The top panel is cut down so I am gluing the two side pieces to veneer and will match to the roof when they go on. Well its off to the cabin for a week or so, will post when I am back.
center now in, matched to the right side, the left side is a lighter shade, this will work in the cupboard for light and be hidden by the overhead cupboard for a mismatch.
The center board was 1/4" and outsides were 1/8" so I put up and screwed a full width 1/8" panel then did both the sides, which were creaking and poping.I have the bottoms tight and pushed the tops as far as I dare, put a screw in to hold and will let them sit a week to get the...
Done for the night, insulation in Reflective barrier and vapor barrier, will tuck tape all the seams. Hopefully the panels will start tomorrow, top was 1/4 sides 1/8" will use two 1/8" panels on top to keep the wood the same.
Wiring is roughed in all new 12 volt and pulled the breaker, installed a junction box in its place and will mount the breaker down below. doubled the stringers down the top side where the trim goes, this will stiffen the roof remove the sag and give me something for the overhead cabinets to...

Hated to cut a hole in the original vent, but, worse putting a hole in the camper. Solar powered Vent runs by sun and charges a battery for night use, either sucks or blows and a light too

The Camper took two gallons of paint to do had to buy a third to do this, the door was completely rebuild, all skins off new wood, new aluminum side and bottom, Marine texed all the holes in the front,painted. Last piece for the outside.
The awning is great, that is what I would like to do for the rear and sides, nice retro look. Funny about the screen door can't decide on how to make a double retractable one.
Oak right..... for anyone doing this I used Oak, pl premium and sealed with 3m. also both sides have a 6* bevel on the insides, smart idea. I have done the outside but ran out of day light re fastened with #6 stainless screws ans sealed with the 3m.
Soooo, as the weather changes the winds pickup, gusting to 29 kmph today and after the first coat was put on and starting a second coat we had a big hatch of small flying ants, some now find my camper a permanent resting place. 3 coats and 2 gallons of paint.... ran out of paint and still have...
