Teardrop trailer construction 16

WE DID IT? We covered the top with Durabak truck liner. It was messy and we didn't do the most professional job but it looks pretty nice. We also dicovered it is pretty forgiving. We were able to cut off some bad spots and touch it up. Over all we are pretty happy with the results. We are going to hinge the front trunk next and weather strip it and put buckles to keep it closed. This will allow us to mount the battery permantly and hook it up.
Side view gives you a pretty good idea of how the trailer looks. Sorry about the mess at the shop. We had a storm that blew sawdust out of the bins and then rained on it.

Rear view shows the rear trunk all completed. We let the durabak dry over the weekend and then weather stripped the inside. We have a short list of things to complete but are close enough to get it licensed.
We pulled it the other day and it tracks very nicely. We are getting excited to go on a trip. Our timing is off though. Winter camping is not our best thing.
