[willfish4fud]

Looks freakin fantastic bro. Great job so far

Thanks...lots of work but coming together so far

[willfish4fud]

Wasn't going to do walls just yet but new floors made walls look pretty bad. Primed bead board paneling will probably be painted white

willfish4fud, Howdy;

Welcome aboard! Sounds like the beginnings of a plan. Looking forward to
seeing what you come up with.

Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome aboard willfish4fud,
Sounds like you going to have some fun ... 1st building a CT Conversion and then getting to use it. One thing for certain, you sound like you have an immediate build in mind and are looking ahead for the inevitable changes and tweaks that make the trailer personal!
Good Luck and I hope you have as much fun as I am ...

I have not had the issues you are having and can suggest that you keep your pics small as Amin suggests and if you continue to experience problems, contact the Admin ... they are great!!

Thanks for the welcome. I am def looking forward to a road trip with CT soon

[willfish4fud]

Welcome aboard

I'm glad to see that the Dow Blue board is finally catching on here,
It's hands down number 1 quality vs the pink or white.
Don't forget to put some on the floor & doors too

Cheers OTTCT

Thanks

Not the best of days as I had to remove some paneling to reset the plywood underneath so my trim would fit. Air compressor took a dump so I went old school with paneling nails and hammer. That sucked... a lot. Not a fan of the V Nose that slants down as far as ceiling and trim work. Wouldn't buy that feature in the future. Did get paneling fixed, ceiling installed and part of trim work done.

[willfish4fud]

:thumbsup: you are doing a great job on this build

thank you

Majority of trim work is finished. TV mount and a few pieces to complete rod racks should do it. I have another cabinet I may add later. Im undecided on countertop as of yet but I plan to have it span cabinets but only come out 14-15" so as to not be in the way of entry door. II am planning a folding fly tying desk and hanging shelves from Cabelas. Am undecided on bed but considering futon with memory foam added or just standard mattress. Should be wrapped up and on the road after this week.

Didn't like previous set up for AC. I was going to have it as a fixed mount and though it was only going to stick out about 7-8 inches I decided I wanted it inside a hatch. I built the shelf with brackets and a piece of 3/4" starboard and then added a slider on top (1/2" starboard) that the AC will be attached to. The AC and 1/2" sb will slide in and out of hatch. I put the screws through from the inside so as to leave threaded studs on outside. These will be attachment points for another small shelf to help support weight of AC. It will be removable and will only be added when the CT is set up to camp. When I leave it will be removed (wing nuts) and stored.

Exterior studs

Looking gooood ...
I like the paneling and the white should help brighten up the interior. I can't wait to see all the final pics ... my wife is bugging me about an AC! I am pushing back on that as I really don't want to go to that much trouble ... generator and limited parking (Hmm, solar sounds good though, maybe a good excuse to add solar). That will have to wait, I just added an awning ($$) -- decided to go with a factory model rather than home-grown ... I need to find my camera (still unpacking) and will post those to my gallery soon.

Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming ...

Thanks for the comments. The AC was a pain but here in MS I just have to have it. Pretty sure I could do it faster and cheaper the second time around. Bought solar panels last night. Hope to have them by the end of the week. Id like an awning but I have spent a ton and will probably wait. Look forward to seeing yours...itll probably change my mind. Im doing the bed today and will have more pics tonite. Thanks

It's looking nice. Are you going to install a sink, Stove and etc.?

Thanks. No sink or stove. Going to do some form of chuck box with a coleman stove I think
