[RC] Week Ender Package for Trailer - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Tess Searcy morabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== This message is for Jeccica. You can email me privatly at morabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx My husband & I have done 2 gooseneck trailers. The first one was a steel Trailer the 2nd was an aluminum. The aluminum was easier since everything is to more of a standard in sizing etc. What kind of trailer are you working on steel or aluminum? First you would want to do insulation. We use the type like paneling, in sheets. It is easy to cut & you can use Liquid Nails to stick it to the walls of the trailer, ceiling too. We got remanent carpeting & carpet pad for the neck which would be your bed area & we used indoor/outdoor remanents for the floor. Easy to take up & clean. I can tell you a few more tricks, we used the plastic like paneling for bathrooms for the ceiling, it is light & can we wiped down easily & you will want some lightness in the bunk area. Plus it is easy to bend to shape it & get it to fit together. This to us was the hardest part. You will have to cut to fit & use the wide stripping that goes in between the panels, this you will have to "fit"together at a couple of points. This is tricky up above your head. Get in touch with us & we can explain more fully. Do the ceiling first. We also got unfinshed cabinets for use as storage & we made a bed box on the long wall that doubles as extra storage. We got a unfinished bathroom cabinet & used a left over piece of countertop for the top & we then had a drawer for little essentials & we put 2 sliding wire drawers inside for out clothes. This was positioned so we could use it as a table & the last step into the bed. My husband took a heavy duty extension cord to use for the electric cord & marked where he wanted light switches, fans ect. he did this before he hung any insulation or paneling. We have our trailer set up so we can use a marine battery for our lights & fan instead of using the truck battery & we also have it set up for 110 so we can plug into electric if there is any. Let us know if we can help you further, we are no ecpert but have done it twice now.
