Yeah...a little delay in pictures as there is not as much interesting to see right now...polyisocyanurate insulation, 5mm plywood siding, wiring...rinse repeat.
This past weekend we finished cutting out the hatches and holes...I think there were 15 hatches or holes in the driver side...amazing. Since we didn't want any hatches on the rear of the camper or underneath, everything has to come out on the driver side or the passenger side...water, waste, electric, fridge vent, air conditioner vent, range vent, bathroom vent, windows, fan vents, exterior electric outlets, passthrough for solar wiring.
We decided to go with standard Rhino truck liner for the roof and a tough paint over that. This is quite a bit cheaper than the aluminized Rhino eco-coat and is a lot closer (30 min vs 5 hour drive).
I could use some advice on the aluminum siding. If you recall, it is 5052-H32 0.063 aluminum which has been Sikaflex 252 bonded to the steel frame with nylon spacers to prevent galvanic action. I got a quote for painting just the sides of $3500 locally. I am not a paint expert, but that seems a bit steep. I know it is a several step process, but we are considering doing it ourselves. I am looking into self etching primers and types of paint to use. Any suggestions are welcome.
