You are making great progress.

One observation about your door window. My slider opens from the bottom up, and when sleeping with the vent pulling the air from the outside, the breeze coming in the window and across the body is very pleasant. With your vent slider at the top, unless that big pane opens at the bottom, I think your trailer might tend to get stuffy. Even with the vent fan (I'm assuming it blows in or out) blowing in, the air flow will be at the top of the cabin.

I could be all wrong, but it is something to consider.
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

Thanks for the tip, I can change that and may do that after we take it out a few times. My thought was higher up better catch of the cross vent. But you bring up a great point. Appriciate the tip.

Looks great, I see how your door handle fits now. It came out nice. What kind of seal did you use, or plan on using?

:applause: :thumbsup: :applause: Looking good there. I do wonder about the vent and windows too. I put my vent on top of the roof so I am wondering how you will get that to work out....

Very nice galley too :thumbsup:
