Teardrop trailer construction 8

We glued and screwed the skin on the outside of the hatch. It went on pretty well and then we filled the screw holes and little cracks in the wood with bondo. When it is all sanded we will re-install it to make sure it all still fits.
We are going to cover the lid and roof with Rhino liner. It is rubbery so it will flex with the trailer as well as providing a completely waterproof roof.

This picture shows how the lid looks when we temporarily installed it to the trailer



This shows the back with the handle and tail lights temporarily
installed.




While I was working on the hatch Kent began the work on the round windows. You can see the frame he milled for the outside of the window in this picture.


We also screwed in the shelf in the sleeping compartment today. The lights fit in the little round disks on the bottom. This will be handy to put keys, wallets, and such on when retiring. The lights are swivel lights and may be installed later today.
