Well I finally spar urethaned the interior and got kinda sick in the process. :? I used a el cheapo respirator and if I ever do this again it will have the finish done FIRST!!! :lol:
I've been on a scavenger hunt today trying to get all my electrical stuff together. I'm goin kinda heavy on the wiring and kinda light on the fuses. Being the rookie that I am I'm trying not to burn my camper up. :lol:
I'm gonna try to get as much done as I can this week since I'm on vacation.
More pics will be coming soon. :)

That's why I paid extra and got my plywood with one side finished!! Have you done a electrical drawing yet?

I didn't make a drawing but I pretty well know how I'll do it. I've been on the electrical thread alot and got some ideas. My electrical will be very simple, 2 cabin lights and 12v plug in and 1 galley light and 12v plug in. I'm goin with a simple ac circuit with a in line gfci that will be in the lower galley cabinet with a run leading to the upper galley face frame and a run leading to the cabin. My dc fuse block with ground buss I'll install in the front cabin cabinet. I'm thinking I'll use 4 dc circuits but I could easily just use 3 circuits because of the heavier wiring. :)

Well I managed to get alittle done today. I finally trimmed my aluminum skin. I started out using air shears but I found out the jig saw does a way better job. I also skinned the hatch lid. Tomorrow I'm gonna CPES the edges and the outside of the tear. Hopefully I won't get sick from the smell. :lol: I'll have it outside where I can get plenty of fresh air! :lol:

It's looking really good already! I like the picture where you were able to get in both the head and foot cabinets. Very, very clever. ...Lovely looking interior. :thumbsup: :applause:

PS. If you are using CPES outside, you should probably be okay.

Thanks Sharon
Even though I'll have it outside I'm still gonna use that el cheapo respirator. Maybe I should break down and buy a good one. :lol:
The other day when I used spar urethane, that made me really sick for awhile.

Thanks Cliff,
I was going to use outdoor carpet adhesive along with the trim to hold it but I'm not so sure now. :thinking: I may free float it. I'm just gonna have to do more research on it.

Larry did you "pre-trace" the aluminum or how did you transfer the profile to the aluminum for cutting?

I am planning on floating my aluminum.

The critter is looking good, and you are close now!!!

Thanks Earl,

I pre traced each side before I attached it to the floor. I could've used my pattern but I wanted to trace out the opening for the door and window too.
