Question for you fine folks ....

Now I need to set up for building the Light Boards for the back lighting..
Can anyone tell us how to go about doing this... Or should I just double up the ply where we,ll have the lights? There isnt much flat surface there.. the lights are 94mm in diameter.

Heikki,

Assuming that these have to be on the back of the trailer. I think you could build a bumper for the trailer to attach the lights to that would fit below your hatch and attach to your trailer frame. The thickness of the bumper would be thick enough to recess the lights so nobody would bump into themwhile using the galley.

Does this make sense????

Yup it sure does make sense however then they would be too low... Here they have to be at the back radius level or almost at that height..This is what I mean...


Lets see where that Law is again... But seriously there is on the light positioning as well as to the height. So they will have to be mounted on the hatch. Ohh I have a nice bumper hidden already just waiting to be mounted... Along with other nice decor...but the frosting on the cake comes later..

Ohh Notice the required rear Fog Light...

Heikki...sorry guy, but I can't help but think that those sort of restrictions on lighting, axles etc...must inhibit a lot of creativity over there...so is the fog light for those to see what there are about to hit? unfortunatley...I'll bet we see more of that sort of compiliance here in the states in the future as we become more "Internationalized" ... doug

If I had a "Most Enthusiastic TD Builder Award", it would be yours! You've proved that you don't need a 72 degree shop to get the job done. Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You Ron.... We are Rookies, at this all... 1 tear and 2 galley hatch.. We do like the countertop a lot... and its only waxed not varnished... we,ll apply 1 more coat over it ... as well as the rest of the counter pieces.... when it warms up....

Weve got some other nice features and decor set aside in the house yet to add.. Were so close but yet so far...

But we are moving on Teardrop Time... a lil faster now...even though plenty of mistakes have been made along the way.. that had to be redone...
