Richard if your referring to the 1x2 on the very top of the frame it is in place to bolt the roof rack to. Prior to the skin installation all mounting points must be established.

I only have a round die, the best way is to go with a square but I gave the round die a shot and it worked no problem. The round tubing is 1 1/4 OSD, pretty strong yet lighter than the 1 1/2 OSD tubing.

Sorry for the long reply we headed out to URE13 this weekend.
The cabinets are screwed from the outside walls into the cabinets. This is one of the reasons the skin will be the last to get installed. They are actually built in place, I found it easier to just build verses try to match up multiple cabinets to span the 62 inches.
Hope this helps.

We are hoping for a debut in Jan but it will be at the Uwharrie Safari for you to check out in person.

It's been a very productive week. The sleeping cabin is complete, the only thing it needs now is the mattress.
On to the kitchen. This is where the power box is, the batteries, the refrigerator, the propane, stove and the water tank. Water will be gravity fed under the counter top on the back right behind the propane tank. The two batteries are going behind the refrigerator.
It's exciting to see this come together.

Where did you purchase your star gazer window and what are the approximate dimensions? I want to install one on a build I am currently working on and I would like to install it on a 2ft rad. curve on the front of the trailer. I'm not sure if the curve presents a big problem.
BTW - nice looking build so far!

I bought the doors, fan, hinge and star gazer window from http://teardroptrailerparts.com/ . The window dimensions are 9" by 44" and 2 3/16 width. We had to thicken the area where the window was going to make it fit right. You can call them, Frank is the owner he will help you out with any questions, he built over 100 teardrops and is very knowledgably. Hope this helps you out.

A few updates, the kitchen is almost finished now. The wall between the counter and cabinets is installed.
The top cabinets now have doors and are complete.
The slides for the frig and the stove are complete.
The bottle opener just came in.
PS the top picture is not a microwave, it's the power panel and cut off switches.

The kitchen is now finished, the slide outs are done and the cabinets in the back are complete.
A drawer was in stalled above the fridge.
The only thing left to do is skin the outside, put in the doors, window and fan then paint it. Picking up the metal today.
