the coleman cooler (?)

[Colemancooler]

since my last update i got the tongue finished, added the jack, welded on a hitch on the rear, and attached the fresh water tank




My goal is to have everything frame wise done before the 3 wing cutter I ordered comes in, I already have the floor trimmed and ready to install , as soon as the pieces are joined, and a rough layout of the Profile. I will share as soon as I have something Picture worthy

I have arranged with my neighbor that does flooring, to get some black and white tiles like the grocery stores have for the floor

Lookin good, I wish I'd mounted my water tank below floor, but I kinda wanted it inside for cold weather camping

[Colemancooler]

I thought about that, I would like to camp in the snow, guess I will have to do it without water

[Colemancooler]

got the nasty black stuff on the bottom,

hope to have the walls up tomorrow

[Colemancooler]

any preferences on the Pink foam over the white Styrofoam foil backed stuff, I couldn't find an R value for either

[Martiangod]

Pink has higher R value then white inch for inch
White will absorb water, pink won't
white is messy to cut, pink less so, white will crumble, pink won't

I used extruded in ceiling and floor, foil backed expanded in walls, if i hadn't of been out of work at the time, Lack of $$$ the whole thing would have been extruded
Extruded also has more structural integedy
The foil backing is for workability of the foam, so it does not break so easy when cutting and handling and also a vapour barrier, pink is a vapour barrier in itself


Styrofoam Expanded (white in color):

A sheet with 1 inch thickness has R value of 3.8 per square inch.


Styrofoam Extruded (light blue/pink/green in color):

A sheet of 1 inch thickness has R value of 5 per square inch.

thank you all for all the ideas and input still lots of work to do

[KCStudly]

A milestone moment. Keep at it, you're almost there (just keep saying that and build, build, build).

[Martiangod]

That water tank is really going to keep the CG down low, are you going to skid plate it or box it in to protect it?
Looking good, walls make it seam so much closer to finished

[Colemancooler]

I am not sure Yet, the axle almost completely protects it from the front, But I do see the potential for backing into something

[Colemancooler]

more progress, probably going to run out of funding by the time I get wiring and insulation

[Colemancooler]

Just Ordered 2 of these http://www.amazon.com/Seasense-Super-Bright-Interior-Surface/dp/B001HPJLBG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_3

Have been looking for work more than working on the trailer but I hope to start on wiring soon

[txcamper]

Built in switch, that's a concept I wish I'd though of! Great looking lights.

I ordered my shore Power inlet from amazon and it arrived today and was promptly sent Back, apparently the Marinco 150BBI.RV stock photo is also used by amazon for the Marinco 200BBI.RV, I ordered it based on the Picture, and the inlet I received the Marinco 200BBI.RV was not as Pictured and had a crooked prong, so Now I am waiting for the correct one to arrive and working on Cabinets.
I AM NOT a carpenter, it will work, but might not be beautiful. I will post pIcs as i get enough progress to make it worth while

[Colemancooler]

slowly but surely making progress, usually any day that it is out in the front at least two people stop to talk to me about it.

made my own fantastic fan with a computer fan


got flooring installed, this is tile from a grocery store that was left over, I got from my neighbor


getting the tongue storage figured out, and some wiring done
