Hi all,
I have started my fist build. It is a 5x10x5(tall) canned ham design with bunk beds for two little ones and no galley. i am building on top of an HF 4x8 super duty.
I made the decision based on our primary need of just needing a space for sleeping/living and we are comfortable with using our camp cookware. Also since this is a first build i wanted to go as simple as possible.
I will upload my plans in a separate post, i based them on numerous different plans i have seen on this forum, and essentially it is a Rimple design.
Here are some details of the basic construction plans:
Floor:
- 2x4x120 across HF frame long ways
- 1x4 across 2x4s every 2ft (will raise floor 5 “ to clear fender)
- Use 5x10 plywood (Berry lunmber has 5x10 http://www.berrylumber.com/html/products.html
- Underside with hard foam insulation depth? 1 inch?
Side walls;
- 2 5x10 plywood for outer wall
- Use 1x2 for framing (use 1x3 for joining wall to floor)
- Use 3/4 inch hard foam insulation (? Is this right or should it be 1 inch)
- Use 2 5x5x 3mm Baltic birch for inner wall
Roof:
- 2x2 spars
- Use 5x5x3mm birch plywood for interior skin
- Use 5x5x3mm birch for exterior skin
- Insulation ¾ inch? Or flush with spars?
- Aluminum http://www.abcsupply.net/aluminum.html ( has 5x10 .04) about $110 per sheet
- Aluminum molding have to figure out (t-shape molding that is “dead soft” no need to anneal) (where to get?)
