I think you will really be happy with the Monstaliner. Because I'm a freak about water damage, I used Rot Doctor to treat the bare plywood. However, many, many folks put the Monstaliner directly on the plywood. It is a pain (a major pain) to apply it in the heat, so I ould recommend doing it...

Regarding the galley door, although I thought I strapped and braced it adequately to keep it square while the glue and screws set, it shifted a bit so it is not quite square. I know this is not a piano, but dang it, I want it to be as close to piano-like as it can be. Further, when I made the...

They do look smaller once you hook them up to a tow vehicle. I love this thread! Keep building and posting pictures!

Thank you very much. It is not as perfect as I would like it to be, like the galley door, but I think I will have a good time in it. Here it is with the exterior almost completely finished. It is parked at my brother's house so I may sleep in it tonight. Just behind is a little creek, so I...

Thanks, Jess. I'm not quite done with carpeting, as I'm still working on the wheel wells. I finally read the instructions on the can of spray adhesive, so I'm slowing down the process and letting the adhesive "cure" a bit before I stick the carpet on, and letting the glue set up. The last...

Yesterday I took a fall while working on the trailer. The hitch caught a fold in my trousers while I was walking past it and pulled me off balance. So today I was slower due to some soreness. But milestones were reached regardless. The carpet was laid on the floor with double sided tape on...

Just freaking awesome! Wonderful job, and I am so glad you finally got to use it.

Beautiful photos and a very, very nice truck. I was wondering if the traffic police are attracted to it?

I emphatically agree. I just installed mine today and I was amazed at how much air that thing moves.

I had to move the rain gutters over the door up 1/2 inch because the doors would touch the very ends. But they are on now. Also the ceiling light and fan. I'm thrilled they work. The fan is a monster. I'm going to enjoy the fan a great deal. I cut the carpet to 2inches over...

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure it will be the same with the primed and painted wood. Of course, it may just pull the freaking paint off.

Thanks for the info. I had already bought some plush cut automotive carpet for this project when I read skees fan's post. I'm not a fan of shag carpet, primarily becasue it seems to attract litter and dust, then hold onto it like a magnet to iron filings. The first house I ever bought had...

I got over my laziness spurt and did a search in the Storage Solutions forum for carpet and glue (lots of carpet on plywood in that forum). It seems that 3M spray adhesive is the way to go. At least one user said he had had carpet stuck down with spray adhesive in his truck for years and it...

Thank you for the reply. I was wondering if the carpet is easy to pull off. Since it went into a Wagoneer, is it adhered to metal? Thank you again.

Finished the interior painting. I still need to put some MinWax Polywipe on the sides and scrape down some white paint that seeped under the Frog Tape. Regardless, the front, rear, and ceiling are done. At least until my wife decides I need to change the color. You will likely notice that...

Looks pretty skookum to me.

Great job. I sure had fun in one years ago. Your upgrades/mods are excellent.

Thanks, Jess. It lacks the level of perfection (precision?) I would prefer to see. It will ultimately be acceptable, it is certainly good enough, but if I ever do it again, I will certainly do some things differently. In terms of technique that is. The design and plan are very good. I just...

I laid another coat this morning and then it warmed up to about 87 before I could recoat it. I will lay another coat on in the morning. Meanwhile, I just fussed around with the side and front windows and their spacers, measured for cutting the carpet, fooling with the stove swing-out. I...
