Vinyl Flooring

    I got the new vinyl floor installed over the weekend with the help of Tony Otis. The wiring is now roughed in too. Now it is time to insulate!

Framing Completed

    I have completed re-building the interior framing for the rear of the trailer. I also had to repair a portion of the left front as well. Time to get the wiring roughed in!

Rear

Rather than try to duplicate the intricate original framing, I elected to use 3/4" OSB.

The OSB plywood will be much stronger and self insulating.

Front corner repair. Note original framing method.

Wheels and Tires

    After finishing up the spare, I moved on to the other wheels. With these now done, its time to head back inside and complete the new framing.

Was lucky to have made it 200 miles on these!

The Original Spare

    I took a break from woodworking and cleaned up the original spare tire and wheel which had never been used. I then bought a new bracket and mounted it on the tongue.

New Sub Floor

3/4" pressure treated plywood. That should be good for the next 56 years!
