Underside of trailer
|
| Description |
These are plastic washers I made with a 7/8 wood boring bit and a sheet of 1/6" plastic. They will be used between the screws and the belly skin. I've decided that since I added the wood support beams, that I will use hex head self tapping screws. This way if I ever have to take them out, it won't be such a battle. Actually, now that I have redone everything under the trailer in this location, there is really no reason to ever have to go in there again. |

More shots from below

| Description |
Another view of the added in support lumber. Very easy to attach and it gives me a lot more area to bite in to. I also added in some angle steel carriage bolted down from above to give the floor some more strength between beams. They seemed to have sagged a bit. Now they are nice and firm. The coffee cup is instead of a black water tank... kidding. That is just there to prevent bugs and other critters from crawling in to the trailer, and is actually the bathroom exhaust vent hole. |

Underside of trailer
|
| Description |
Here I added in new insulation and screwed in 1x2 pressure treated lumber to act as an additional attaching point for the belly skin. Those thin beams would be impossible to drill in to. I also ran flexible piping for a future gray water tank to be added just behind the axles. |

underside of trailer
|
| Description |
One more shot from the rear looking forward. Lots of work painting the frame. I think I have spent more time under the trailer than in it!--- That is the bw tank supports and underside in the top right corner. All of that has been redone also. |

Suburban furnace
|
| Description |
Here is the original furnace removed from the trailer. If anyone is interested in it for parts, let me know. I have never used it and don't know anything about it. I do know that it was one of the ones on the recall for the "tube". You are on your own! |

Don't jack it here!
|
| Description |
You can see the bend in the bottom of the beam behind the jacking plate where someone must have tried to lift the trailer. Fortunately there was no structural damage or cracks. |

beams
|
| Description |
Another shot of the beams after rust protecting them. They really weren't bad. Only surface rust in various places. |

Under carriage
|
| Description |
Shot of the underside of my trailer after POR15'ng the beams. You can see where the new axle will go. The decking looks pretty good. I pulled out all the old insulation, which also was in good shape, but I couldn't paint the frame with it in place. Will put in new insulation. |

Curtains
|
| Description |
After finding out what it would cost to have them made, I decided I would do it myself. Not much different than working with wood, only a lot more forgiving! Total cost... $35. I used Muslin at $.99/yd and doubled it up for backing. This cost includes the 2 bedroom curtains. No seat cushions yet on the couch, and the control panel needs to be painted. |
