Here I am installing the aluminum on the roof. The camper is an inch wider than 4′ so I need to get wider trim to go on the edges to cover and make water tight! But I think it’s going to work out fine.

I started building the hatch….from Scratch….
Once complete it will have aluminum on the outside.
Meet Ma Kettle ! Isn’t she cute !!! Just a young 50 years old. She is a 13 foot 1964 BeeLine Honey bee ! Found and bought her today! And brought her home on the old cracked tires… Temporary lights. No valid registration but she made it home without a problem. I couldn’t even feel her behind the truck. Great find! Great future project. She will be restored back to original look. Maybe with a few goodies added for comfort and technology!
Well I need to start building the hatch, so here is the template for the hatch ribs. Too bad my jigsaw broke tonight so I have to wait a couple days for a part for it.
Yes I added the fantastic fan! It’s awesome. 3 speeds , reversible and with a thermostat! We should be plenty comfortable and I love fan noise to sleep with it’s not noisy but for those light sleepers it
May bother them. I only tacked it to the roof side as I still need to cover the roof with an aluminum skin … That may be this week if all goes right
