The kitchen
door being built.
Story: Here I am building the door and trying to
figure out the layout of the lights and plate so I can run the wires.
The trailer is also upside down here awaiting axles.
The kitchen
counter.
Story: This is the kitchen counter in the rough. In
this picture you can see the composite construction. Look at the edge
of the counter, you see the wood sandwiching the foam.
The kitchen
cabinets.
Story: These are the kitchen cabinets, upside down. One
side will be the refrigerator, the other storage. I haven't decided if this
should be shelves or drawers. Any suggestions?

Story: This is the full back view, on its side, with
no door.

Vacuum bagging
the outer skin on.
Story: This pulls a vacuum on the whole thing and
atmospheric pressure presses everything together assuring a good bond.
Inside view.
Story: This shows the inside. It is hardly finished
and stil has construction crud everywhere. Here too you can see the
sandwich construction. You can also see the inside,
underneath storage in this picture. In here will be the battery (I hope),
the water tank, and extra storage.
