The UPS truck keeps delivering everything I have ordered from Amazon Prime. Soon as the weather breaks here in Pennsylvania will be working on the interior. It is SNOWING right now 25 degrees. So thankful my son from Michigan will be in for a few days over Easter to help his dad with this project!

Congrats! Just did the same with a 7x12 cargo trailer from Pace. We also did a screen door from the factory and I couldn't be more happy with that decision!!!
Looking forward to comparing progress and designs!

So happy for Amazon and UPS. The products have been arriving and I have been purchasing some things locally like my new Durcell AGM 31 Battery from Sam's. Lots of electrical from Home Depot. Also got a new Coleman 2 burner propane stove. The build is scheduled to begin this Friday. My son is coming in for a long Easter weekend from Michigan. Plus, he has already built his R & R Cargo Trailer into a camper. He took it from Michigan to Wyoming over Christmas with his 2 youngest children and they scored on a elk. So Friday is the day - pictures will be coming!

Here are photos of the exterior of my R & R - 12 X 7 VDC Platinum
On the nose is my 30 amp plug in - black box
This is my exterior TV inlet above the chrome - the small black box.
Special thanks to my son, Dano from Michigan, my son David from Pennsylvania and my grandson Colin from Virginia for all their help Saturday through today (Tuesday) 4/3/2018.

Very professional work right there. How great must it be to have 3 generations working together on a project like this.
You just don't see much of that these days it seems.
Very tidy trailer, Sir. Enjoy it as often as possible.

Thanks for the comments on the build so far. Next we will tackle the kitchen base cupboards and countertop that will hide my Progressive Dynamics Power Center & Battery. Will also have upper cupboards too. I have a friend who has a furniture factory. He is custom building my kitchen cabinets for me. So thankful for family and friends with this project. Looking forward to a 3 - 4 week trip this July from my home in PA to Yellowstone and then back through the UP of Michigan. Happy that my son and his wife & two youngest children will be traveling with us for 3 of these weeks with their R & R Cargo/Camper Trailer too! Dano built his cargo/camper trailer last fall and has already taken to WY from his home in Michigan last December for a successful Elk hunt. Dano is on this list too and has logged his build.

Your build looks great!. Lucky for you to have a friend who build cabinets. I never built any cabinets or used a router before I started mine. They turned out okay.. but can definitely tell I made them.
Nothing like a home built camper. It sounds like you have a great trip planned. Best of luck. Please post up pictures of the kitchen as you go. Are you building a bathroom in the trailer? Sorry if I missed that.

Not planning a bathroom. We have a porty pottie and will pick up a shower tent.
