Your project involves a lot more work than mine. My hat is off to you for such a gutsy build.

I like those kind of windows. They let a lot of air in and are good in the rain.

What kind of an interior layout do you have planned?

by **xddorox** » Sun May 08, 2011 10:11 pm

Simple shelf with two cupboards on each end with the middle open for DVD player and radio. I'm varnishing the interior with polyurethane.

People are watching? :shock:

What are your overall dimensions? Looks like you have a pretty roomy cabin.

It's looking good! What are you going to skin the inside with? Painting, or clear coat of some kind?

by **xddorox** » Mon May 09, 2011 4:23 pm

The interior is 5 X 6 and it will be covered with a polyurethane varnish. I also got a dome light with separate reading lights off a Chevy Astro at the scrap yard for it.

Got to work on the trailer all day today. I managed to finish the back so now the outside body is one flush unit. All that is missing is the bottom skirt. I also managed to skin the interior of the cabin with the help of my Dad.

Looks really nice and I especially like the fact that you are (like me) getting used elements from alternative sources to retrofit your trailer. I have to appreciate another thrifty soul

No work these past few days, too much rain going non-stop. That trailer is supposed to be comfy for sleeping. I hope so because it sure is a pain to work inside it. My body aches all over!

Looking Good!

Your crank out windows look like mine! So far their keepin the rain out nicely lol.

Here's what you get for putting your Son through electromechanics school, your very own free electrician. All the wiring was done today thanks to the great work of my kiddo.

Finished the inside trim in the cabin.

and applied the first coat of varnish (polyurethane)

This is the result. Not great but considering I have never done this type of work before, I'm pretty pleased with myself.
