Don't think of us as company; think of us as family. A little sawdust here and there is acceptable ...as my grandmother would have said, "in the bosom of the family." :D

Alrighty got some good updates!! Glued my front aluminum on the other day.
Image
Had two buddies come over and give me a hand cutting and gluing the sides on.
Image
Takes at least 24 hrs for the glue to set, cant wait to see it with all my ghetto clamps off.

I do have a few updates. Here is the aluminum siding all glued on. Man if you even look at the aluminum wrong it scratches!! Eventually I am going to wrap it to match my hummers. I started doing the extrior hatch also, still need to finish the very back of the roof and upper portion of the hatch. Tomorrow I am ordering all the trim and hatch hinge. I have the water pump and boat style water fill on their way. Picking up a a couple of aftermarket heavier duty samurai leafsprings to replace the beat down stock ones. Have a lot going on.ImageImageImage

Hey getting quite a bit done! Installed the filler tube.
Image
General idea of the fill except im going to use a 45 degree bend
Image
Got most of the trim in
Image
I siliconed where all the aluminum edges meet and filled all the holes with silicone.
Image
Also started the galley trim
Image
Everything has the butyl tape underneath the trim. Both edges are now done and and all the body seams are covered.

Todays progress siliconed the exterior trim and around where the aluminum and trailer frame meet. My exterior door trim became interior door trim. Trim was a little too wide going to have to figure out another option. Mounted and wired my exterior flood lights.
Image
Siliconed around the housing also.
Plumbed all the water lines off the tank and into the rear. Going to end up putting foam around the lines.
Image
Installed the water pump. Should have good access to everything and be easy to work on.
Image
Had a set back though. I was given a set of rear leaf springs, I thought were heavier duty. They work better than stock but not going to cut it. I can push down and bottom the tires on the fenders. Going to order some heavier rear springs that are 265/lbs versus the stock 0/lbs replacements.
Bummed lol

Got my roof vent yesterday.
Image
Super easy install. Planning eventually pulling the fan and replacing it with a computer fan.
Image
Also installed my interior dome light
Image
Started working on installing the hatch trim till i ran out of butyl tape. Maybe the local rv store will have some I can get tomorrow.
