    Hi, I like how you "float" your filon. I decided to do just that with my teardrop build. The only problem is it shrinks and expands and warps the filon. Is this something you just live with or how do you avoid that? Yours looks so good.

    Thanks. Following your video I was able to install the same converter in a 2004 Fleetwood Taos popup that had a failed Centurion unit. The new one works fine. The black shore wire attached differently on the old unit so your instructiions made it clear as the WFCO converter didn,t have any. Thanks again and I enjoy watching you build your camperes.

I bought the trailer for $800, it was a tear drop that was rotted. Tore it down to the trailer. I have SO many questions because I get a LOT of advice, but all from people whom have never built one. Beyond that, I don't know tools so forgive my ignorance. I see you did the inside FIRST, then outside when adding the roof/ceiling. I would appreciate any/all feedback you could give! :) This looks EXACTLY like the shape of mine! :). I do not have extra cash to spare, so I'm going as economical as I can, but still want it to be free of leaks. 1) What is the gun with the hose attached and what is in it? Is that a nail gun or some type of adhesive gun? 2) Did you undercoat the plywood underneath with anything?

I use marine grade or exterior grade plywood so I don't coat the underside. If you want to do that, I recommend a quality exterior house paint. The bottom only sees water when it rains while traveling. The nail gun I use is just a cheap, Harbor Freight pneumatic nail/staple gun combo. I use 3/4 inch crown staples in the gun.
