Great pictures of each step. I really like the color of your trailer...seems bright and cheery.

Now that's nice, and the colour is magic.

When I asked my wife what color she wanted it, she said blue. I made her pick it out, so she couldn't say that I picked the wrong shade.

That’s likely the cleverest thing you did during the build! :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the comments. I've tried to get my wife involved whenever a "critical" decision needs to be made, like the color. She also made the curtains and bedding covers.

After several camping trips, and a couple of thousand miles on the tear, I've realized that it's easier keeping the cooler in our van, rather than in the galley. I've also realized that more storage space is needed, so I started converting the space under the counter top that I had been carrying the cooler to drawers. I'm putting 3 in the center and 2 on the right side of the galley. The left side is where I'm putting the WFCO power converter. I'll post more pics when I get some taken.

Yeah, when we do have hookups it's nice to have power there. I used a GFCI and the outside outlets are protected as well.
I'm also working on cabinets and drawers under the counter in the galley. Will post more pics when I get some taken.
