6 x 12 Pace American. Question on A/C answered.

[StandUpGuy]

Well, it's official. I will not be installing a shower this year. It just got too complicated and I want to keep things simple. So I am going to finish up the aft end as nicely as possible for the upcoming Airventure.

But you have all of the parts!!! Will you be adding it later?

[Jeffmo63]

Hey Standupguy. Yes, I will either put it in my current build or the next one. I just ran out of time, that's all. Thanks for asking.

The overhead painted in Gypsum White. I hope the light color will reflect the light from the lamps. Compare to July 21, 2010.

Jeff,

The white ceiling is a great improvement. You have a nice and bright interior. And it is quite spacious, too. I can't wait to see how it looks with the metal filler strips you made.

Take care,
Tom

Tom, here is how the corners came out. The photo made them look dark; they are lighter brown. I am very pleased. All that is left for now is to fit the trim pieces where the panels meet.

Well, here is the sleeping area. I'm leaving for Airventure in less than 24 hours.

Here is the front counter going in. I used 5/8 smooth ply and a nice 1 x 4 board for the face. 12 volt reefer below. Sanding, priming and painting next.

I hope you enjoyed the show.
painting the screw heads we did the same on our planes must be a pilot thing.

Jeffmo63, Howdy;

I'm still in the planning phase and scouring the website for builds
similur to what I intend to build.
Like what you've done with your Pace... One question I have deals with your A/C.
What do you do with the drippins that run out the back end? And do you have some
sort of grate or grill installed so you can operate it with the ramp in the up position?
Also, do you have any more up dates to this build...
Thanks for your thought and ideas.

Hi Hank, sorry about the late reply. Your concerns about the AC leakage are right on. I took the simple approach and put a plastic box under the AC to catch the drips which are really not that much. The AC sure helped in the afternoon Oshkosh summer. I used a Honda EU 2000 for power. As far as the back ramp goes I did not install a grill in it because I wanted to maintain the structural integrity of the ramp. I just leave it down when operating the AC. There are no updates to this build at this time as I bought a Jayco 22FB for trips up to Oshkosh but I am not done with Pace. Watch for more in the Spring.
