Trailer goodies

A trailer full of trailer goodies.

Siding, one piece roof, "L" edge moulding.
Actually a place 30 miles from me.
Great price and nice folks to deal with.

Cabinet design

This was a design as I go part of the project.
No stove but we did want a microwave and sink.







Other side is refrigerator and AC 




NO
That is NOT a window AC unit.
It is a Thru-the wall unit....ALL air move out of the back...there are NO side air vents..PLUS there is no drain. It uses the water help cool the condenser.

If by chance it does drain or leak a bit of water.
I sealed and coated the shelf and built a slight back slope.....and added a drain tube and hose in corner that will drain to ground.

Replicated the original Scotty cabinet over the sink.
I liked the design of it.

Walls ready

Ready for the wall to go on.
Glue and some weight add a few brads every now and then.



Using a 1/4" flush trim router bit to cut plywood to shape of finish wall.



Coated the edges with the bed liner so there will not ever be any water damage.



Pretty sure I should have some cabinets in first but I haven't finished the design yet,,,,,and I have an A-frame hoist to hold them in place.

Wheel wells

After a previous tire blow out and axle spring failure my wheel wells were not in very good shape so I thought I would have a local sheet metal shop make me some new ones.
WELL......at east that is what I thought....I got an estimate of OVER $400 for the 2.....NOPE.
I'll do it myself

Floor started

Time for the floor to go back together.
I went with 3/4" Huber Blue Plus
Same product as Advantech but not quite as expensive.





Wanted to get a good coating on the floor.
So I went with truck bed liner.
All types can be used but since I am frugal....Harbor Freight here I come.
