The whole outside of the trailer was covered with resin and we do have a coat of paint on the roof but not the walls yet.

No pics today
We got the rest of the insulation installed and some of the inside skin installed and frames around the outside of the windows.

The weather eased up today so I got a little more done. All the insulation is glued on walls and most of the inside ply is up.



We decided to use the 4mm laun instead of paneling the finial finish on the inside will have to be a surprise.


you can see the off set in the back wall where the bracing for the AC is.


In about an hour tomorrow should have the inside walls covered.

I went outside tonight to put all my tools up after working on the camper,
I looked at it walked back in the house grabbed a candle and back to the camper I went.
There is no seal on the door yet , I hoped inside lit the candle and sat back looking around. The wind here is blowing hard but I was amazed at how the one candle lit up the inside and how quite the camper was you couldn't hear the wind. I bet you will be able to hang meat in here with the 5000 btu ac on l;ow.
If I had the mattress in here think I would have taken a nap.

Looing good - Yes you can with the A/C. it get really cool in the summer. On our last trip on thanksgiving, we didn't need a heater due to heat iour bodies produced in the 40's dergree weather. We forgot to bring a heater to LCGII, and in a pinch useda hair dryer for a heater to break the chill. A well insulated camper will perform nicely.

Mornin';
...yea come on River Rat, your leaving us hangin' (although it sounds like your weather hasn't been too good)

[Tx River Rat]

Weather has been bad and this build is taking place outside so it is slow right now.
We finished the bed framing and have windows caulked and sealed but thats about it for now nothing exciting to take a pick of.
We have been laying out the shelves in the front and decided to go with the camp chef stove and ovencombo

This inquiring mind would certainly appreciate an update on the build progress.

I'm thinking a few additional pictures might tide me over.

Sorry folks but it is going to be next week before we start up on the coyote again.

Well it is back to work time.
If you have been following this thread you know the coyote is being built for my son in law. Through the holidays we let it sit idle well its time to start back to work on the little trailer.
I also am starting my trailer today , it will be a modified version of the weekender 11 also . Nickname for this trailer will be the Texas Tepee.
I guess we will combine the two trailers in this thread since they are so simular.
Time to go to work
