Right choice. Stop, evaluate and move in another direction. Again, your attention to detail and craftsmanship is making this a beautiful build. Well done.

[@OregonBatman]

Thank ya Papa! Thanks for always coming back!

[@tullahomaC]

You really lucked out on the volt option for the usb socket. Everything is looking sharp! Thanks for sharing the build with us!

[@OregonBatman]

Thank you tullahomacC! With that volt meter, it is really easy to keep an eye out on the charge of the battery, everything is working as it should and I am really happy with it! Thanks for watching!

[@davedownunder8057]

Your efforts in explaining the build is in a no nonsense easy way to follow is fantastic and a great help in my own build .Dave from Australia

[@OregonBatman]

Thank you Dave! Greetings to Australia!

[@downtownredneck5079]

That is a good looking piece of mahogany, very neat and strange usb light. Kinda want one now..... Keep up the good work.

[@OregonBatman]

Thank ya DR!

Love those switches! Every camper I've seen has toggle or push-button switches. You're the first I've seen. use touch switches. I think they look spectacular. Also love the match of the cover with the door handles. We have almost recovered from our recent "surprise adventure" and are ready to finish her teardrop. It's so close, and so is yours!

[@OregonBatman]

Thanks Eli! Yup... pretty happy with the switches, I do think they look pretty good, and they work great! Looking forward to seeing yours finished! Mine is pretty close... but getting the time to work on it getting a little tight. Had to get some things out of the way! Trying to get it in gear!

[@kelvindavis7987]

Another great video. I really like the way your build is going so far. You make it look so easy.

[@toronado455]

great video! the interior is amazing! I'm so glad you decided to contact the seller of those illuminated switches and that they sent you the correct ones! very good news!

[@OregonBatman]

Thanks T! I really wasn't expecting to get a replacement from the seller when I contacted them, glad I did, and really glad they came through for me. Much happier with the setup! Brightened my day! LOL!

[@michaelmacisaac5069]

Where the mahogany panel is screwed to the cabinet face you may want to open up the four screw holes a bit to allow for seasonal wood movement. Just a thought ...

[@OregonBatman]

Thanks Michael! I will keep that in mind and watch for any movement. Great tip, thanks!

[@DesignBuildFixReview]

I think on those new switches the light isnt on all the time, but the circuit sensing your motion is. So there is going to be a constant draw from the battery, much like in a car with your keyless remote always drawing power. If you have an micro amp meter you can see how much. Coming out good.

[@OregonBatman]

Good point. Be interesting to see how much it draws over a little time. I'll most likely install a shutoff switch on the battery for those times when trailer is not in use, and use a small solar setup to keep it charged on the outings.

[@acontant80]

Great video! May I suggest something. You put a lot of work to hide as much screws as you can so for the switch panel, I was thinking to use a couple big strong rare earth magnets instead of the brass screw. Good luck with the new roof.

[@OregonBatman]

THAT... is a super idea! I did not think of that. That would have been a great little feature to have. I didn't like the idea of the screw heads showing, and didn't want to use the little wooden button heads. Wish I knew about the magnets before hand. Next build!! :) Thanks for that tip!

[@rcarpt83]

Hi. Where did you purchase the bendable plywood? Thanks

[@OregonBatman]

Hello... I purchased the plywood online from a company called Boulter Plywood.

[@kmac2014]

Great build. How can I get a set of plans?

[@OregonBatman]

Hi K Mac... my email is below in description, shoot me an email and I will tell you how you can get the drawings for the Teardrop!

[@The33TIGGER33]

That sucks your plywood didn't work out. Have you thought of using 1/8" Baltic Burch plywood. It comes in 60" x 60" sheets. Your doing a great job.

[@OregonBatman]

Thank you so much! Next build will definitely use the 1/4"! None of the lumber yards around here have exactly what you want when you need it... especially the Baltic Birch which would have worked out great! I ended up using a Mahogany product called Miranti. It's 1/8". Worked out great

[@DesignBuildFixReview]

I read plywood delaminates over time, is that going to be a problem? Unless like marine grade or something.

[@OregonBatman]

Not going to be a problem for this particular build. The plywood will be sealed by the filon and no exposure to outside. I built a few boats in the past and used the marine grade ply, and that held up really well. Just have to make sure that both sides are sealed and no moisture.

[@jerrysavol1445]

What company are the lights from

[@OregonBatman]

Hi Jerry... purchased on Amazon, doesn't have a brand name: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XPQ3B9Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@felixleveille8441]

I just wrote a comment on your boat build... hope you reply ! 👍

[@OregonBatman]

Got it! Thanks!

[@dragonden9227]

[@dragonden9227]

[@OregonBatman]
