Well I better get to the point here. I was thinking I am basically going to have the hatch be a flat hatch like the original Grasshoppers were designed. No roof involved in the hatch. I was just wondering about your thoughts on the actual hatches construction.
I was thinking that I would just frame out the hatch as you would for a Benroy or others except it would be flat and no curve. Figured then cover it in 1/4 ply as this is what I will use for the roof outer skin.
As far as sealing the hatch would go I was thinking about just using T molding with weather seal that would lay against the body of the trailer and be tightened down when I would crank down on the hatch handle. OR I could build a lip inside the hatch and line this with weather seal to press against the hatch lid when it is closed.
I am new at this and so my ideas may be awkward at best and I would appreciate any help on this. If you have pictures of how you have done it or would do it that would be great.
Again I really appreciate all of the help I am receiving on this forum. You all are such great people.
