Hi theicomguy,

What type of paint did you use for your osb walls? Did you coat the underside of your osb floor with anything? How's the Raptor holding up on your interior floor? I have a similar build underway and there's little info out there about painting or sealing osb.

Thanks, Anthony

Love how your build is coming along. How was your trip?
Do you have any pictures of your bench seating turned into a bed? with or without the mattress?
Thank you, Oggy

Sorry. Trip was great. Was way warmer than we had hoped but managed it.

Paint - Wife used standard exterior latext paint. Held up very well.

Floor - Raptor is still holding strong. I sprayed some of under side also. Planning to do the rest this spring.

I'll dig up pics. Insulation in walls could have been better. May pop panels off and try to add to them, but also thinking about selling and doing bigger this time.

Well to be fair we went from a 35' motorhome with dual slides to a 5x10 CTC. It was a huge change and in the end just didn't do what we had hoped for. To be honest we could have went on the trip with the MH and spent not much more and been more comfortable. But this is how you learn. We started with tents, then pop up, TT, 5th wheel to MH then all the way back. We still have it and may use it again for a night here or there but most likely try to surplus it this spring when folks are looking.
