i removed 3/4" osb which weighs 80lbs per sheet to be replaced by 1/2" plywood which weighs 40lbs per sheet. yes, to save weight. the combined weight of the osb floors and walls is 500lbs, half of the weight of the entire trailer (980lbs) when done i will have shaved off 250lbs.
i'm towing with a jeep wrangler which has a tow capacity of 2,000lbs and 200lb tongue weight so every pound i save is a bonus

Copy that

new floor cut, fitted and the bottom side painted, should be dry enough to handle for installation this afternoon

Great idea to get that all sealed up and painted before you put it back down.

floor installed and top side painted. next job is to decide the locations of the 2 new windows

Nice work. Watching, this will be fun.

next step is to cut out the windows, i've decided the locations, made up the cut-out template, and now i'm waiting for a break in the weather, we've been getting a mixture of rain, snow and winds so hopefully that will ease up soon

Looks like a nice build; good luck!

windows are in

Nice work! they look great. Make sure to give them the old garden hose test before you button up the walls. Just a good test and easy fix now if any leak issues.

Nice job, Hoser!
