Made great progress today!

What a great day I had. Got the whole frame painted, old deck back on, floor of the camper framed, insulated and the 1/2" plywood floor deck installed. Had to set the floor deck 3/4" inside the main deck because there is no room to attach the walls on the outside because the tires are so close.


Got one side cut to see how the profile is going to look. Rather happy with it. There is a problem though, I have to splice a small piece at the end of the wall. A little worried, but will deal with it when the time comes to make the hatch.



Ordered the converter, right door handle, rear galley handle, porch light and butyl tape for the windows. Have to get it from the states but still got a great deal even with the shipping. Converter is for AC/DC as well as a charger for the battery. Bounced back and forth about whether to do just AC - like your house plugs 110/120 volt or DC - off a battery which give me 12 volt lighting. If I go off grid, with the converter I will have enough juice for 7 days of lighting and even enough juice to run a coffee maker for a few days.

Friends are dropping off some cushion floor tomorrow left over from renovations they did. It is a perfect size for the floor. Thanks Brenda and Ed!!

Will see how far I get tomorrow?
