Now that I am lisenced I can take this thing anywhere.

I have advantages over most other trailers because my back will open. I have not as yet fully attached the inside walls and can remove them and finish wiring and paint them before I reinsert them.

I did look at boat Paint but When I went looking at boat paint for the most pat it seemed that paint was in the next county North or south. I desided on House paint or car Paint.

The outside walls will be Dark blue as you can see in the above photo (thiankyou Cliff) I have a light blue Platform underneath. I plan to paint yellow or Gold lines ontop of the Dark or Matalic (dark) ribbin Blue sides or have decales made. There is a place in Morro Bay that can do that.

The doors will be redesigned into Dutch Doors.

I may put in a Vent like Phil and NingNing have in theirs.

Galley will be round (flat in the back) so it will come forward when it is turned around. It will have a pole in the center and shelf suports on the sides, and Center.

The Rear Doors will open van style with fold down shelves for stove and Sink.... I just got a new Coleman hotwater unit like Dean has.

I also now have a outside shower/changingroom/outhouse Tent.

I plan to get or make some sort of Enclosure for the back and awnings for the sides.

The Floor will be sealed then will insert a hard foam bed and I will reinstall the inside skin. attach the electrical covers and install the speakers and side lights.

then I will install a rear wall inside. I am unsure if it will open to the Galley or not.

The Roof is still open to paint or Canvas or Marine vinyl.

Hey Ron D,

That's looking good. House paint would work, but look into Floor and Porch paint...

Looks like you've been camping too! Have fun. And remember to take lots of pictures...

getting ready to prim the outside walls, inside floor is sealed, some wireing still happening, doors still a problem.

I have a cover now for it and a bed to sleep on. I have slowed down some letting my cash catch up. :cry: :cry: but first we have to paint the house. $>

House painting got put off until January. :thumbsup:

sealed the top and filled in all small holes with wood puddy.

I got some primer and will paint all the out side but the side and back doors then paint sides royal blue and top white. Then as I can afford it I think I will cover the roof with Mrine Vinyl.

Door are still be plan sub doors ar on it now. so I can sleep in it.

Got Full size syraphome mattress from a local oppolstry supply place.

I think the trailer will still make it into the garage so when I paint it stuff wont sick to it blowing by.

I am using a oil base paint witch will take several days to dry.
:oops: I keep forgetten to buy fenders for the trailer. got to start writing this stuff down.

I am working on a slide show of my build plan to put it on a DVD.

House painted and I have Led rear lights submergable too.

the house is a good accent for the trailer they mach well.

I have rear lights and clearence lights working as well

Photo's to fallow.

Next project are upper brake lights and blinkers and I want to add a pull bar to the truck the bumper one is not a sturdy and then I can start camping or driving it to show other teardropers and get appinions on what I can do and where to find it. There are more teardrop and TTT's in the area then I ever knew including one in Los Osos who happens to go to my church we never met untill Mantana de Oro event. :oops: God works in misterious ways.
