Dave: How did you know I was going to mount a tongue box on the front? Terry and I went to Cabelas Wednesday evening after work and picked up a plastic Dee Zee triangle box to put up front for $99 on sale. I plan to paint it silver before I install it.
Larry: Yes, that is regular 1/2" U channel on the sides the hatch will rest on. I got it from Lowes. The trim I have running along the top of the sides and roof, I got from Vintek back east. Go to Ebay and search for "teardrop trailer". It is the kind that leaves the screws visible. He also has it with the plastic screw cover as well. Be sure to buy a couple hundred SS screws he sells. They are a great deal.
Sharon: I was hoping to have it done by the end of June, but I have been working a lot of overtime lately. Terry and I went camping last week end in our 5X8 cargo trailer to a place called Stampede Dam, (I'm sure Dave knows where I am talking about) 40 miles from Reno. We had a good time. I can't wait to take the "Silver Nugget".
We had visitors... There were four young deer that came right up to our camp site. They were just about tame. That was cool.
Lil: I just ran the edges of the back of the face frame through my router table and cut the center pieces and that left a lip to lay the 1/4" plywood in and it is recessed for a nice look. I plan to do the cabinet doors that way too. You can see a picture of that below.
I need to get back at it so I can make an update today or tomorrow. Thanks you guys and gals... Take care !!!
