Demolition Derby

Hey guys! Hope this post finds you well. I have quite a bit of updating to do... let's just say one thing is leading to another and I'm ending up with a gutted trailer:

No kitchen...
No closet...
No bathroom wall...
No bed...
No bathroom...
I feel like I should post something constructive after all of that! So now that it's bare bones, no fiberglass insulation in the walls, it's quite literally a tin can.
Oops, wrong tin can...
There are many strongly held opinions about choice of insulation, and in the end, I went with R-Tech 4' x 8' styrofoam boards with a metallic sheet on one side from Lowe's. The fact that it's 1.5" thick works well in the 1.5" walls since it helps get the spacing right for the interior aluminum skins and the future front and rear domes. So now I guess it's a styrofoam cup in a tin can. To get it to fit in a curve, however, requires a little ingenuity.   
Hard at work.
Hidden mosaic!
So I'm finally hitting the limit of what I can remove and I have to start replacing! The end layout will probably be very similar to what it was... just more awesomer. Keep checking back for updates and keep on truckin!
