We Got Power! - ALLPOWERS S2000 Portable Power Station From Amazon
Today hubby is unboxing our power source. The ALLPOWERS S2000 Portable Power Station 2000W. We got a wicked deal on Amazon - lets see what this unit is all about.
Hubby started the day by thinking about lifting the CamperPod into the trailer. He bought some jacks and would like your input. He started cutting aluminum for the interior after he solved a HUGE problem. Ya gotta love change orders.
We chose the JM Aluminum Jacketing for interior cladding because it's lightweight, has a built-in heat pressed polyethylene vapour/moisture barrier and it's textured so it don't show flaws as much as aluminum flashing. We opted for this as it was about the same price as flashing for an aluminum interior and it won't "sweat" moisture like regular aluminum sheet. Cuts with a good blade.
Day 71: First Interior Wall Installed - Building a Full Height Teardrop Camper
Our first wall is in place. Wooo Hooo. Hubby tries some other type of tape and something unexpected appears when he's trying to "massage" some corners. He's not sure if he can have a little fun . . . but he does anyway. :-) He also uses one of his oldest tools.
