I got my fender wells finished and started hooking up lighting, I'm still trying to figure out how I want to build my cabinets. I want to make sure I incorporate all the things I want into them and make them look nice at the same time.

Tonight I got my flooring installed, it went pretty smoothly and i'm happy with how it turned out. I still have to cover the fender wells but it got dark on me, I should have them done tomorrow This is the laminate flooring I used, it has a slightly grey tone to it in person and fit...

So since the last time I posted I have finished paneling the interior and gotten some of my trim installed where the interior panels butt together. Tonight I started painting and got two good coats on everything, I went with a light grey that's pretty much an exact match to the light grey...

I'm pretty sure I used .109 thick steel tubing for the walls.

I bought them from Vintage Technologies, they were kind of pricy but very nice quality. I shopped around a bunch and didn't find them cheaper from any other company.

The past few days I have been working on putting my paneling in the interior and it has been going pretty well. I will add trim to the seams to clean them up.

Started cleaning up my wiring mess and getting it run to my fuse block. will add a little more wire loom to clean up how it looks a little more. I also started putting in my paneling on the interior. I haven't decided yet if I will put my stainless steel rivets in after I paint my paneling...

I have no idea how the shop I work at came up with the idea to use it, but they have been using it successfully for years now.

What we use when we anneal aluminum isnt really a temp. crayon, it is just a marking crayon. This is the exact one I used and the only temperatures on it are the minimum and maximum temperatures it can be used in.

Not much work that has been done lately is picture worthy, I have been running wiring and trying to make sure I don't forget anything. I have been asking around and getting suggestions from others on what they wish they would have put in their builds and I have enjoyed seeing what everyone else...

Yes I used a paint crayon similar to this yellow one. You mark your aluminum and then heat it with a rosebud torch head until it starts to turn white and then to brown. Once it changes color your aluminum is annealed enough to work it. We use this same method to soften aluminum when we press...

I annealed it with a torch to soften it first, it bent pretty easy but tried to twist when I made the sharper curves. I just took a pair of vice grips and twisted it the opposite direction to halfway straighten it, then beat it flat against my frame with a deadblow mallet. it is 1/8" thick with...

Started getting ready to run wiring, tonight I cut channels in my foam insulation for the wires to run through behind my paneling. Using a soldering iron with a piece of copper wire bent into a U shape the size I wanted for my channels.

Got the rear hatch trim painted and installed Got all of the interior insulated Next step is running wiring for all of my electrical. Does anybody have anything they would recommend that they wish they would have put in their build? This is what I have planned so far Porch lights Interior...

Thanks, there is definitely a learning curve with this kind of work. If I built another I feel like it would be a lot nicer. I'm already considering building another.

Got my trim bent to shape for the back hatch. Just needs to be painted and riveted in place. Working on the latch mechanism for the hatch.

Got my trim reinstalled tonight, I think it turned out decent.

Pulled the Driver side trim off to prep and paint it. Got a few good coats of paint on and it will get reinstalled tomorrow most likely.

Finally an update So with school and work I got busy and kind of lost my motivation to work on my trailer, I finally started working on it again and i'm making decent progress. I figured out how I wanted to run my wiring from my tongue box into the trailer. Heated and bent a piece of pvc to...

I have tent camped down into the twenties, and it wasn't too bad if you dress accordingly. Your trailer is way better insulated than a tent is, as long as you are dry (not sweating) you shouldn't have any issues with getting too cold.
