Nice thanks mate.what is it called if I go looking for one?

[Sheddie]

I have just had a look on google, typed in "rv door retainer nz" and found this one. It is the same thing in white.

Try google and replace the "nz" with "aus" "usa" or whatever is appropriate. Probably come under truck body parts as well.

Frank, can you let me know what type of screws you used to fix your exterior panels on with please, cheers

Hi Wayne, on the sides the only screws are the ones holding the door frames, awning lights and galley vents. The sides were glued on with this stuff. It was the one that Ullrich recommended. It works as a glue and sealant.

The roof panel was glued on all the cross beams and along the edges with screws all around the edges where they would be covered by the right angle alloy trim. The screws are (I think from memory) spaced at six inches. Same screws in the alloy trim spaced between the others.

Nearly there, the galley is well on the way, just starting the wiring, then the cladding.

Looks like your toster oven is a little off level.

I have an odd tyre on one side at moment, the other started going flat. The swing-outs are built to slope inwards.
Nearly done, just wiring and cladding.

The first panel has gone on, yeah!

I have had real serious issues with Fix All HG, as we had a couple of real cold mornings after I had glued the sides on and it didn't set, so have had to do some of the edges again.
Got the mattress, it will go in tomorrow, then finish the wiring on top, then the roof panel. Yipee.

[Sheddie]

Have to keep the clamps on longer. Not long now and you will be finished.

The side panel in the sun, and mattress in.
We may change mattress as this one is about 50mm to thick.

The outside is going on, need the weight on top to compress the signboard onto the rafters, and the straps to spread the compression over the other rafters.
