Awesome build. I'm jealous of your frame; it couldn't be more perfect. The sides look great too. :)

Shown below is a photo of the right side wall of the trailer, which has been installed.
Again, the front & back walls are not installed.
They are only used for temporary support of the side walls.

Image

Next is installation of front & back walls.
Also, I no longer need to use hoists or pulleys.
They have been taken down.

Shown below is a photo of the inside of rear wall.
It has been installed.
I have no room to do a photo of the outside of the rear wall.
The large hole is for the air conditioneer.
The small box to the right of the large hole, is for installation of a duplex recepticle for air conditioneer power.


Image

Tomorrow, I install the front wall.

Shown below is a photo of the trailer with the center roof installed.
The front and back curved portion of the roof still needs to be installed.
Also, the outer plywood roof skin needs to be installed.

Image

Shown below is a detail of how the roof is resting on the wall shelf.
There are thirteen 1" V x 3/4" H spars on the roof.
2-1/2" # 8 flathead Screws and epoxy were used to attach spars to the shelf on the walls.
The spars had previously been epoxyed to the 1/4" interior skin.
There is about 5'-11" of clearance, roof to floor, at the drop floor.

Shown below is a photo of the inside of the rear roof curve.

Image

Shown below is a photo of the inside of the front roof curve.

Image

Shown below is a photo of the outside of the front roof curve.
The wires shown, at the curve, are for overhead lights.
The radius of the bend is 14".
The plywood used in the front and back bends is 3/16" "Bendy" plywood.
I had to match that up with the 1/4" plywood that I used for the middle roof and the front & back walls.
The spars used at the front and back bend area are 3/4" W x 1-1/8" H.

Image

Shown below is a photo of roof mounting detail.
The spars are screwed & epoxyed to the side wall shelf.
The front and back edges of the curved panels are attached to the middle roof and the front and back walls with epoxy and screws every 6".

Terry,

You almost have her all buttoned up. The curves turned out great! Soon, you can focus on the interior.

Take care,
Tom

Terry,

Its always a big deal for me to get the roof on, I feel like it's finally a trailer. Your trailer is looking great!

As I am sure that you noticed, I used about the same technique as you did to attach the roof to the walls. The center roof was easy. The front and back curves were more difficult.
