Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

First off, ya got to have these to get anything done lately


Except for the doors all the trim is on, plugged and filler added. I am waiting to get the doors on before I start all the sanding to the trim.



It looks rough with the filler everywhere and plugs poking up.


MadJack,
What do I do with the overhanging hatch Hinge & trim. Do I trim it back even with the side trim & diverter. Or should i leave it hanging over like it is and finish it (sand, stain & poly).



Thanks,

Mk

Beautiful work there Mary.

Looks great Mary! Look forward to seeing it at the LCG!

(oh, and meeting you too!)

WOW!! Mary
If I could do half of what you have done with you TD I would be Proud.

Mandy

MK, that is looking great...as to the divertor, I would trim it close(a coping saw, maybe?) and keep in mind that you may need to stick a piece of flat weatherstripping somewhere in the gap between the hinge and body to get a completely watertite seal...

Thanks Mandy, if I can do it, anyone can. Ya just have to figure out how and just doit!!! BTW, I am proud. I really can not believe how well it has gone together. (Not including the interior trim)

Madjack you ROCK!! I was hoping I could trim it back. (See Mandy, I have to figure out what a coping saw is now) Weather stripping? I need weather stripping?? Ha just kidding!!

Ya, well thanks Heikke with an eikke!!

With TD buddies like you keeping me going, and bringing out the best in me, I just can not help it.

BTW, I have installed 280 plugs so far...not counting the door trim..

Mk

I'd cut the hinge and it's supports to match the side trim piece. It's lookin awsome Mk.

Just proof that anybody can build one of these things!



Looks great MK! Do want to come and help me with my next one? It is a lot cooler up here.

I wanna go to the LCGII!

I certainly have to agree with Steve. AWESOME! Simply AWESOME!

Maybe I will comission you to build my next one!!!

Great job Mary K. Ed & Ruby

Looking good. Keep plugging away.

Sorry.

It looks lovely MK.

I do have a question though - how do you keep the water from pooling on top with the trim creating a box up there?
