I was at Home Depot recently and was able to score a good deal on the Ducan vinyl decking I’ve been planning to use for covering the trailer roof. Today I went out and finally bought the adhesive and a few finishing items in the hopes that I can get to the final step of the roof this week while I am off on holidays.

This past week I have been able to return to the trailer roof project. I’ve now re-attached the roof to the lifts and it just needs a bit of adjustment as far as lift height goes but I’ll take care of that soon. I’ve also finished removing the sink and stove as we don’t use them and I’m not even sure if they are functional. The open counter space will be a welcome addition for us. The last step will be to apply the roof skin, of which will likely be vinyl decking. Weight-wise I’m not much heavier at the moment and quite happy with how things are going. Here’s a few pics.

Yes, I know, it’s been a slow process but I am getting bits done. With a pregnant wife and many other facets of life taking my spare time I find it hard to devote any length of time to the project other than small shots in the evenings here and there.

I have managed to re-attached the lower aluminum track to the roof and it fits perfectly. Next step is to drop the roof down and drill the holes for the lift mounts and get those attached. Once that is done I will go out and get the roofing material, of which I still haven’t decided what to use. I’m leaning towards using the vinyl decking, but I may go with roll-on product alternatively. My aim is to keep it as light as possible since my roof structure is a bit heavier with the added height and better wood construction.

With any luck, this weekend will have the roof completely reconnected to the trailer and a milestone will be passed with this project. I have new flooring for the trailer but that may be a next-winter project, we’ll see.
