On to the framing. And another question. I think the photos in this collage are called "edge" boards. Yes? It looks to me as though they consist of 3-5 strips of plywood, cut 3/4" wide, and layered on top of each other, bending as they go. Does that make sense?
Thanks!

They are edge boards or "curbing" as Mobil calls them. They are layered. I try to find floppy plywood to go around the curves. Gorilla glue works great to laminate them. I tack as I go and then use trim screws if needed.
There are usually two layers of edge boards; one goes at the wall top, then the ceiling panels and rafters go on and finally the 2nd set of edge boards at the top. The J rail screws into this top layer.

The J rail screws into this top layer. Vikx, I'm confused about the "2nd set of edge boards at top." When you say J-Rail, do you mean the kind that is screwed into the SIDES of the camper, or the kind that screws into the TOP of the roof plane? Our Vacationaire screws into the top and follows the profile all around (and seems easier to bend). But, I've seen another kind that screws in through the side only. I would think that the latter would better at deterring leaks. Opinion?
