I had big plans for today. The snow had melted so I could remove the temporary rear wall from the camper and work on the galley. I woke up to several inches of new snow!
But, the weather cooperated and it warmed up nicely, snow melted and I got to do some work on the trailer. Thankfully, I remembered that I have to remove the door that forms the bed platform before I can finish sealing/painting the interior. That door can only come out through the rear of the trailer and only BEFORE the partition between the cabin and galley is installed.
SO... I installed the bracing on the shelves and installed the redwood countertop. Then moved all the tools and junk out of the way and removed the bed platform door. Now I can warm up the trailer tomorrow and paint most of the rest of the interior. Hooah!

That’s what the galley looks like now. There will be two large doors below the hatch on the topper. The left one will hold the cooler, which will swing in below the counter and the right door will hold the stove, which will swing in above the counter. The battery box will be in the center, under the counter and serve as the center support for that also.

I made a tall lip on the shelf above the counter to keep stuff from falling during travel. There will be a wall across the shelf, where the 2x2 is lying now.

A tool box and pile of ‘stuff’ is sitting in the space where the cooler will swing into, and in front of that will be the shower pump/tank and the honey bucket (when stored for travel).
The redwood counter is weathered gray right now, but will be sanded and sealed to bring out the color.
