Hatch rib sugestions/ fixed

[Steve Frederick]

Glad to see things worked out!

Thanks Steve! If I keep backing up I get to start over, right.

Jim, Mike and I had the discussion of really big honkin struts. I keep hoping I just lost muscle over the winter. Maybe we all need to add weights to our puters.

Aunit M,


When I saw your hatch (the square version) I was thinking, Holly Cow, that is one darn big hatch. Then Brick said something and Jim said something, and now it is my turn, Are you planning on providing shade for the whole campsite? WOW, you are going to enjoy all the openness of your cooking area, Have fun.

Aunti M,

Can you give us a picture of you standing next to the back of your trailer? Hatch up or down, that doesn't make a difference. I might have some suggestions when I see the height comparison

What ya say, picture or no picture? That is the question

MJ, and the Party lights, (full size lanterns)

Well the beads I might do. I could do Gypsy and be happy. Notice the red swan not white.

The bottom of the trailer is 21" off the ground. I am 5' 4". The inside dimension of the galley is 74"wide and 56" high. Result---I cannot touch the top. When the hatch is raised I will not be able to reach anything so I am not putting anything there.

I find it difficult to do a picture by my self. I will get one tomorrow if I don't look too grungy.

Grungy is good. Makes us think you're working.

Hi, Auntie M!

I don't know what camera you have. Most of them have the "self-timer" button, which gives you about 10 seconds to run back into position. Camera needs to be on a tripod or some other kind of prop, if you don't have one.

Compose your pic, press the button and run!

PS I think you look great to everyone on this forum(at least).

Is just short on one end?
If so, I would "sister" a section of material along side the offending rib.
If it involves the radius..can you add a thin strip (3/8") to that side?

When you are born terminally CRS these things happen. Thank you Steve. I reread these over and decided to check cause Murphy loves me.

I am at a total loss how one of the ribs got so much shorter than the others. A full inch translating it's self to the problem. Crisis over and sister on the way. As soon as it stops raining so I can use my saw.

Gee, Aunti M.

I had enough short ribs left over on my build to invite the neighbors in for a BBQ.

I'm doing my next build around the shortest rib

Thank you Geron. I so needed the laugh. 2 sheets of 3/4 plywood are really heavy, even if Lowes did cut it. I forgot to eat lunch so thanks for the reminder. Did you save me some?
