Maybe some 1 inch foam at least. That's not too costly.

Yeah that is true, It can be found around old sheds and stuff, dirt cheap.

:D 1 inch foam in roof and front, top fully sheeted. Cabin needs filling, sanding and painting. Then Reinstall all hardware and windows and all done but for the galley hatch. I'm happy. Still at $140.00 totall outlay. May spring for interior light and small fan.

:lol: ALL BUILDING DONE !!!! Filling and sanding about half done. Should get first coat of paint Monday weather permittting. Note; This is the best fitting hatch I've done yet. #4 should fit like a glove. Oops! Did I say four. Yep ;My wide body Tourer style. Start in January. And don't tell the wife.

Sunday afternoon and two coats of white semigloss applied. Start reassembly on Monday. Only have three days to finish because I need Thursday to cook chili for potluck and get loaded for the Myrtle Beach gathering.

Well Alan,

Get well soon, and maybe while you're waiting, get some photos developed and posted on the web??? Just an idea!

Mike...
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...

Santa brought me a digital camera so as soon as the ice melts off I'll get some picture of it. Still haven't been able to finish it yet but I have bought an interior light and better door handle. Photos in next day or so.
