Thanks! Ok, I took the boards back off, and I painted 2 coats of Henrys Elastomeric Roof Coating, and now I am putting the tongue and groove back on... I made it too the roof...
done for the weekend.. hopefully next weekend I can finish the exterior wood, and get the doors installed.

I got one side finished today, except for the trim... I set the door in place... but not in permanently yet....

Looks good.

Look up GWP's waterproofing formula under Foamies. I'd do that before painting the boards.

looks great, I love the way you have the grain on the lower siding perpendicular to the upper.

Thanks Guys!! It was a productive weekend, even with the fourth festivities! I finished the siding on the right side, I made the rear hatch door, but I ran out of tongue and groove, so I need to get one more package to finish... I Put a coat of Benite wood conditioner all over... still not sure if we are going to stain it... or just put some sort of clear on the outside.... looks like we should finish in time to go camping on the 17th!

I had another productive week!! things are looking good for the Maiden Voyage on the 17th!!
Today I said good bye to our 24' RV, I would of loved to keep it for my man cave, but we really needed the space to park the new little trailer! We finished all the planking, Stained the inside and outside, Put the fenders on! Tomorrow, we will start on the trim.... put the doors in permanently, hook up the electrical....seal the fantastic fan to the roof....

The exterior wood design looks nice.

Thank you!! Another Great day today!! Got the Doors in, the trim finished, the vent working Porch lights in..!! 12 volt power hooked up, and the 2- 3" memory foam mattress's from Costco in... Now I need to hook up the 110 power, finish a little more trim, Stain the top shelf in the kitchen area... figure out a battery box....Bolt the cabin to the trailer!! need to make sure I don't forget...

[mrwall1]

Well Finally 98% finished... Heading off this morning to Lake Diablo, Northern Washington! will post pics on a new thread when I get back!! I had to take the box off I was using for the batteries... too flimsy...

[mrwall1]

I finished a few details this weekend! I had accidentally screwed one of the kitchen drawers shut and can not get to the screws so I cut a hole from the top and bought a Coleman stacker ice chest and it fits perfect there!




I also built some quick cabinet doors for the top shelf to keep the canned goods




I built a front tray for the battery until I get a tongue box...

[noseoil]

Great job on the build! I'm wondering what the weight worked out to be with your basement & the shelves stocked. Any idea abut actual rolling weight now with battery in place, tongue weight & total? Congratulations on a nice build!

Thanks!! no I don't how much it weighs, I don't know where I can go to get it weighed, not sure if I can go to a freeway weigh station or not... I can move it by myself, in the driveway, but when loaded I can use an extra hand! Part of the reason I built the shelf for the batteries is it tipped backwards on me when I removed the rear stabilizer to move it back into the garage... so now I have two batteries and a small generator on the shelf... seems to keep it from tipping....
