Savary Island

Took a break from the trailer work today and went to Savary Island. Beautiful day out on the beach, nice for swimming, and we were there early enough to get this driftwood shelter to use for shade.

RV Trailer 7

Started adding the rigid foam insulation on the roof, two layers of 1/2", with wood added along the edge between the cross pieces. The photo below shows the edge piece with some temporary cross pieces screwed on to hold the rigid foam in place on the curve until we get the outside sheathing on.

 From the front with just one layer of foam insulation and not held down yet.

 Also started preparing the inside back storage area for priming and painting. The bed platform is pulled out of the way to make this step easier.

RV Trailer 6

The inner layer for the roof installed with cross pieces to provide support. Plan to use two layers of 1/2" rigid foam which should bend nicely to follow the curve of the roof.

© Peter Mitchell
Used these scraps to push up on the 1/8" plywood under each cross piece while the glue dried. Actually glued the first couple but then changed to use epoxy.

© Peter Mitchell
We have build out the front. This shows the inner layer of 1/8" plywood tacked down.

This is the inside of the front.

This is the back passenger side storage compartment where we will put the cooler style fridge, showing the tray on sliders.
