Inside Work Continues

The inside is looking good. The closet is installed and the trim is on.
We fabricated the closet doors from leftover flooring.


The queen bed frame and padded headboard are set.
The two wall lights are 12 volt LED and will provide good light for reading.
The nightstand to the right of the bed has a top made of walnut and has myrtlewood trim.


The openings under the bed will be covered with flip up doors that match the walls.


A closer look at the padded headboard and LED reading lights.


Ceiling lights are 12 volt LED. Walnut bases were designed and made in our woodshop.


Inside the closet.

The Wiring Begins

The converter is installed. This will distribute 110 volt, convert 110 to 12 volt
for interior lights and will charge the battery when plugged in to shore power.
This trailer in it's orginal form did not come with a converter or battery.
  

This is the back of the converter. All wires will lead to this point.
The AGM sealed battery will be mounted near here.


The 110 volt wiring runs inside the framing.

Window Trim and Bed Frame

Aluminum window trim is wire-brush polished and installed.  We
spent hours trying to figure out if we wanted to wire brush or high polish
the aluminum.  Turns out we love the brushed look.








Just starting on the bed frame.




Curbing Goes On


The curbing is on the outside and the windows on the front and back are
framed in.  We are in the process of wire wheel polishing the window
trim for the interior and formalizing a game plan for what to tackle next.

Flooring Installed

The flooring has been installed. We chose bamboo flooring
in the "living" area and vinyl flooring underneath the area
where the bed frame will be built. 




Outside Framing



Insulation has been added to the sides.

Bare Bones


The sides are off and the rot has been replaced.
It is time to start the fun part.



The first piece of the interior paneling goes on.
Building from the inside out, just as they did with the original.


Below is a look from the inside of the trailer.
We are using pre-finished cherry paneling.  So far so good.
*This is the curve in the front of the trailer. We tore in out the day after
I posted this. We decided we needed to do both interior walls before
the front and back curve.*


The inside walls are in and we started on the back curved panel. Tomorrow
we will tackle the front curve (again).
