Looks like it could be a good one. Check for leaks before you get too far along. ...especially if it has been housed and protected.

Best Wishes!

Thanks for the encouragement -- we are going to need it. I am not too worried about the integrity of the roof on this one as we are going to do extensive work on the roof and eventually skin over with aluminum.

Ok...going to post a few more updates since I am already falling behind. First, thanks to the keen style advice from friends and the forum we have settled on the following design for this trailer:

Looks good! I really like the skylight idea. If I ever build another one...

Since the window we are using in the front has a different slope than the current roof we needed to remove a section and cut the sides.

New window will go here:

And finally replaced small passive vent with a new fantastic vent:
