After I'd like to compare it to a 6 mo. long magic trick. Not bad huh? |
Home Happy Thanksgiving... Be back soon. |

Home Happy Thanksgiving... Be back soon. |
First order of the day, frame got a good grinding. |
Then a bath of Rustoleum primer, finished with Rustoleum black. |
Front corner frames installed and fastened to existing 'C' channel frame with 1/4" x 4" SDS screws. |
1-1/2" SQ. steel tubing (red) was bolted inside the existing 'C' channel frame to catch the back portion of the floor frame. |
'L' brackets were used to keep everything in order at the rear of the trailer. Once everything was in place, the frame was BOMBER. |
As the darkness fell, It fit. Whew! |
Back of trailer will house bench seating | with storage below | a beer drinking table | that will transform into the bed | with lighting & storage above. Design TBD. |
Next on the list...wheel wells. Stay tuned... |
Ice and H2O shield applied to rear panel of floor. |
Final staples driven home to secure Tyvek to interior of floor assembly. |
Installed sleepers over Tyvek which will provide a nailing surface for the finish floor. |
Cut rigid insulation between sleepers so we can keep it HOT! |
Sheet metal strikes again! |
Fully loaded and ready to roll. |
Already looks good in the trailer - final installation happens in a couple weeks. |
1/2" pressure treated ply will make up the floor - built in (2) sections so they'll fit through the door, they will slide into each other once finished to the complete the assembly. |
On the bottom side, we plugged the holes with bondo, then sanded flush with ply to ensure a smooth surface to which I applied VYCOR Ice & H2O shield. |
This is a picture of the (2) pieces together - the 2x PT will be lapped, glued and screwed to the remaining pieces to create the corner supports upon which the floor assembly will sit. |
We milled trim pieces that wrap the entire perimeter on the floor - which provides a larger nailing surface for finish materials. |
This is actually the bottom side of the floor. 3X3 'L' flashing was cut and bent around the perimeter of the floor - then the Ice & H2O shield was applied to the entire underside of each piece. |
This is the top of the flooring assembly - you can see the perimeter trim just inside the 'L' flashing. It sits 3/4" above the plywood to allow for rigid insulation. |
This is the rear frame support prior to glue and screw. |
After glue and screw. This will be screwed into the existing metal frame to create a solid structural base for the floor to rest upon. |
A layer of 1/2" PT ply was then screwed to the top of each corner frame in order to obtain a 2" overall dimension to match the existing metal frame of the trailer. |

Interior patch work | Flattened it out | Vycor to Vycor as the base to seal it tight |
All that supports the rear end of the trailer are 2"x2" wood pieces that are bolted to the metal frame | All of which are rotted and will be removed |
Again you can see the wooden floor support in the upper right corner | Will be replaced with a brand new metal frame |
Only three supports under entire floor | All held together with horizontal 'L' metal | You can see the floor jacks just behind each tire | Custom floor frame here we come! |
