I got a 60watt solar system today for fathers day the same as this but portable

I am not sure why the 60watt portable is not listed on the website, I am very excited, and am considering just mounting it permanently on the roof, but still have a ways before I can get to that point

I have talked to my sheet metal supplier and a 4'x10' sheet of aluminum is around $94, way too rich for my blood until I go back to work, but I still have a lot to do, with the parts I have :beer:

Progress has slowed, with the cold weather, but still moving in the right direction, no Pictures because it has been raining a lot, and I don't want to drag it out and get it wet, the taillights are mounted under the frame, And it is ready for the outer $kin just saiving up money for the aluminum, the interior is almost done, just the kitchen and side doors need work, I will post pics as soon as I can

Looking good so far.

So how was that shower panelling to install? I need something for my little used camper for the inside roof.

Not bad, the instructions call for 1/8" all the way around the fasteners and edges for expansion and contraction, but should clean up nice

Kool thanks. I was thinking the same thing about clean up. My little wooden TD has a green painted side
walls. I had a mosquito in the camper and every time it went near the wall it disappeared. So I want light
colored walls. I bought one sheet of it so I'll try it out this winter on one wall. If it works out I’ll do the
other wall and ceiling.


Again thanks for the info

I completed the skin and most of the trim on 1 side of the trailer today, I hope to get the other side done next weekend, and finish up some galley projects this weekend

looking good. just a quick heads up though. you need to put some kind of stop on your door so if the wind catches it and the louvred windows are open they won't break and also dent the aluminium. I like that style of window even after receiving 7 stitches from walking onto some that where in the open position :oops:
Measure once, cut twice....throw away and repeat.

the galley is nearly complete, and I purchased the last sheet of aluminum yesterday, and hope to get it on this weekend , if not before, and I have plans for 2 props for the hatch that are attached at both ends, but have not ironed out all the details yet

once the skin is done I am going to take it to the state patrol for licensing :twisted:
