A structural issue corrected

Here is the FRONT wall of the camper, the wall that gets all brunt of wind etc as the trailer rolls down the highway. This wall didn't appear to have any framing or insulation; just a sheet of painted plywood attached to the window via caulk. Not structurally sound.  So David took it off....

and confirmed the suspicions.  Nothing but external skin there. 



 So he added some fresh framing and voila, now there is room for insulation and a good means to secure the SIDES to the FRONT (you know, details).

And a good way to attach diamond plating to the front, which looks SUPER COOL and helps protect against rocks, etc. And David re-attached the window with better quality caulk and that special butyl tape.

 It is coming along.  Stay tuned.
