     Its a couple days before Christmas now, all the presents are bought and wrapped, Holidays are such a wonderful time to spend with your family and friends, wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and all the other holidays that are celebrated throughout the world, May there be Peace On Earth !
    The build continues on slowly but surely, I 'm still in the process of adding insulation to the roof, front of the trailer has one layer of 1/8 luan, when the insulation is finished I'll finish the first layer luan then add the second, then 3 coats of Raka epoxy and 3-4 coats of Pettit Topside paint.

Had a partial meltdown on my blog last week, seems OK now. I received my 2 - 40 watt panels last Friday, stainless steel hinge with rivets has been installed, now I'm looking for a couple of suitcase type handles, also need to pick up a controller and 50 feet of 10 gauge wire to connect from the panel to the controller. I have the hatch back on with the taillights wired and working. Also I'm insulating and skinning the roof.
