begining of tail

Beyond where the spars are the wall will try to flatten out at the bottom, so braces are added. A cross piece is added to hold this thing square.












Determine how long the cabin floor needs to be, and install bracing for the foot wall. The top of the wall is a support for the counter top in the galley. The ply you see is 1/2" that the battery sits on.











Here I put a vertical support that ties the cabin foor to the galley floor. The frame work for the floor is also being worked on. The larger openings are soon to be needed for access, but will be framed later.











The top of the hatch is made from the other half of the oak board, and a triangular piece of 1/2" ply. The Hurricane hinge is from http://www.lilbear.teardrops.net/parts.html#hinge
You do not need a 4' one so call or e-mail, mine is about 2'. The picture is of it completely open. When putting this together allow for skin thickness when installing the hinge (I used scrap pieces for spacers). I used 1/4" ply for the main roof (1/8" ply should do if the trailer never sees snow).
