Teardrop trailer construction 14

We have one side of the trailer all trimmed out and locked up. The Automotive finish has not been applied yet so you can see spots on the finish where we have been sanding and doing touch up. They will disappear when the final coat is applied.

This view shows the storage box on the front of the trailer where we will store the battery, ice box, and other stuff. Kent curved the lid. As you can see the vents have been installed and the patching of screw holes has begun.

Another view of the front box. We have been trying to find a place we can use this plastic hinge we purchased but it just doesn't work.

Here is a view of the inside lock after it was installed. We have both doors on and trimmed. We can lock up the trailer now.

Here is a close up of the door lock. you can see the rope molding detail on the side of the trailer.

Labor day provided an extra day to work on the trailer and we got quite a bit done. As you can see we got started on the box for the front of the trailer. it will be covered with Rhino liner to blend in with the top.

This is a front view of the box. The battery will go in the right section. There is enough room to stack two batteries if we decide to get another one. The center section will get the ice coolers for the air conditioning, and the left section will hold a propane bottle or other stuff we need to haul.

We cut in the stove and that required cutting into the sleeping compartment by about a quarter inch. This picture shows the removable cover.

This is how the oven and cooktop look set into the counter. It will be attached to sliders so you can pull it out for cooking.

Kent got one of the doors hung today. This is a view from the inside. We actually have the locking handle on the door but it was done after the picture shoot.

This is how the door looks from the outside. We haven't put the glass in the frame yet but will do that during the week.
