Maude The AcuTrailer Update : To Recap

2/14/2022

We got as far as we could on the front end cap last weekend. We'll need to purchase a new center sheet, so we decided to get started on the back end cap, so we can make one order for the finish pieces!

Here's where we started! We used Rockwool insulation on this end of the trailer.

We struggled so much with the fiberglass end cap, in part because the Rockwool insulation was pushing out and not letting the fiberglass flex back into the curves. So, we glued some remnants from the purple insulation board as spacers! However, when we held up the first piece of aluminum, we found that the insulation was still going to be problematic, so we pulled off about half of the thickness. At this point, we were ready to set up the first sheet!

*SIGH* The front and the rear end caps are not the same, as it turns out. The aluminum that we have is mostly not going to work. We found that we can probably use 2-3 the 11.5"x56" strips on either side of the window, but once we start getting too much higher than that, we're going to need longer strips.

Additionally, as we were holding up some of the aluminum strips, we decided that the Rockwool was going to continue to be problematic. We liked having the purple board insulation that we could press the sheets firmly against to get the nice curve. 

SOooooo.... we decided to rip it back to the Reflectix. LOL

At this point, we were unable to do anything further, so we made another run to the store for more purple insulation board. BUT! We'll be all ready to go next weekend - at least in terms of putting in the insulation LOL

I've gotta say, this has been one of the most frustrating projects I've ever worked on, and we do all of our own home remodels LOL! The good news is that we're starting to see the absolute humor in it all. OF COURSE the second end cap wouldn't go smoothly LOL

Anyways, I hope all of your projects, whatever they may be, go a little more smoothly than Maude The AcuTrailer ;)

Until next time! <3 Becca
