I thought that I would have the rear rebuilt this weekend. Oh well.

Ouch... at least now you know why the experts here recommend outside-in disassembly

The back is done! Skirt boards are on today's to do list. The rear window was completely covered with silicone and caulk. The Jasco stripper wouldn't touch it. With the Aircraft stripper it scraped right off.

Still plugging away on the Lo-liner. 12v electrical is done, all damaged paneling has been replaced. I sanded all of the paneling, primed with special primer for slick surfaces and sprayed the inside with an airless sprayer. New Trafficmaster Allure flooring inside and black vinyl in the storage areas. I rebuilt the front of the kitchen counter and built new drawers. They will be going in soon, along with all the painted cabinet doors. I still need to finish the bed platform. I believe that I will have the inside finished in the next week. My shop is a disaster! Tools and trailer parts everywhere!

... New Trafficmaster Allure flooring inside and black vinyl in the storage areas. That's Home Depot's vinyl plank flooring, right? I installed that (or a similar viny plank product from Home Depot, I don't recall the brand name) in the bathroom of a rental house last year and was thinking it would look great in my 59 Aristocrat, but the instructions in the box warned that it needed to be in a temperature-controlled environment and would be damaged if it was below or above a certain temperature range. Have you looked into that to see whether it can withstand freezing or blazing hot temperatures in the trailer? I'm not second-guessing you, I'm just hoping that you know something about this that would make me feel comfortable using it in my trailer. It's a great product. And your trailer renovations looks great!

Yes it is. I've read about other using it successfully, so I've got my fingers crossed. I'm on the coast in N Cal, so the temperatures are pretty moderate.

New 12v wiring installed at the top of the curbside storage compartment. AGM battery below. Master shutoff switch inside the trailer. The socket allows me to plug in a trickle charger or solar charger.
