Here is the aft end sheeted from the inside. Outside to be sheeted also.

Today I finished installing the overhead insulation. Note makeshift bracing while the adhesive cures.

Your conversion is coming along nicely Jeff.

There sure is a lot of room in those! I know you'll put it to good use.

Thank you for the words of encouragement. Actually, sometimes I get to thinking I would like even more room but this is OK for now. Late next week I will be going up to the EAA Airventure for about 10 days off grid so I am hoping to get at least the major mechanical stuff done in the next week or so.

Today I plan on finishing the wiring for the lights and fan. Those wires sure get everywhere.

[Jeffmo63]

Today I am mounting the refer/freezer in the trailer. I am using a 7/16 bolt and a coupling nut and another 7/16 bolt through the floor. This should be more than adequate and will let a little more cooling air flow under the bottom of the refer.

[Jeffmo63]

More wiring. This time the main harness to the batt. Thick 6 ga goes to the inverter and thinner 10 ga goes to main fuse block. Still got to seal the hole with a semi non-permanent putty. Any ideas? I ended up using something called duct seal. It was in the electrical department and is very appropriate for this application.

[Jeffmo63]

1/4 luan to be used in overhead. First coat of poly-u shown. Next pic is of second and final coat. Pretty.

[Jeffmo63]

Refer/freezer installed and operating on 12 vdc. Wiring to be neatly bundled after lighting checks out.

[Jeffmo63]

15w of solar helping out a little. 80w Sharp panel desired.

[Jeffmo63]

Got one overhead panel screwed into the roof bows. Somewhat cumbersome working alone but managed with the help of some temporary braces. Also, make a note. Do not use cheap drill bits when drilling into steel. I wasted a lot of time trying it that way.

[Jeffmo63]

And here is the lighting installed. I will have a total of 5 dual bulb lights in the overhead and 2 singles on the aft bulkhead for reading. They light the interior quite nicely.

[Jeffmo63]

OK, I am leaving in the morning for EAA Oshkosh Airshow with a partially completed CT. My intention is to work on her a little bit here and there while up there. All major systems are in place and functional. Will continue to update as I get more done or learn something new.

[Jeffmo63]

Here she is at the EAA. Had to move to a more dry location.

And for my next trick I had planned on attaching a beveled piece of plywood to finish the corner between the ceiling and side wall. Tried ripping some plywood with a circular saw and a guide but the pieces turned out pretty lousy as it seems circular saws don't rip too well on a 45 degree bevel. If I had a table saw, I would re-rip the pieces and I'm sure they would turn out pretty good. As it is I may be able to save what I have with some sanding and piecing together. Any suggestions or ideas in this department would be appreciated.
