I think that I would weld a bar across the ac opening and weld the center bar to it instead of the wood pieces. If at any time anyone steps on the area of that cut off rib, it will break loose and go through the outer skin.

First off, let me say; Nice job on the conversion!
I've been lurking here for awhile. I'm close to purchasing my own trailer to convert and have a couple of questions about your side door.
1. Did you order the trailer with the window in the side door, or did you put that in yourself?
2. I notice the side door has both a bar latch and an RV style latch, did you order the trailer with both style latches, or did you add the RV style latch?
I've seen a lot of trailers local that have the bar latch, and I'm wondering if I want to go through the trouble of installing an RV style latch.
Thanks!

True that.

Thanks... I put the window in myself. I got it off E-bay very cheap. I also put the RV latch on. I keep the bar with a lock on it when I am inside so I cannot be latched in, but it still works. I could take it off... but there would be mounting holes, so I didn't. You really need a door latch to be able to shut and latch the door from the inside... else it does not matter.
Good luck with your build! I enjoyed the conversion.

Can you describe how the new gas cap and hoses work? I'm not following your description very well. I'd like to add more fuel capacity and like your modification of a regular tank
Thanks.
