Glad you're feeling better, George. It's no fun, being sick.

Just did a test fit today before gluing it all up. Maybe tomorrow, still a few things to think about before I make it solid...

I like the foam interlock method you'r using!

Thanks, it seems to work out well so far. A bonus is that it also builds in some internal strength to the shelf as well which is welcomed at the center of the shelf.

Been working on the door framing some this weekend between keeping cool too.
I am working with 1x2 flashing and some drywall beading to make a door frame. I started a thread on how to work with flashing and beading here,
viewtopic.php?f=55&t=60303 .
Pictures of how the frame goes together. Not seen well is that there is another 1x2 piece of flashing on the inside.

Next I had to make it all one piece.
First clamp, then drill, then pop rivet. Makes for a nice strong channel with a built in edge for the weather stripping to attach to. I used a piece of scrap beading for a drill template.

After installing the door frame I attached the forward shelf to the door frame.

The shelf was not glued in yet. I was waiting for this time so I could attach it to the door frame and then glue it in so that it was even all the way across to the other door once installed.

I just read this entire build. Awesome details and info in here. I plan on using some of them on mine. I'm really interested in seeing your galley hatch finished because that's my biggest concern on my build.

Sorry folks. Been a long busy year and unfortunately hardly any work on the foamy. It seems a shame to be so close to being finished, but yet so far. Winter is setting in now so no work until spring. My plan is to purchase the last remaining items I need during this winter so I can get this thing done as soon as the snow melts. Crossing fingers.

Early Christmas presents, two 24"x15" RV slider windows and one 14"x14" vent with fan. Getting closer.

Weather actually was quite pleasant today so I was able to go out and do a bit of work on the trailer. Started to fit a door. Some cutting and sanding and I got it to fit.

Hope that a 1/4 inch gap will be enough clearance. It will be about a 1/8 inch clearance once the door is hung.

You may be tight with only a 1//4 inch, Depends on the skin.
I experimented and still am a little too tight on ours...

Yeah, I was thinking of opening it up another 1/8. I figured that would make up the difference of the flashing and canvas that still needs to go around the outer edge of the door. Not to mention the hinges will take up some room too. I guess that makes up my mind for me, thanks.

Windows and vent showed up. The windows were the single biggest expense so that hurdle is over.

Cool beans. I will have to invite myself over to see your build someday. I live over in Rupert. And this time of year I often need things to do.
