Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Great MtnDon

Your correct, on the wire it says cat 5 ......
So I just Ned to buy or make a shorter one.

Dropping door hinges, I know how long that side project can take
But by end of march is still record time

It might be more phone cable afterall it only has 4 contacts.

One progress photo.



The 3/8 plywood has been reattached to the metal wall ribs in the rear section only so far.

Furring strips added to rear section of roof, attached to metal ribbing frames. Infilled with 1/2" polyiso, glued. Then covered with 2" polyiso, glued, plus I used 2" EIFS washers and screws to affix the foam to the furring strips.

EIFS washers, nylon...


As well 2" polyiso has been glued to the wall plywood, as well as having a few EIFS washers and screws.

Cut outs in the doors are for an A/C unit (right side of image, left of trailer), and a future window. Hinges at top of doors had to be relocated upwards. The hollow doors are almost completely filled with foam in a can at this point. The door with the A/C will be receiving a steel frame reinforcement.

Come on MtnDon

Chop Chop ....whats the progress for the last week


Jerry

Well, somehow a backyard project found its way to the top of the "things to do" list on Saturday morning. Most of the weekend was spent installing some SynLawn artificial turf in a section of the backyard and erecting a small kids playhouse. Very little got done with the CT this week; not worth getting the camera out.

MtnDon, Howdy;

So, ... how much for an artificial lawn mower ????

Oh Great MtnDon

Can it be true that another week slipped by with a new more important Honey Do List

Your LOYAL followers are sitting and hoping for more progress

Oh cut the "Oh Great" business...

Anyhow there is progress; there just aren't any photos yet. Tomorrow will take care of that.

Not as much progress as I would like... I am a tax procrastinator. The first round is due this month on the 15th and I figured it might be about time to get that one looked after. I always procrastinate as we always owe Uncle some money. No sense rushing into that.

Yes Mtndon

Wheel boxes covered in plywood.
Side walls, rear, lower covered in 3/16" plywood underlayment.
Water heater boxed in plywood.
Fresh water tank secured to floor. Filler pipe ready to hookup.
Bed platform supports installed at left and right side walls. Need to complete the center support before installing plywood for mattress.



Rear section, below.
Water heater boxed in on left side.
Generator storage and to the right of it battery storage.



The Generator and batteries sit on slide outs for easier access when bed platform is completed. ; 250 lb capacity for the battery tray, 100 lb for the Honda.
The battery box section will be sealed with polyester resin, no cloth. Polyester resin is resistant to battery concentration sulfuric acid. There will be a vent to the exterior and it will be sealed from the balance of the trailer.



The batteries waiting for me to catch up. Cheap GC2's from Sams Club.

Lookin' Good! I like the slide out idea for batteries and generator, and the way you'll seal batteries inside with an outside vent.

MtnDon, Howdy;

In my RV I have 2 GC-2 batteries and they are contained in one of these,
Second row Right hand column;

Mind has a vent installed in the lid and vents to the exterior of the RV.
That way you could remove the lid when you choose to pull them out for
inspections. Just a thought ...

I think those are made by Deka (East Penn). I've got a set of Dekas now, they're good batteries. The sister-in-law has a membership at Sam's, I might have to go with her to the store sometime...
