Flora's First Trip

A very quick update:

We worked like crazy for six days before heading to Twelvemile Beach in the U.P last week.  Here she is:

Flora, July 2013

We still have interior work to do, but she is ready to go whenever we are.

Until next time - Rachel & Gail

Further Updates (long delayed)

We didn't have Flora done in time to take her to Maumee.  In fact, she's not done yet, but we did bring her home to finish. 

Our goal was to have her skin on with no loose parts before we moved her.  So, here is what we did:

• We sent the skin off to be painted.  We had the green on the Scout matched and have a stripe at the top of the trailer and a stripe at the bottom painted that same color with the rest being bright white.  We purchased new roof skin so there would be no seams.  Had that painted white, too

Curb-side post-paint

• We installed the walls.  

This is 1/2" birch with a layer of bubble insulation.  The supports are for the rear window.

• We installed the dinette supports and seats.

• We installed the 1/8" ceiling pieces (birch luan) starting from the back, working forward.  We left the front open so we could get big pieces like the kitchen cabinet in and out before their final installation.  Thanks again to Nancy Kroes for her invaluable assistance with getting this done.

• Installed the front ceiling piece and then the overhead cabinet.

• Put all of the skin on and moved her out
