Good Morning.
I've been working on the final layout for the hatch. With that I'm trying to determine the sealing and aluminum trim for not only the hatch and galley area but also for all the corners for the entire trailer cabin, as it all seems to tie into one another. Sheathing the sides and roof with .040 aluminum. I had originally cut out a 3/8" inch recess on the trailer's sides for a strip of trimlok for the hatch to land on, but not sure I'll be following that original design (pic attached just below).
I'm planning on using the wide offset "T" aluminum molding from Vintage Technologies on the 3 side edges of the hatch to land on a seal of some sort but I'm having trouble envisioning how the other corner moldings tie into that, like on the other side of the hurricane hinge. In "web searching" I can see on other trailers there seems to be a continuous molding channel filled with the vinyl insert but I can't see how the hatch door lands on top of that to create a seal, unable to find some close up shots of how all this comes together (with the acceptation of the attached from Vintage Technologies). I'm wondering if the continuous molding I see has the vinyl insert until it hits the hurricane hinge and then under the hatch edge rather than the vinyl strip a trimlok seal is inserted into the alum molding rather than the vinyl insert (in that same aluminum molding??).
So.... I'm asking if members could post some various pictures of their aluminum moldings and also especially the areas around the hatch and where the hatch lands on the seal (like before the hurricane hinge and after the hinge. Any other more detailed photos would be a big help.
Thank you very much.... I know it's some work to take photos and post ... I really appreciate the help.
Regards
John
