After some delays, I have finally completed all the indoor work (Judy is still working on some decals). Painting the stripes on the side and re-installing the porch light were the last items of interior work. I still have a lot of work to do outside to prepare a storage area so I'm thinking I'll just let the trailer sit in the garage for the winter and we'll finish it up outside in the spring. There are a few things I can do inside by jacking it up including final stapling of the bottom row of metal skins and sealing the small area on the front and back between the diamond plate and the frame. Then the only work to do outside will be to re-install the axle and tires and the Fantastic Fan.
The stripes are Rustoleum paints applied with a 4" foam roller. Judy wanted a turquoise stripe in the middle so we had to mix it ourselves. The yellow was also mixed to soften it from the stock Sunburst Yellow. The turquiose was a trial and error mix of white, blue, and green.
Front quarter view showing the EPDM roof. All the trim around the edges of the roof was sealed with Dicor lap sealant. The Fantastic Fan will also be sealed with Dicor.
Rear view showing the diamond plate on the bottom bevel. The license plate bracket is actually the front bracket from my Xterra TV. The spare tire was originally installed in this area but I decided to store it indoors and haul it in the TV when we are towing.
Left side of rear interior area showing the full size queen bed and rear shelving. Reading lights are LED. All other interior lighting is 12 volt DC. There are five AC receptacles scattered around the perimeter walls for running ceramic heater, coffee pot, computer, and various chargers.
Right side of rear area with bed and shelving. The small shelf on the wall folds out to hold a laptop computer which we use to watch DVD's at night.
Dinette and galley cabinet in front end. The small galley cabinet was an existing unit that I made years ago and we just use it primarily to store our smaller galley stuff. We also have storage under the bed for the big stuff. We make coffee on the small cabinet in the mornings but we do most of our cooking outdoors under a 10' Easy Up over the picnic table.
Another view of the dinette area and small galley cabinet. The floor in the center was dropped six inches in order to drop the overall height and allow me to build it indoors. Got the rug on Ebay. The electrical system is under the left seat and a port-a-potty and space heater are stored under the right seat.
Sewing is another one of my talents. I sewed the curtains double sided so the good side shows inside and outside. They are simple pocket curtains on a standard bracket. They will pull easily to the side to provide interior lighting during the day.
We will be piddling with decals for the next few weeks and then it just sits til spring. Stay tuned....................
