The walls are covered with a fiberglass wall board found at both big name stores. it is a little pricy and to be honest when it gets real hot inside trailer i still smells a bit like the glue not too bad but i do have a lot of glue being that i glued the vct tile as well. if you use it use a fine tooth saw blade for laminate and wear eye protection

What are the black bars things that you used to hold up the bed. I'm new too.

Are you referring to the E-Track on the walls and the wood end sockets for dimensional lumber (aka: 2x4)?

where did you get those two aluminum pieces?
I've been looking for something similiar and found a plastic awning rail on ebay but it's pricey for what it is.

[kickintail]

one is just the rain gutter already on the trailer the one with the tarp is awning rail at local rv shop $18 for 12ft with a 1/4 in steel rods to go inside

Kickintail:
Try a piece of 1/4 nylon rope instead of the metal rod to hold your awning into the aluminum awning rail.
If you find the right sized rope, you can fold your awning over the rope and slide it into the aluminum track and not have to haul the metal rod.

[Road Doggie]

Great Pictures , nice build. I am new to this first build so Im mgetting a lot of great tips..........what did you insulate your walls with?

[roadinspector]

I've used the rope several times. It works great.

Lengths of TV cable work great inside RV rail tracks with a tarp too. Sturdier adn easier to get into the track and work with the tarp inside the rail I think. Your mileage may vary.
