Finished the door trim.
Trimmed passenger side window.
Trimmed driver side window.
Installed trim between the vertical walls and ceiling. A million angles/curves to account for in every piece, but got it done.
Sprayed two coats of Varathane Diamond Finish on all walls and ceiling.
Flooring is up next!

Flooring is in! Vinyl plank, 10mm, waterproof.
The 4 packages of flooring each had about 50% nice, dark coloured planks, and 50% that are lighter, greyer, and less appealing. I used the nice planks in the area that'll be visible, and the other planks in areas that will be covered up with cabinetry. I wanted the entire floor covered (and not just the visible areas) because of the waterproofing element of this flooring; should anything ever leak, the planks will minimize water intrusion. It'll also be nice to see proper floors when opening cabinets, drawers, etc.

No idea at this point. Will weigh it eventually!
Pretty sure I’ll need to upgrade to a heavier duty axle when it’s all done.

Framed-in the water tanks. 170L fresh water (bottom) and 90L gray water. Framing is screwed to studs, walls and floor, while the tanks are sandwiched-in between the framing and walls.
Started on the plumbing using 3/4" PEX.
Made the box containing water fixtures for the driver's side access panel. Finished in Herculiner (truck-bed liner).
Plumbing progress: drains for both tanks are routed outside (bottom) of the trailer, fresh water tank intake connected, exterior shower connected. Also ran 12mm bolts through the bottom of the water tank framing, to the exterior, and secured with nylocks. Roughed-in insulation for the access panel.
Framing for the batteries. The three tie-downs are bolted through the floor with 1/4", stainless bolts.
Batteries are secured with a ratchet strap.
Started kitchen cabinet work.
More progress on the cabinetry, and routed the propane hose with various splitters. One propane line runs to the water heater, another will protrude through the kitchen countertop for a camping stove hookup, and the final line runs to the passenger's side access hatch (also for a camping stove hookup).

Wow. Definitely following along with this now. I would love to do something like this in the future. The trailer looks awesome and your attention to detail is amazing.
