here we go again 14+7 V

Postby Tx River Rat » Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:39 pm

Brought home a 14 ft + 7 ft v nose tandem today I like the black and know it is going to be hot but it sure looks good. :D
A couple years ago I built a couple trailers called Texas Tepee , they have serve me well but I want to get away from wood as much as I can.
The trailer will have the kitchen area in the nose ,using a camp chef for cooking inside when I have to but out side most of the time, I would really appreciate any picks of a kitchen area built into the front of the v nose and would also like some sources for rv windows .
Thanks
Ron

I just ordered a window from "vintek1958" seller on eBay. They had the best options for me.

Congrats on your trailer!

Question: What's a Texas Teepee trailer?

How do you think cedar strips would look for the door inserts on cabinets?

Ron I was considering the very same thing on my build ..being a friend gave me an 11 foot 8''X8'' cedar beam last year...I also thought cedar strips glued up into a tambour door would be nice....contrast the cedar with birch door frames....

After following the thread on floor insulation and working in the trailer at 21 degrees I have made the decision to go with adding insulation to the paint and putting a couple coats inside the trailer on the floor and rear gate.
I can always add a couple coats on the bottom if I need to.

:thumbsup: I'm thinking the same thing for mine. I already have 4 gallons of elastomeric I can use.
