Walls leaning??

Postby Silvrzuki77 » Mon Mar 11, 2013 7:04 pm

I got my walls up and just the basic top of my galley done. The top of the walls are leaning 1/4 to the driver side. How do i go about fixing this??? Frustrated!!!
Thanks

Chris,
I would use use a square and a level to see if the walls are right. When using the level, make sure the trailer is level first before checking the plumb on the wall. Looking at you built pic's, I don't see a bulk head between your galley and sleeping area. If the piece of plywood is cut square, that should true up your walls.

Thanks wolf, i added a 90 at the front which squared it to 90. Your right though i didnt think about the bulkhead. I think a beer to many may have frustrated me a little too soon. Thanks again!

If you square up the counter you have in the back it should square up the walls.

If you cut your sides out of plywood, use the right-angle offcuts as braces.
