Modest update

I have been busy doing boat work these last few weeks.  I've been modifying a trailer to haul two Sunfishes without damage for long distances, and putting an electrical system on my 30' keelboat for night sailing this year.  I should be done with that stuff soon.

I bought some 16 gauge duplex wire and located an inverter/charger and picked some Wago DIN rail terminations.  I am eager to start wiring.

My main concern is making this camper as dry as possible on the inside.  So when I strip everything out, I think I'll seal the outside seams with AirStream seam sealer.  For the inside I thought closed cell foam would work best.  Suddenly it occurred to me the best product might be to use spray in bed liner for a thin layer inside, and then fill the cavities with closed cell foam after I finish the wiring.  That will give me three layers of protection.  The bed liner and spray foam will all some structural rigidity as well.

So I will need to remove and re-bed the windows when I do all this, so I still need to order a few more products, two sided tape to seal the windows, and new stainless screws to re-fasten the windows.  I have some bed liner for my truck that I can re-purpose.  I probably need a couple of new batteries for my screw gun as the ones I have won't hold a charge.  I hope to start taking my camper apart next week.
