Not so good After applying the second coat of Kilz yesterday, I brushed gel coat on the ceiling. I couldn't keep a wet edge, and so it did not turn out well. So I will recoat it tomorrow morning with a Rustoleum in gloss white.

Looking awesome!

Wow! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

It is 120 watts from Overlandsolar.com. It is far beyond my current needs, but since it is portable I can take it to my next iteration of trailer/vehicle. Using the Anderson Power Pole connectors allows me to simply unhook the vehicle/trailer power cable and attach the solar panels to the trailer.

Today the weather cooperated Today we finally have weather with temps above 60 degrees (humidity was about 35%). In the morning I masked the interior because I knew with the tight spaces I would not be able to cut in very easily, much less do it well. Then I got one coat of Kilz down. Of...

Not much to show. I don't have much to show for today's efforts. I started out by hooking up the solar panels even though it was a cloudy day. Then I spent a few hours cutting some spacers for the side windows. After looking at the job I had done, I wasn't satisfied and so I will try again...

Automotive Fabric Source I am using some automotive carpet from this source for the floor of my teardrop. They have several categories of automotive fabrics that you may find useful. I am sure/positive/certain there are other sources as well! Happy shopping!

Small steps Cut out the holes for the front window and roof fan. Of course the front window hole needed trimming a bit, but now the window fits in the hole. I will make the spacers for the windows tomorrow while the interior paint is drying. The galley is not quite square. It was square...

I am enjoying this build very much. Straight forward progress! Are you going to lay in some insulation? And what will be the outer coating? Great work!

Kind of rainy today I thought the interior would be ready for some coatings today, but it was still damp. I have a light and a fan inside now hoping it will improve significantly overnight. Meanwhile, I worked on the galley hatch. The pieces are all cut but I want it to be warmer before I...

. . . when a plan comes together. So you don't have to scroll up, here is the before: I prepare to apply RMR-86. After application of the RMR-86 followed by the application of the "botanical" odor eliminator. The mold remover worked just as advertised. The whole process from start...

Inspection and Registration Yesterday we, the trailer and I took a drive in the rain to the Washington State Patrol in Port Angeles for inspection and registration. I had to tape up the seams where the t-moulding has not been installed. During the drive, I had plastic over the windows too...

I put in a solid 12 hours yesterday trying to get ready to take the trailer to the NW Overland Rally today. That is not going to happen. The best I can hope for is tomorrow. In the "good news" department all the electrical for the running gear went in and works very well. All of the cabin...

Mold. In the continuing saga of the not-yet-received RMR-86, United Parcel Service still has not delivered. Hmmm. 2 Day Air is now in its 4th day. This is starting to be like the time I shipped a motorcycle battery to Kyrgyzstan via DHL and it went to every DHL hub in Europe at least...

Building a trailer is a great teaching experience in how little one can actually control in their life. I ordered the mold remediation product with expedited delivery for yesterday. And yesterday I started searching for a full face respirator to wear while applying it in the confines of a...

Arrived back in Poulsbo to finish the trailer today. When I arrived at the site where I left it, I was met with some baaaaad news: mold. Every surface except that covered by Monstaliner has mold at least on the surface. That includes all the interior surfaces covered with Varathane and the...

Thank you. I'm leaving June 3 to get it finished. I plan to take it to the NW Overland Rally in Plain, WA on June 15 (I've scheduled its licensing inspection for that morning in Port Angeles). I have a lot of work to do on it in a very short time.

I like any trailer pulled by a Mini.

Nope, that makes it too easy.

Audio output for warning, like Kit! I'm not sure what role the passive sensors play in your security scheme. Is the GPS for tracking the stolen/moved vehicle? Likewise the temp sensors -- too hot/cold?
