Got some more butyl tape yesterday and was able to finish putting up the j rail and c rail. Came up 15 screws short but have some more coming. I have been using stainless truss head screws.
Got the door trim in as well as the hinge and screen door. Still messing with the rebuilt door to make that fit. That is tonights project.
So list is getting shorter,
Wire outside lights
Install door
clean gorilla glue duct tape off around vent and other parts of the outside
Temp seal around the water intake since I think I will do something different next year.
Clean up tyvek for wheel trim area
drag it outside
Install roof vent
Install axle
Sit in my chair and let my body heal for the winter.

Got a couple items done last night
- Got the trailer tail light wiring done
- Got the back door locks catches to work
- Put some rubber seal around the door
- test fitted the roof fan
Need to install 2 windows, drag it outside and put the axle and roof fan on and I will be done for the winter. The only issue is we are suppose to get an inch of snow today.

Pulled the camper out of the garage today. I cant find a picture of the axle so I am not sure if the wiring for the brakes was at the front or back side of the camper. Will post some pictures soon.  20181110_160214 by Tom Ress, on Flickr |

It got to 27 degrees this morning so I took advantage of the warm weather and put the axle on and got the trailer moved to its spot for the winter. Not much work will be done for the next x months.  20181111_103955 by Tom Ress, on Flickr |

We're now seeing night time lows like 11 here in Northern NV. We saw our first freeze and dipped to 29 last night but it's warmed up to 53 now, that's like a heat wave!  Danny |

It is official, winter is over. I pulled the 58 Airflyte home from storage today so I can start working on it again.
The high was 37, maybe winter is over on the calendar but it seems to want to hang on for while. I am getting excited to start working on it again.
