Location: Southern New Mexico | Looks good. Where did you find the polyken 360 tape? I have seen it in a few places, but you have to buy a case. I don't need a case of it, just one roll. Terri |

I like how you went to the trouble to explain why you are doing things the way you are.looks like a fun project.wish i had mine that far along.
are you happy with the roof coating you put on?did you have any laeks before and then find that the product actually sealed the roof up?
great job keep us informed

| Great pictures!
I'm curious how you are going to finish the very front of the gooseneck? That and the curves on the edges of the ceiling have my husband and I perplexed about how to attempt the insulation in my trailer. Scoring the insulation board for the curve is a good idea.
Well done! |

Location: Colorado | Hi Terri, Polyken 360 was in the Home Depot plumbing department! I found it there when we fixed my grandma's sink. You might check with them... Michelle |

Location: Colorado | Thanks Aaron. I need to get pictures of the finished roof coating (still just the LQ). There are two coats of white Snow Roof on top now. There were some small leaks when I got the trailer, it definitely sealed everything up on the roof really well. The company was also really good about answering my questions. Happy Trails, Michelle |

Location: Colorado | Twogrey, the insulation will be easy, just score it and the curves come out really well. The nose/roof will probably be done in two or more pieces (then tape the seams and it's sealed up). If I have time, I'll do it today and post pictures. The paneling in the nose is the confusing part to me.  Happy Trails, Michelle |

| Yeah, I agree. We haven't figured that out yet. Maybe some cabinets would cover up the space. |

The paneling in the nose is the confusing part to me. Happy Trails, Michelle That works - or - I used the bubble wrap insulation in the curve It's thin and pliable and fit in there nicely. You can buy it in small quantities at home depot - 2 small rolls was enough to finish the trailer. It's more expensive than the foam that's why I didn't use it for the whole trailer. My trailer came with covers for the curve along the roof so I will either use those or something similar. As for the nose I'm putting a storage area there so the curve will not be a show surface, so we are just going put up a thin board that will bend into the curve and not worry about the roof at the curve - we just taped the insulation up there. Here are some pictures of mine http://community.webshots.com/album/296680265MKNVpW it shows the original roof curve plates and the insulation I used in there. One side of the nose we used left over Styrofoam but because it was there and used the bubble wrap on the other side - the bubble wrap actually has a higher R value.Now I need to get back at that and get the paneling up! We are waiting on a part for the saw... good excuse right!  |
