Hatch update.

I installed the fenders and wired the lights.

I hate these fenders. Anyone have any ideas for some better more rounded fenders?

I think I am eventually going to replace the square ones with these:

I hate the HF stock ones also.

You got some pretty wide angle on there for trim...did you anneal yourself? Any other tricks?

The trim I bought was very flexible. I just took my time and worked it slow. I didn't have to heat anything up it just came together.

Good to see you back at the build Melven. She is looking good. The external screws around the window
gives it a Steampunk look.
:thumbsup:

Hopefully the camper will not explode if it gets rear ended.
:R

You’ll be camping soon.

Here are some more updates. I got the galley looking pretty good, also got the interior looking pretty good. Plenty of room for fishing gear!

Cool! She's looking great!

I like the jars with the lids attached under the shelf, just like grandpa used to do with all of the little nuts and bolts in "the hot house" (his old work shed converted from a citrus nursery).

Thank you. Yeah I figured that would be a cleaver way of making space. Also didn't want cupboards in there so it worked out well.

Melven, where are you located and what size are those fenders. I have a pair that you can have for $25. Brand new, still in the box. I'm in Maryland.
