Was it connected? If so no current draw?
Or did it test bad when you returned it?

Tear adding more wear and tear on the ole body.
Out of commission for a few days, trying to get over a sciatic nerve problem.. no biggie, done this before..
So ply all picked up for the skins, it's in the shop waiting, laying flat..
Skins won't be a problem when I get back to it. Doing red oak 1/4" ply for the sides. Have already picked the way the grain will run and where to make the seams.
While down,, have been spending time going over the forum once again. So much helpful information on here..
Still not sure what finish to do on the top part of this tear.. staying woody on the sides for sure. Later on the sides will have wood trim around the edges, over the seams and around doors and windows.
That leaves the decision of coating the top skins, which are a good grade of luan underlay.
1. seal with the mix and paint,
2. seal and bed liner it,
3. PMF and paint?
Just so many ways to choose from.. and most all turn out really good from what I've seen on here.
May just have to wait and see how the skins go on the top.. and what preparation it will take to get it ready to finish..?
Now I know why some have such a hard time doing the first one of these..
I have a list of things I would do different should I ever decide to build another one..

I like pmf but thinking back on the ironing and 6 coats of paint, it was quite a bit of work. On the contrary, my trailer has been sitting outside collecting dust and it's so easy to clean with the gloss exterior paint. Not sure how easy bed liner is to apply. Either way, I don't think you will have issues with those two.
Hang in there,

The weather here has been brutal this summer. I can take the 100+ degree heat but the heat plus the high humidity has sidelined me.

Very nice progress even with the health setbacks. The weather here has been brutal this summer. I can take the 100+ degree heat but the heat plus the high humidity has sidelined me. I hope your back gets in shape soon and you can get back to work (although it looks like we're back to high heat & high humidity for the next couple of weeks.) I love the look of a woodie and can't wait to see how yours turns out.
Take care,
Tom

We've gone the other way. 90+ degree heat with 10% humidity. Sure, it's a dry heat but throw in a bit of lightning and Dirty-August arrives.

Always wondered if you had the humidity that we do? Funny how much difference there can be.. either way, when it gets above 90 degrees, weather man should keep it easy and just say "Well, it's another hot day today".
Tony, what number camper are you up to now? 3 or 4?
