[CCFD170]

4'x10' sheet of 304 #4 brushed stainless in 16G $236 or 18G $208.

Yeah kinda they have a minimum purchase which is a lot. So I just stock piled some for future builds.

Richie Curtis steel has .062 4x10 for $80.

 

[gadcustoms]

I think that's real close to what I paid. I used 062 on my side walls and roof and 040 on the curves, I liked the way the 040 looked 062 didn't want to conform as well as I had hoped.

I would like to find it anodized the same gray color as my h3t

 

[gadcustoms]

I think anodizing is a chemical process so as far as I know they only have the stuff I used which is satin anodized or a dark bronze anodized other then that I think you would have to paint it.

Sorry bro I was price quoting stainless steel for your galley not for the outside siding.

You could prolly use 20G if ur just covering wood surfaces. It would be lighter and cheaper. Here's a pic of my reference book I use with the weights of material.

Here's info on ur aluminum.

Alrighty!!! Git the floor cut into place for a grand total of 31.26 lol. I glued all the seams, so should be pretty solid.

Got the hatch cut out! Really glad i listened to the advice on it! Looks good!

And over all view

Soo i guess im going to figure where the galley will stop and end then frame the front.

Any updates? The suspence is killing me. lol

What an amazing build! I'm watching this very closely as I'm planning to start a similar build this summer. Full-custom, teardrop style, off road capable, and built around a queen sized mattress. It's going to be fairly wide, but i'm taking all the design cues from you!

Very nice work, sir. I envy your skills.

Silver,

I just looked at the thread again, been out of it for a few weeks. The trailer is really looking GOOOOOOOD!!!!

Having played with these and dragging mine to events, I have one comment that comes up on mine all the time, not so much negative, but suggesting that I should have done two doors. In reallity I decided about a week into staying in it, that it does need two doors. Two people with one acess is a pain in the rear. I am building all of mine with two doors, no side windows now.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks again guys!

Well it is snowing like the devil here. Headed to Fontana to get a new welding helmet, mine bit the big one this morning.

I think you will be happy with the extra door. I know my wife loves the second door, at my age I have those sudden potty stops at night. lol

Your doing great ont his trailer. Really looking forward to the galley.
