I was thinking he has everything but the kitchen sink loaded, but I was wrong you even have that loaded, enjoy your trip.

Today we put in the Etrack for the back support for the couch.

It works like it's supposed to work.. but I got a couple cheap enhancements in mind.
Have more to do when I go back for a few odds and ends on this etrack business.

We're home from a great fun trip and now I got some new projects and some refinements to make.
I want a flood light that swivels from the inside.. ala cop car. chuckles

Posted this in another thread :

Hrm except for the converter box, paint and the Etrack stuff, most of my conversion came straight out of the garage.
Stuff I already had.. spare lumber in most cases.
I did have to buy insulation and ceiling paneling.
I figure I spent about $800 after the Trailer purchase.
I'm still less than $3000.

I ended up using white cyprus 2x4s on my Etrack bed.
Because I built mine in sections... I have another idea too.
I'm going to put 4 lumber holders inside the middle section with 2x3s and plywood screwed to the bottom. should make a nice thin storage area under the bed when the middle section (the lid )is lifted. I plan to use that area to store a few clothes, a combination rifle/shotgun in 22/20g and some ammo.

I'll let ya'll know how this works out when the lumber holders come in.

Updated the album with some pictures I've not uploaded yet.

I spent the morning rolling and brushing on Henry 1-Gallon 287 White Roof Coating.
And plan to do a second coat this afternoon.

When we were at the beach back in September.. that dark "shingle" painted roof was just too hot.
I'm really counting on

Highly-rubberized, water-based coating offers 88% reflectivity to lower interior temperatures as much as 35% and up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit

chuckles

Here's me resting while paint dries between coatings, having a nice puff.

Since that extra white top will make that log cabin siding look messed up... I may go with some Valspar exterior and get it painted to match my Blue explorer Before spring but after I add a cross breeze window. LOL

just uploaded a couple images from installing a 12x18 window on the street side yesterday.

Next I'm going to paint the whole trailer, most likely either a blue that matches my Explorer or back to White with a clear coat. That log cabin paint job it had when I first bought it used draws too much attention.
