A Milestone Day

Today was definitely a milestone day.  To start, we added the sides to the party tent under which the trailer is being assembled in order to protect the trailer from rain.  Next, we leveled the trailer so that the basic construction is conducted from a position of level.

Next, we cemented the ell for the clearance light feed:

We will tap into the right rear tail light and connect to the clearance light feed, route it to the rear inside plastic sub-ducting, then feed it up into this fitting and then into the open end of the wye seen forward, and finally, up into a cavity inside the hatch.  From there the clearance light feed will go to the front and rear left and right side clearance lights.

The view below shows the trailer base ready for the deck:

We started affixing the deck plywood from the front:

Next we applied the center and the aft pieces.  Each piece was glued down and screwed to the 2x6 frame.  The pieces were joined with biscuits.

With the deck fully attached, the next steps are to fair the two sides to each other (to assure a common profile), trim the rear portions of the laminations to fit the trailer, prepare the galley partition, then affix one side, the galley partition, then the other side.

Stay tuned!
