Both walls and doors have been skinned inside and out. I'll be adding another coat of Raka epoxy to the outside walls. Doors have been test fitted with aluminum trim and hinge. Next step will to paint the outer walls with Petitt Topside Marine paint and seal the inside skins with a clear sealer.

Passenger wall is somewhat complete, inner and outer skins are on, door has been cut, framed and skinned. I picked up a few aluminum trim pieces from So Cal Teardrop to test fit along with a sample of there door hinge. Now I'm working on the drivers side inner skin and door, this will take me about a week to complete. Then will be decision time for the outer finish skin, which I want to finish before permanently mounting the walls to the body of the trailer.I'm also not sure if I'm going to go with the paddle door or the old school type handle.
