Today I put a coat of wax on the now green trailer. I called the factory and ordered 2 30"x15" windows, 2 rear stabilizer jacks, roof rack, fantastic fan, and a 4" lift spacer kit. Then, I went over to Lowe'st and bought the parts for the bed and some vinyl for the floor. I let Willa pick out the tile. I was leaning towards some of the good ol' linoleum with the specs in it, but she went for some stick-on vinyl that is imitation terrazo. It looks fine, and I am happy to keep her interested in this project.
Of course, I HAD to get a new scroll saw, since my old one caughed up carbon the last time I used it, and it was too cheap to bother repairing it. See, that vinyl is already paying off.
I came home and measured out the centerline of the floor*, then started laying down the vinyl. I got all the full pieces laid, and it is looking pretty good. I hope to get the partials cut and laid tomorrow morning, then start with the bed. My design is to make the bed convert to a couch so we can have a lot of room to move around during the day. Another requirement is that the bed has to be quickly removable, so when I need to haul something in the trailer I can pull it out.
Once the floor is in, I'll post some pics. Hopefully, I'll have the bed design built up and tested out tomorrow so I can verify the design, then post the plans and pics soon.
Later,
Gil
* Working on a cargo trailer is great! There was less than 1/16" difference in the floor width from the back door to the front, where the V starts to taper. I wish houses had steel frames!!!
