Its sort of mine!

I'm deleting that video that shows as a pic for my thread. It's not mine and I don't want anyone thinking I'm taking credit for it.
And I still see the pic as my header

I see the pic is still here.

I have my PD4045 mounted and my DC and AC wiring in process. DC outlet, pump switch and sink light are completed. I have wired a switch for rope lights that are on order. I'm using it for a temporary work light. I need one more for loft bed. AC wiring - I'm only having 3 outlets. 1 in couch/sofa bed cabinet. 1 in front by V. And an outside outlet. The couch is completed. And IT WORKS as well as my DC..
I'm not sure about the 2 existing dome lights- they work only when connected to TV. I've separated it and had my boat battery supplying power to them. With the existing CT wiring no charge is going to breakaway small battery. So I can wire it to my CT battery or leave it as is. If I do this I'll add a battery discount and the dome lights to my power panel.
No more moving walls they are all mounted. Paneling isn't completed for front and one side of shower. But sink area is. Water is next I picked up some fittings- but . I've had what I believe was/is a sinus infection now moved to my chest so once again I'm SICK..

Finally feeling better. But now I'm gathering firewood for house/pole barn heat. Yep it's heating season ! Saturday I intended to wire a hot water heater for my pole barn. But my brain wasn't working well enough for it. I wanted to get something done so I added a door to base cabinet. I'd looked at those used doors many times none seemed to fit. I picked up some parts to build one and picked up this door. Fit perfect! Painted it and 6 screws it was done.

I cut some pieces today to make my drop ceiling for shower stall. But I need some good caulk so tomorrow I'll get a load of firewood and try to get caulk too.

I had a few more doors out of the pick up camper I scrapped. I'm out of lauan except for bathroom wall piece and scraps. Only one door was complete the second needed lauan. And the others were wrong size. But I managed to make 2 more frames and find enough scraps.
So while not perfect I added these.

Thanks.
My goal for today was to get bathroom ceiling up. Neaten up the wiring so l I could get the front bathroom wall up and lots of other stuff. After searching and not finding the piece of FRP that I had set aside for bathroom I realized I used it for the opposite side of bathroom-sink wall as a splash guard! So I'm hoping the guy that saves old trailers will get me something to use.

Since I used the 2 old - sheets of FRP board stored in my pole barn that was suppose to go in my basement to finish a wall. I've decided to cut my CT bathroom ceiling out of a panel on my basement wall. . I just might! My hot water heater came today. I was surprised that it has everything but 2-d batteries. Very complete and cheap. Regulator-propane & hose, stand, fittings, shower head and hose.

Water, water heater and heater all working. Bathroom isn't completed yet, but I had to test for leaks.

Waste tank drain installed! Toilet hooked up and working. Pieces cut for tank air vent. Shower and sink drain pieces cut.
And for the first time in nearly a year my trailer is out of the pole barn and was towed. My dog and I are now camping in it in my yard.
I duct taped my shower to try out my instant hot water heater. Worked great even if I forgot to bring the soap.

I had help today. My friend had the correct hole-saws and drilled the air vent hole. Then with 2 of us we held and marked the waste line. He cut them and then said oh this has to be on an angle to miss the tongue rail., I thought crap another plan blew up in my face. But then he said oh it fits perfect just misses the tongue rail and the rail protects it !
Which was the plan!

Here is a pic with my couch/dinette cushions on it.

I love this idea. I am planning a queen bunk setup. The top would raise and lower like yours on the slides, then on the bottom will be a dinette that will convert to a queen size bed. Is this a queen size bed on the slides? I would like to make this with just the slides and no springs to assist in raising and lowering. This is because I have a window that will be in between the slides and the springs would be in the middle of the window while the bed is in the stored position. Before you installed the springs, was it difficult to raise and lower the bed?

Thanks,
Donald
