Nice job, Joan!
I especially like the photo with all the clamps & braces... I've had to get creative with clamp-ups several times, too.
'Must be a great relief to be able to get the flooring down once again.

Gary- it feels SO good. Of course, now I'm semi-terrified of messing the vinyl up with unnecessary holes. However, I've realized that if I get a couple extra in places that don't show much I can just fill them with the stuff I plugged other small holes with. With the slight pattern in the vinyl they'll never even show.
Have to make a major table decision today.

Joan,
Looks like significant progress! (and, looks good)
Don't know what you're planning on for the curved parts, insulation-wise, but something that worked for me on an old tear-drop build, was to use multiple 1/4" layers of polystyrene, instead of one 3/4"......the thinner stuff was a whole lot more flexible.
Just a thought...........
Gary

Thanks Gary- I'm just cutting strips to get around the part under the beadboard. For the ceiling I hope to do what this guy did. I have a source for the foam that is near me- reducing shipping costs. I can even pick it up if I want.

Most excellent!
Great use of old materials... recycling...........
Temporary solution, while already considering options for what you could do, if it doesn't work well in certain ways..........
Creative problem-solving. Gotta love it.

I've been following this thread for awhile. Great information and very impressive transformation!
Quick question for you. Did you end up using Citristrip on the exterior of your trailer? If so, any issues present themselves or was it smooth sailing?
I bought a Ventura earlier this year and the PO spray painted the whole trailer with spray cans. Now it's time to strip the paint and start fresh.
Thanks!
