This means I am a few steps further in SketchUp than the actual build.

The design in SketchUp is exact to the millimeter, this results in easy fabrication.
Design for routing of the electrical installation is done in SketchUp, the roof with skylight and MaxxFan is almost done.
So what remains is the galley hatch. My main concern is water getting in the galley while driving or when on a campsite. In Europe the weather is changing rapidly. We have more and more days with violent rainstorms. This means the hatch has to be as watertight as possible.
Since a hurricane hinge is hard to find I will probably opt for a plastic living hinge that I can source from a teardrop manufacturer. So that’s watertight.
But I still have no idea how to build the wall profile where it meets the hatch. Or how the hatch will look where it meets the wall in a way water cannot get in.
I came up with this design:

On top of the wall an aluminum z-profile is fitted. A self clamping rubber profile is then mounted to create a kind of gutter where water can run down. The hatch falls between the walls and is also fitted with a self clamping rubber profile with a rubber lip that rests on the top of the wall.
Somehow I don’t think this is the easiest of solutions. Tips for a better design are very welcome.
