Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I seen where people put tape around the window so I ran one strip around my window. That was not enough. When I turned the jig saw the vibration against the paint scratched the trailer in a couple of spots. So tomorrow when I cut the next window I will cover the whole area that I will touch. So cover your paint when cutting your windows.

Yep, tape is cheap insurance. I cover every inch where the base of the jigsaw may even think of touching.

Sorry for your oops

I used a cut off wheel. I know most like the jig saw but this option worked well for me.

I used wd40 as a lube when I needed to cut an electrical panel at work.
kind of messy but made for a smoother cut I just sprayed a little on jig saw blade as I cut.

like you I had to learn to use enough tape to prevent the panel from being scratched.

Unlike you I could repaint it place it in a 320 degree oven for 10 minutes and it looked factory new again.

OOPs Happens - at least it was with your first cut out - now you know

It is not really bad scratches you have to be close to the trailer to see them.
That is one reason I bought a older used trailer. I wanted to insulate with foam board but where I live they want $20 bucks per sheet, it looks like I am going to try batten insulation. I put it in 1/4 of the trailer Friday and it looks O.K.
I am only going to use this trailer a couple of time a year so I think the roll insulation will serve the purpose. I will update my album Tuesday to show the insulation. Right now I am trying to figure out what wiring I want in my trailer
I want mostly 12V with only three 120v plugs, TV, A/C , and one appliance plug.
I want 12v fans, lights, radio. I had to got to the eye doctor Friday and get some of that aluminum removed from my eye but by my next off day Tuesday I should be ready to go.
Thanks for the advice guys
