What thickness did you use for the roof/outershell? Looks like luan or similar thickness but I can't tell for sure.

got some more work done on the trailer. skinned the whole thing in .040 aluminum. bought those horrible air sheers from harbor frieght. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! thing did not work at all. returning for some wheel blocks. ended up using a jig saw with a fine metal blade. worked awesome. be careful about scuffing your aluminum as i did. floated the aluminum and fastened it on all of the edges. already went through rain and snow with no leaks :D . just got my camco wave 3 heater in the mail. hopefully install that this weekend but the weathers supposed to be pretty damn cold! anyone have any good paint ideas for the snowdrop???

cheerio

been a productive weekend! got a hookup on the shag carpet fer free love it. installed it permanantly on the headboard and 2 inches up the wall. left the floor free floating so i can pull it out and wring out spilt booze and regrets. me and the wizard(my dad) built and installed cabinets in the sno drop. the sno drop also got moved into the garage so life is much easier and working on her is much more enjoyable. my mom also suprised me with letting me trailer it out west with her tacoma. four wheel drive and new tires will be greatly appriciated!

keep positive and test negative,

brian f.

Brian, you've got a great "git 'er done" build going. I think you'll be ready for ski season.
I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.
