the beginning of the third attempt at a hatch that I am happy with.

The other two were turned into a fort for Ian. He played in there all day long.

Gluing up the third hatch, It fits perfect!

skinned and trimmed and almost ready

just a side shot before the lights were installed

Lights installed and wired, of course they all work

another view with the lights on and the door finished

Solar panel charge controller installed and almost ready to send power to the battery and or stereo, TV, interior lights or anything else

the door.

 

 

So, it's coming right along and I think it is looking pretty good but I have decided to reinforce the walls to the trailer with some angle iron just in case. I really don't want anything bad to happen especially 1000 miles from home.

Received some very cool hubcaps. I think they look more period correct than the white spoked wheels under these stainless beauties

Got some new 40W flexible solar panels in the mail yesterday, I'm not sure how to adhere them to the roof and I don't know that I want to drill a hole in the roof for the wiring. Also what if someone wants them so badly that they tear up my trailer?

Interior all clear coated and some lighting installed, now for the cabinet hardware and some flooring.
