Here I have the rear of the trailer roughly framed and attached. I have one of the side frames C clamped on to check fit and placement of blocking.

Window is put in place for the moment to check fit. I obtained the windows from a used truck cap for the total price of $35.

Nice of you to say Cliff. Ofcourse the wall is not all framed out yet. I am working now on placing diaganals in the wall. When I am done with that I am going to copy the parts cut and make the other wall frame and then begin skinning them. It is getting kind of exciting now because this is the point where it starts looking like an actual interior space.

I have skinned the inside of one side wall and the back wall. I have also cut the material to do the frame of the other sidewall. My skinned wall went up to locate some blocking for the dinette seating.

If you noticed in the photos I have a pretty wide rear entry door. Part of my plan is to make the "fridge cabinet" bolted to cleats on the floor and thus removable. I would be doing this because I want to have the option of rolling my motorcycle into the trailer. The door is wide enough to accept the bike and if the fridge cabinet is removed there would be enough roome to roll it in. I would have a removable wheel chock between the dinette seats.

Plan view of trailer in "Cargo Mode". Fridge cabinet and small dinette seat removed to allow motorcycle to be loaded inside.

The second sidwall is framed and both side walls are insulated.

Its starting to look like an interior space. Pardon the debris. I am running out of space in the garage. Also it is 90 freaking 3 degrees here today. I am too dehydrated and tired to make a clean photo.

built the panel that forms the nose of my mini land vessel. Designed to cut through the windstream. This panel was crucial to get right as the others will be easier to measure and make if this "keystone" is in place and correct.

Hope to finish the shell this weekend. Here is what I have so far. This is only c clamped in place but it strengthened up the trailer a lot. Sorry for the cut off top photos.
