No worries. If you have questions about major rv gear hit me up. Just my personal experience. The domestic toilets are way easier to maintain. Hate to sound like an advertiser but dometic makes a lot of user friendly and decent stuff for travel trailers

Nice progress. So is your plan to install the insulation boards first, then cut out grooves/channels for the electrical? I'm still debating how I'm going to do it.

Once I finalize where electrical goes I will use my dremel to zip paths through the insulation (1/4 inch deep) to the top of the trailer through a grommet in the metal "header". Smurf tube hidden in the arch of the roof will run back to the PD4045 the rear.

I'm still trying to visually layout what I need where, and what will be used.

So far I cant fit a 4k UHD tv anywhere that looks good...

Good idea with the dremel bit. I will have to remember that.

I'm curious about that sound deadener. Do you really get 40 sq. ft. of coverage from one gallon?

Hey Bob,

The 5/16th Maple comes in a 4x8 sheet that is pre-finished in a clear coat of lacquer over a maple veneer.
It's used in cabinets all the time.
I figured since I was going to use 1/4 inch on my interior walls and then do something for "color" that this saves me a step or two.

I'll snap a few pictures of the product this weekend.

Great Aron. I look forward to it. I am wrestling with something like that or go with a hickory or pine strips. I like the wood effect and would paint our cabinets a muted green color for contrast.

Sorry for teh long delay, got sick, then life got busy... Were moving in a few weeks so I have to get the trailer somewhat ready to use to haul our crap to the new place. I'm in teh process of re-wirign the actual trailer lights with new LED lights and break away controller.

I did get the new 3/4 inch plywood flooring in and secured... Painted the underside with a exterior paint to seal it up a bit.
