I am mostly done with the buying and storing of materials. There will still be a few things like wire nuts, weensy screws for paneling, wiremold and other sorts of molding, things like that. But the major things are taken care of. That also means Hilda the work truck gets a break. I’ve been burning… Continue reading Milestone
This is the third or fourth eighth iteration of the electrical plan, but the first version to be fully digital. I’m using a Progressive Dynamics PD4045 power distribution panel to serve these circuits. This is the go-to panel in the build-it-yourself travel trailer world. I am not thrilled with the location, but hard pressed to think… Continue reading Electrical Layout

Some of my windows have this, and I need to research how to flash it. Here’s my window layout. Clicking it will give… Continue reading Windows, Flanges, and Decorative Elements
It’s probably a sign of insanity that I haven’t even begun assembly of the waggon and I’m already thinking about my next build. Plans are to build a camper on the back of Hilda the work truck to serve two purposes: Act as a workshop or office Act as a wind break for the waggon.… Continue reading Super Simple Electrical System
This is sort of a “notes to self” list, but if you see something obviously crazy. please feel free to contact me through that little contact form at the right or the comments link below the entry. Ditto for questions, comments, whatever. Inventory accessories shipped against the invoice. I’m sure there’s no mastic and fairly… Continue reading Another Great Big Ugly List
Have been studying and taking notes in Accelerated. Have not devoted much time to it. Too much time on the build. Neglected to do Exercise #16 so I have to go back for it today.
