Doc,
I saw your discussion about drip edge...
here's what I did on the toyhauler
I added a piece of aluminum flashing over the gap where the walls meet the frame across the front of the trailer, and added a plastic piece of inner corner molding (used for Masonite panels, I thnk) over the edge of the metal on the bottom down the sides.
Sorry about the blurry picture.

You might notice "Big Pink yellow" on the underside of the new floor :lol:

NICE !!! I do now see the need for a good drip edge ..... it solves the floor problem nicely ( if the roof don’t leak ..... ;) )

First camping trip of 2016 !
We went to a Tear Jerkers gathering in Va Beach. First time using the new TV, (is the Big Pink really as big as it looks in the picture ?) :shock:

We had a great time and met some really nice people !

Just found this build, Very cool 8) . But did I miss pictures of the finished interior ? I sure would like to see how the inside turned out :pictures: :pictures: :applause: :thumbsup: :beer: Questions, Which HF trailer did you use (weight cap), what size tires did you end up using ?, What is the size of your sub floor structure (LxW) ? Last one , What is the size of the bed area ? Sorry to ask all of this. But it's a long topic (many, many, many, pages) I'm sure that some of the answers are their :NC

Ok, Here's a tour of the interior.
Looking to the left inside the door...
The 2 top switches control the 12VDC LED light and fan.
The bottom ones control the 110 V outside and inside light and fan.

I really like this build! I started out avoiding curves, but at this point now, I'm thinking of building something like this. Ive been reading this thread, and the other related thread as well. Really just a great little camper. And I think I can get my kerfing right on my first build. I've seen a few different jig/setup methods used for it, looks totally do-able. Great camper here. :D
