My main goal for this Saturday was to finish up the roof of the camper so we can actually install it and stop having to pick it up every time we want to work inside!  I got it painted the other day, but we had planned to get some aluminum trim to glue around the edges.  This would cover up all the remaining sharp fiberglass edges and give us something to rivet the canvas to!

The pictures made it look really easy, but it took a few hours for the epoxy to cure in between each side so it took literally all day.  After all the sides were dry, I knocked down the rough spots and edges with some sandpaper, masked the aluminum with tape, and then touched up the paint all the way around the perimeter. Then we can flip it back over and do the final prep and paint for the roof!

While the roof sections were drying I obviously needed something else to work on, so I started on the seat portions of the dinette and the built in storage for the water tank. Now, instead of a normal plastic tank, we ended up getting a “water bladder”.  It’s the exact size we needed and is super lightweight.

The layout of the galley isn’t finished yet.  We have a rough idea of where we want to put everything, but that’s about it.  The only critical dimension is making sure we leave room for the battery.

So now we have the roof AND the interior drying.  Jason and I took this time to glue the fittings to the ends of the copper tubing sections that the roof lift is made from.

We didn’t quite get the roof done today, but it’s sitting on the stand ready to paint for tomorrow morning! 🙂
