Ceiling and Inside cuboards



Front part of ceiling with knotty pine ,seam will be finished with moulding. Cuboards framed out with 3/4" x 2" pine, two outside shelf's for storage , centre for a 13" TV an small DVD player

Framing cuboards

Framing The Cuboards



Framed out the cuboards with 3/4" thick pine ripped to 2" wide and the back wall was framed with 2x2 pine. The cross braces were3/4 " pine ripped to 2"wide also , need them inastalled right away or your walls will not stay straight . Made a shelf above the counter for added space. One side of the cuboards is a single door , wide enough for a cooler OH yea while the back wall was just frame work I wired it for electricty in the gally and in the sleeping quarters . 1/2 " plywood for a counter top works well ,just need to cover it ,that comes later.

Installed the braces And front cuboards


Installed the roof braces then framed out the back wall

Front and Interior Walls


Cut the front sections and installed them .Covered the inside with kotty pine pkg pine ,worked great easy to work with

Insulating Sides



Insulated the sides for warmth and will do the roof when time comes

Framing the sides




Cut 3/4" pine boards into 1" wide strips and used them to fram out the sides . after framing I insulated the sides with 3/4 " styrafoam insulation, all so planed to do the roof when it was time. Once the framing was done stood the sides up and screwed them to the floor and frame .the bottom framing was a little heaver for fastening purposes .

Making The Sides



Had to glue two peices of plywood together because of the length . Cut biscuit holes joined ,glued andclamped together. Had to make clamps long enough . Used the trailer as a work table ,[worked great] . Marked out the shape and cut the pattern . Could have used an extra hand wouldn' of hurt HA !HA!

Teardrop trailer[weekender]




Started out being curious,found blue prints of the weekender teardrop trailer and went from there Had the trailer made 9'x5'cause the body of the trailer is a total of 10' ,with the over hang in the front .
