I like the profile of your trailer Nick!

When you post a pic on here, make sure that when you hit the "IMG" button the second time to close the code, that it puts it right after the pic and not at the end of your post. Keep up the good work!

Many people "float" the skin and only contain it on the outer edges with the trim cap, roof vent etc....I used some carpet cement to tack mine down, mostly because it seemed easier to do for me as I work by myself. either way will work fine. Same thing on the sides, the trim for the door, hatch and roof line trim will hold it all. Doug

I "floated" my aluminum roof. I laid it on the roof and tacked it down on the edges with some staples. The trim went over the staples. Worked for me. Here in Texas it can get pretty hot in the summer. The aluminum can expand a little without being glued down.
