Interior Walls


Oh wainscoting, how much do I love thee? Let me count the ways...I love the crisp, clean look of white. It also will make the small space seem a little bit bigger so I will be painting it white. But wainscoting can be painted ANY color which can put a custom look on your glamper. This trailer is being designed as a big wrap around dining area, it will not have a separate sofa, so the wainscoting to me suits a kitchen space. Also I thought since we have insulated the whole trailer, I didn't need to worry about using a nice grade wood. We also wanted to keep the weight down and this is thin and light. (I have noticed some trailers have beautiful wood still in place and if that were the case with this one, I would've kept it wood. But this Santa Fe had really bad looking 70's paneling which had water damage in alot of areas.)

At this stage we are cutting and marking.  You don't want to screw it in place yet until you have made sure all your electrical is finished and all the insulation you want to add is in place. In our case, its not. So we are just pre cutting.

New Aluminum

And just like that, we have a perfect new front without a million dents and the cave in from the original owner's hunting box that he had mounted on the front.
