Terry's TTT Garageable Standy Build modifications

[terryjones1]

Shown below is a photo of the inside of the back wall. The bottom is on the left. The wall has been epoxyed on the outside & painted on the inside. The unpainted area, at the left, is where bed will be. The hole is for the Air Conditioneer.



Shown below is a photo of the inside of the front wall. The bottom is on the right. The wall has been epoxyed on the outside & painted on the inside. The unpainted area, at the right, is where dinette benches will be. Again, the hole is for the Fantastic Vent.



Next is the roof.

It looks like you are making serious progress now!

[terryjones1]

Shown below is a photo of the roof before epoxying the spars. The spars are 1" x 1" at seams & 3/4" x 1" for others. The front and rear curve will be done later.



I need to drill some holes for three overhead lights. Then, I will epoxy the spars.

[terryjones1]

Shown below is roof with spars epoxyed to plywood interior roof. Notice the short 7" 1"x3/4", which will be used for mounting the overhead lights.



Next, I will turn over roof, and epoxy & fiberglass tape the interior roof plywood seams. Then, I will prime & paint the interior roof. Installation will come later.

Man, your fit and finish is amazing on what you've done so far. More forethought and patience than I have. BTW, I love that radius rig you have on the router....nice.

[terryjones1]

Shown below is a photo of the inside of roof. I have epoxyed fiberglass tape at the seams. Tomorrow I sand & prime the inside of roof.

Shown below is a photo of the ceiling. It has been painted (needs some touchup).



I have now completed the left and right side, the front and back, the roof, and the fender wells.
Now, I have to install every thing.
First, I will install the fender wells.
Then, I will install the left and right walls.
Then, the front and back.
Then, of course, the roof.

Terry,

The moment we've all been waiting for seems to be just around the corner - assembly.

Thank you for the updates.

Take care,
Tom

Today, I took the trailer to the California DMV to get a license for the trailer. Shown below is photo of the trailer with the fenders permanetly installed. In the dropped floor is the tempory trailer lights that fell off returning from the DMV. In the garage, is the left & right walls, the front & rear walls, & the roof'



Shown below is photo of California license plate. It only cost $38.



Now I am on to installig stuff.

[terryjones1]

I have installed the wall cleats on the trailer floor. They are made from 1-1/2 " x 1-1/2" wood bolted 1" away from the edge of the floor. The walls will be bolted to these cleats. No pictures of cleats yet!

I am going on a week and a half vacation to Beaverton, Oregon to visit one of our daughters & our grandson.

I will continue with wall installation when I return.

Looking real good. Your next steps will be the fun ones.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Shown below is a photo of a trial fitting of the trailer left side wall. It will require a little trimming.



Shown below is a photo of the left side wheelwell. It looks OK to me.

Terry,

Just getting a look at the pieces and parts I can tell this thing will be spectacular. You are a craftsman.

[terryjones1]

I measured the hieght from ground to high point on side wall.
It is 83-1/2".
I still have 1/4" outside roof skin to add to roof when roof is installed.


My garage door opening is 84".
My calculations are working out OK.
When everything is installed, I will have even more clearance.

[terryjones1]

Shown below is a photo of the left side wall.
It has been installed on the floor.
The front and back walls are not yet installed.
I have just used them to provide support for left side wall.



Shown below is a photo of the front most hoist/pulley that I use for lifting the heavy walls.
I have moved it over 24" so that I can easily install the right side wall.



Shown below is a photo of the rear most hoist/pulley that I use for lifting the walls.
I have also moved it over 24" so that I can easily install the right side wall.
Using the hoist/pulley allows me to move the walls easily.



Tomorrow I will move the trailer over 24" so that I can easily have room to work on right side wall instalation.
