Terry's TTT Garageable Standy Build modifications

[pete42]

Mr Terry
that is one fine looking trailer your skills are working for you.
I'm waiting to see the finished trailer.
thanks for sharing.

Shown below is a photo of nailers that have been epoxyed to the roof & to the side walls between the spars.



Shown below is a photo of the side curve template.
It was used to shape the nailers.
It is hard to see; but, there is a curve to the top of the long section.



Shown below is an edge view of the nailers.
The outer plywood skin will be epoxyed & nailed to these nailers.



The nailers at the front & back curved areas should be manufactured & installed tomorrow.

Shown below is a photo of the front curve nailers.
Both the front and back curve nailers are now installed.




Even though I still have the external roof skin to install, I am now going to change direction.
I will now concentrate on the inside of the trailer.
First up will be the front and back overhead cabinets.

Terry,

That's what I did too. Having the outer skin off makes it easy to put backing on the ceiling for lights, cabinets, etc.

Shown below is a photo of the front overhead cabinet face frame.
It has been installed.
The face frames are made of 3/4" x 1-1/2" red oak.
The face frame oak was joined together using a "Kreg" jig & epoxy.



Shown below is a photo of the rear overhead cabinet face frame.



Shown below is another view of the rear overhead cabinet face frame.



All of the cabinet door openings are the same size.
I still need to sand & paint the oak with clear polyurethane.
Next, I will install the overhead cabinet bottoms.
It will be made from 1/4" red oak plywood.
I will do the doors after I finish all cabinet face frames.
I figure I will do 12 cabinet doors.

Nice start on the cabinetry. You've got an awesome build going.

Shown below is a photo of the start of the rear bed platform construction.
Notice the 1/2" x 2" slots near the bottom of each verticle 3/4" x 1-1/2".
These will be used for running wiring.
Everything has been screwed & epoxyed.



Shown below is a photo of the rear bed platform construction with horizontal runners installed.
The side runners are 2" x 3/4".
The back runner is 1-1/2" x 3/4".



1-1/4" x 5/8" will be installed on top of the side runners later.
6" x 5/8" plywood will be installed on top of the back runner later.

I will install a center wall from the back to the front of the bed platform.
I will install two 5/8" x 38" x 64" sheets of plywood using two piano hinges attached to the 6" plywood at the back of trailer.
This will allow me to access under the bed.

Shown below is a photo of perimeter framing for the left side front bench.
The construction is similar to rear bed platform framing.
The benches will each be 26" deep x 48" wide x 12" high.
A 4" wide x 5/8" piece of plywood will be placed at the back of the benches.
A 22" wide 5/8" plywood will be attached to the 4" plywood with a piano hinge.
This will allow for opening the 22" plywood for access under the benches.
On top of the benches will be 4" foam cusions.
Between the benches will be a 24" wide table that will fold down to make a bed platform.
The cusions will be used to make a mattress.

Shown below is a photo of the middle overhead cabinet.
The face frame is oak.
It is above where the middle cabinet will be.
It is on the left side of the trailer opposite the entrance door.
I still have to install the 1/4" oak plywood on the sides & the bottom.
As you can see, I have a lot of repainting to do.
The adjustable metal poll is used to hold the cabinet in place while the epoxy cures.
I also used screws to attach the cabinet.
Since I did not originally plan on having this cabinet, I had a lot of sanding to do to remove paint for the installation.
Notice, the cabinet follows the interior ceiling line.

Shown below is a photo of the small cabinet next to the door.
It is also next to what will be the bed.
1/8" oak plywood still needs to be installed on the left side next to the door.
A 1/2" plywood top & plastic laminate will also be installed.



Shown below is a photo of the framing for the two bench seats.
1/4" plywood still has to be installed on front and sides.
1/2" baltic birch plywood will be used for the tops.



Shown below is a photo of the right side bench seat.



Shown below is a photo of the left side bench seat.
The larger opening is where the Converter will be installed.



Shown below is partial framing for the large cabinet.
This cabinet will hold the Norcold 12 DCV refrigerator, & the porta Potty.

Looks like you've got about 400 lbs in bolts and screws alone.
Obviously you don't have a weight limit.

Looking really nice, definitely not coming apart any time soon.

Right, I was thinking the same thing!

But really it is a beautiful trailer.

I do have quite a few screws and bolts.
I certainly hope it is not 400 pounds.

Shown below is a photo of the bench seats.
They measure 48" W x 12" H x 26" D.
A piano hinge will be installed between the back 4" and the front 22" plywood top.
This will allow easy access to the storage area.



Shown below is a photo of the left side bench seat.
The cut out area is where the converter will be installed.
