6x12 RC Workshop/Cargo Trailer Build

This is about as close as I could find, but it gives you the idea. I would be using etrack and the anchors so that it will be removable, but the principle is the same.



I did get a little done this weekend. I picked up and installed the soft touch close pieces for the cabinets (totally unnecessary, but fun), and then worked on the DC wiring. I finished the wiring for the outside lights and the inside LED's and wired in the switch panel. Got to actually use the converter part of the WFCO for the first time, and happly it and my wiring and lighting works. I also mounted the WFCO in.

I have a little more DC wiring to do, and then can get ready to close up the front. It will be usable at that point with fold up tables. Next is finishing the ceiling, finalizing what I want to with the counters, and building in the AC unit.

So updates have been few, but finally got some work done over the last couple weeks as the weather has warmed a little and we are getting closer to outdoor offroad racing season. I decided to carpet the walls, as i like the look, and whatever little amount it adds to temperature and sound insulation. I was planning on buying some indoor/outdoor carpet in the rolls, but when I got to Lowe's, they had some 6x8 carpet/rugs on sale for $17ea. I needed 3 to do both walls and the extra trim, so it was the most cost effective, and it is very light.

I am pleased with how it is looking so far. Attached to the walls with carpet tape and staples.

I also added in a pair of DC outlets, and ran another switched circuit for lighting under the upper cabinets. Once I find those lights and get them installed, the wiring should be complete. Need to do a few more carpet trim pieces and then get the trimwork up around it. After that, will be ready to put up the e-track and the workbenches.

I finally got some time over the weekend to rough in the counters. Trying to get it ready enough for a race this weekend (weather permitting). Once laid out, I think I know how to attach everything to make iot removable without too much difficulty.

Still need to get the last 2 pieces of plywood cut and carpet on them for the trim on both sides of the cabinets, then the baseboard trim, but not sure what I will get done during the week.

Sorry for the cellphone picture, it was getting late and I wanted to watch the Olympic closing ceremonies.

Cool..... I REALLY like that wall carpet. Similarly, I'm starting a trailer for R/C airplanes and that carpet would work great in the back for the planes and sleeping area.

Not much progress as of late due to using the trailer more as outdoor offroad season has started.

Finding all of the small things I need, but currently it is meeting all expectations. I have the PVC cutain panels coming for the rear (so the back ramp door can be open without bugs coming in and to lessen any cooling/heat going out. Still working out the ideas for the AC with nothing really decided, though it has not been needed yet. This coming weekend looking at high 80's and I might regret it more then. We have pit space for up to 3, but it is very comfortable with 2 and that is how we work it regularly. The built in wiring and outlets has been great, the insulation has made a drastic difference with noise, and overall very pleased with how it has all worked. Will try and get some pictures of it in use this weekend.
