Hi Ryan, I’m about a month away from the start of my build of your build! Can’t wait to get started. Question re: the extra cutouts on the sidewalls (which are back-filled with the 3/4″ insulation). Why?
I’m assuming to increase the R value of the walls?
Yes they do increase the insulation factor but they also remove a considerable amount of weight and provide a space to run the wires.
Good luck on your build!

Hi Ryan…my build is progressing! I know I’ve seen mention in previous posts but I cannot locate the model #’s used for the side door(s) and the star gazer window? Need to ensure I purchase correctly. Thanks!
I personally used the 26″ x 32″ RV Teardrop Trailer doors from Vintage Technologies, I know of people who used the 26″ x 36″ as well and they worked fine. As far as the window, it was a custom unit I found on ebay. The star gazer window you are referring to will work fine, just make sure the roof spars are spaced correctly or its width.

Good luck, I can’t wait to see pictures!
