Odds and ends

The windows need to have a curve, so lexan is in order. Regular plexi may break when you drill hole in it. First I marked in pencil the hole locations evenly around the opening. They are very visible so neatness counts. Next comes a two person job, one holds the glass from the inside (minding where the other person is drilling), and puts a nut and washer on the machine screws as they appear. the other person drills and puts the machine screws through. After all the fasteners are in loosen and apply a sealer, then retighten the fasteners.



I insulated the floor and covered with 3/8" ply. This may sound thin, but nobody walks on the floor, plus it is covered with a mattress. Note concrete gravity clamp to hold floor down while the glue dried.









In the back I found room for the spare and a tyre iron. The stabilizer jacks will lift the tyre off the ground no problems. The tyre liked to flip out of this strap, so a redesign is in order.










Here is my trailer in northern Alabama last December. Note no snow. Florida here I come.
