Wonder 10 build

[cdlwingnut]

We put the windows in, They look pretty good, kind of wish I had gone with taller windows though but they are the size the plans called for. Also managed to finish skinning the outside, then started to get the frame for the dinette and galley. This is really coming together nicely.

oh and scott we are planning on using fiberglass on it then. still haven't decided to make it a woody or to use a good house paint.

Thats looking very good.I had previously considered this plan a little bigger to fit a popup frame I have but an old gutted Shasta came along io fix up.Good to see somebody
building this.

I've been neglecting my build log. Quite a bit of progress has been made on the project. The outer skin is all on now, the door is in place. A bed frame has been constructed to it can be lifted up and out of the way when not in use. the front bed is constructed so it can be turned into a dinette, Still need some work before it can be a table though. the Kitchenette has been started and a bed stand. This thing is looking like a camper

[album][/album]More progress on the interior. The cabinet next to the door is ready for its door. the table can now be positioned as a table or a bed. did some more work on the kitchenette. The door knob and dead bold has been installed too.

Looking good, what are your plans for insulation and interior wall covering? I like the fold up bed idea.

[cdlwingnut]

The plans for the wonder 10 don't have insulation, this will be pretty much a 2 season camper. There isn't much margin in the weight limit of the trailer to add much for interior walls, the plans do say you can put some insulation then use uphoistery stapled to the frame. I am thinking just stain and varnish the wood.

Installed the lights and hooked them to the battery.

You won't regret adding insulation. Even 3/4" of foam will make a big difference.

Been working on the cabinets and interior

still plugging away on the Camper, I forgot to take pictures the last time I worked on it so will have to wait till the next build session to take a few.
It is pretty much to the point where I can hang the cabinet doors. then fiberglass and paint the outside. Then it will be in condition to use it this summer and I can stain and varnish the inside in the next off season.

We made sure all the staples were flush and sanded all the plywood overlaps flush. Put a couple of 2x4s under the floor for some more support. we had a little more time left so we got a couple of the cabinet doors hung.

Got one more good picture of the outside

Looking great! Any updates?

Getting to be a busy time of the year but have been filling the seams with body putty, and got the lights figured out. need to get a layer of fiber glass on it then paint. still some wiring to run but should hopefully be ready for camping season.
