Teardrop trailer construction 11

We had a lot of fun this weekend working on the trailer. (Friday and Saturday) It may not show but we got a lot done. Not as much as we hoped but good stuff. First of all we ran the wiring for the side markers, side lights, and tail lights. This then made it possible to glue on the veneer siding. It really went on well. With that in place we received the fenders last week so we painted and installed them. It really gives the trailer a solid look to have them in place. The color of the siding and the accents will be like the inside of the sleeping area. Cinnamon sugar paneling black burnout trim. You can see on this picture that we have installed the shore inlet so that we can have 110 volt power in the trailer. Over the next few weeks I believe we will make a good showing on the outside and it is going to be good.

Our main objective this weekend was to get the wiring done, and we did. It was hecktic and we had to do trial and error but we figured it out. It was fun when we plugged it in and all the lights came on. Even funner when the lights running off the battery came on. We installed the heater and hooked it up and also installed the outlet where our DVD player will fit. It feels so good to have this done. We can now get on with the wood stuff that we understand.

This next picture shows the power converter installed in the galley. We wanted it readily accessable and it needs ventilation.

The tail lights are working but we are not ready to install the hatch quite yet.

I am so excited to see more progress, I am trying to be really patient, but it has almost been a month. It looks amazing by the way.
