     The hatch has been coated with 3 coats of Raka epoxy on the inside and outside and 3 coats of white Pettit Topside epoxy paint on the outside, the hurricane hinge is on the hatch and I'm fitting my trim pieces for my hatch as well. I also installed a couple of back up lights with a manual switch to turn them on, it's mounted on the underside of the trailer.

     The cabin interior is done except for a couple pieces of trim and the rear bulkhead. All the interior lights, switches, 12 and 120 volt outlet and ceiling fan is working. I'm starting on the exterior insulation for the roof and skinning the inside of my galley hatch. I also bought two 40 watt solar panels that I'll be working on, I'm really excited about that and can't wait to get them and start experimenting with them. I'll post some pictures of my latest progress soon.
