Cool, what kind of trim will wrap those windows??

1x3 cedar plank most likely. Unless I decide to paint the trim, then I'll just use pine.

Do a bevel to the top 1x3 either way, and don't forget the drip cap for the door.

Good advice Monte! Thanks. Didn't even think about the top of the window. I have a rain gutter in mind for the door.

Ordered the wiring harness kit today for turn signals and trailer hookup. One more thing crossed off the list to do. It is a two step proceedure right, have to get it ordered, but of course then I have to get it installed. My list reads: 1, buy winch 1A, install winch
and so on.

Yes sir. You're right, I need to post a pic with the roof and windshield. I'll see if I have that in inventory. I'll be heading to my NM property next week, so it's on to the P7, and won't be back for a month, it will be sometime before I do any further mods to the P1K. Hoped, just checked, the only pic I have doesn't show the roof well or windshield at all. I'll get one when I'm at the ranch next week before heading out.

That's kinda how my mods go. Order and recieve then let it sit on the kitchen table for a few days waiting for clear weather, install half of it, go to work, come back and finish it. Lol.

Me too, he's supposed to be sending me a pic when it goes on line and throughout production. Should be getting something soon.

Im sure you have all ready answered this but will there be batteries for lights, or a power invertor for 110v ac?

Mine will have a solar powered DS battery for lights but the Osprey is being equipped with 110 provisions for those opportunities we have at non primitive camping.

I'll be running a single 12v battery in the front tool box, with full 110v hookups. The house lights will all be 12v while the A/C, TV and a couple outlets will be all on 110. I have considered using my 1500w inverter and hooking one 110 outlet to it so I could run the tv off battery power. Haven't really gotten too deep into thought on it yet.

Any 12v exterior "porch lights"? We live ours on our enclosed trailer.

I won't be using the trailer solely for the ROTC though. I'll use it locally for camping trips with the little guy, and as a separate living g quarters for my oldest daughter when she is here for the summer.

Oh yeah, she'll need (demand) TV.

I didn't do a porch light because I didn't order the porch.

We put a small 27" led tv in our trailer for the kids. With a car stereo that can play dvds. Its nice to have a place for the kids to stay warm and dry if the weather turns nasty
