talked to locally will sell a 10# regulator, most have never heard of one, suggestions?

Getting ready to go to Carnation next week. To do list secure counters, check; secure stove, working on it; check for gas leaks, tomorrow.



Tried to hold down stove with bungee cord, key word tried, I did cover the 110 inlet on the tail of counter.

Who hu no leaks in my propane system (yes I checked with soap, no flame). The stove works too.

And I figured out how to tie it down for transit.

I started on my wheel covers. I used much of Andrews measurements, but went with my own design. I want them to look like doors for the landing gear on an airplane. So far I have cut out the basic shape of the spars.

Clamped the spars together.

And made them similar to each other with the grinder.

I am planning on a piano hinge at the top,and drilling lightning holes in the spars.

I finished the spars I was building.

With the holes drilled I should be able to escape earths gravity (sorry with a trailer built using plans called the Roswell I had to).
Put the basic frame work together for one side.


May move it up or down, what do you think?

Hi all still working on my wheel covers. I skinned one of them.



I clamped it for the night, yes it is glued and stapled together.


What do people think about adding lights in behind the covers?

I don't know, Just might look a bit too much like the 47 roswell if you do that.
Seriously though unless your changed your mind on jelly belly vs Roswell I think that I would avoid decorative lighting on this one.

It is th jelly belly, but I have to remember its roots. Besides that lighted jelly beans are the rage now, all the kids are eating them.

Sounds like an episode of 'Pimp My Spats' - though I think that has to be 'Pimp My Pants' in US English.
