Great looking build! :thumbsup:

I think sliders are a great choice. Here's my forward storage. They work great.

Thanks Tony. I try to think things ahead as much as possible. I was afraid that if I had swinging cabinet doors over the counter they would open up into my cook pot. Your build looks super nice.

Thanks, I'm mostly trying to follow the Fredericks shop manual. Just throwing in my own ideas here and there. Fiberglass has some life lessons the first time you work with it I'll tell you that!

Your build is coming along nicely! I'm at a similar point... got electricity now, but trailer not yet skinned and waterproof. Looking forward to seeing how you do that. Did you say it was going to be coated in fiberglass?

It's nice to have power in the trailer to run tools and such. It will make the rest of the construction easier, and you can choose to work into the night now that the days are getting shorter.

Strong work! :thumbsup:

Thank you. My sides are already fiberglassed because it's easier to glass them laying flat.

I wired the cabin lights a couple days ago and verified that they work properly. I'm going to connect the fan vent tomorrow night. If all is well I'll start insulating the roof.

Once the roof goes on then I'll glass it more or less ignoring the edges.

Finally, using push pins I'll lap six inch glass tape along the edges of the roof and sides. That will connect everything and make it seamless.

Cheers!
