Compact Jr rebuild update

In May I began the rebuild of the little trailer, starting with the flooring and interior paint. Since then I have done nothing though, and I’m happy that I have not. The flooring was not going to hold up, so we have tackled that problem by re-doing the re-do.

This time all new plywood was laid covering the entire floor, leaving no fiberglass exposed at your feet. This fixed one problem we were having with a saggy section of the floor as well as giving us a clean and smooth area to cover and secure new interior fixtures.

On top of the new plywood we considered some nice looking hard wood, but the 100 pounds it would have added to the weight turned us back to linoleum, this time in one large sheet as opposed to 1-foot panels. We decided not to use adhesive to secure it, instead just tacking down the corners and sides so it can be more easily replaced later down the road if we want.

In the image above, you can see what will become the bed (large sheet of wood) and the two dinette bench seats (not yet topped).
