Hi new to forum y'all have too many designs too hard to pick just one. But the one i want to start with is the RIMPLE. But where in middle georgia do i get 1/8 plywood? Can i mail order 2 or 3 sheets anybody in atlanta sell it? Any help or ideas would be appreciated. robert

Robert,

Welcome, I would think any lumber yard would have 1/8" plywood in stock or available.

It's not strong enough to support itself in shipping.

What is a RIMPLE design, I'm not familiar with that design?

A rimple is one of Andrew's creations.

Personally I would make the back radius larger, so that it looks more like a Benroy!!!

Believe it or not, I'm having problems finding 1/8th inch plywood here in Kentucky also. Checked Lowes, 84 and HD with no luck so far...

If you're in Macon area you can try Leeds building supply. You could also contact a couple of the local cabinet makers & inquire as to where they obtain their product from.

I had a really hard time finding 1/8 plywood to. I ended up using paneling (the real stuff, not the kind made out of cardboard) and I am really happy with it.

I was looking at yours again this past weekend Darryl. I think I will go with a similar paneling in mine. I have to add again, darn nice TD. It was one of the first I ran across the night I began my TD research a while back when you were still building. I really like how you did your AC. Has it proven to work well this summer?

After I made the last changes to it, it works very well. I can't see camping in the south with out one.

engled,

Know what you mean about camping in the South during the summer without A/C.

This is my first post and just got interested in the TD. Could you make a hatch, say in the front over the tongue and slid the entire A/C unit into your TD, thus avoiding the duct work? Of course you would need to design the interior for this.

Did you have a problems with condensation on the duct work inside your TD?

BTW, your TD really looks first class!!!

Thanks for your response,

Eagle

Yes you could mount it on the tongue but as you read, I had my reasons for not doing it. Take a look at Kuffel Creek's page on A/Cs it might give you some ideas.

Yes, condensation runs off of the duct work like there is no tomorrow.
