none of the other build video’s I have seen go into the detail of how to seal and trim the roof to sidewall. very instructive! your build video is by far the most detailed I have ever seen. care and precision of the build is incredible. I know capturing this project has been a ton of work for you. THANKS for sharing!!!
It amazes me how you accomplish all that in a 1 car garage. If you only had about 2’ more in garage width it would certainly make building easier. Being an amateur woodworker I really appreciate your use of jigs to accomplish some of these tasks. I bet you’ve spent nearly as much in clamps and wood for jigs as you have in building materials. You can never have too many clamps!
LOL! Yup... can never have too many clamps! Should have seen my garage when I was building my 6 x 12 RV... had to lose weight just to get around the thing! :)
Great job and great video! I noticed you marked the position of the supports or ribs under the Filon. Always impressed by the fact that you do those jobs alone!
Hey Al, could you help me find the kind of 3M adhesive tapes you're using on your camper? I was planning to use butyl tape but the stuff you're using looks so much better!
Yup... go to ULINE.com and use part number S-20344. This is the 3M 4411N Extreme Sealing Tape - 2" x 36 yds 40 mil, perfect for the job! Hope that helps!!
Hi Batman Oregan , Great work ,fantasic job you do well detail. Parts are fun to fun !lol We are about to start our project of building a teardrop. . I was wandering if you could tell me what you call those brace /bracket on the corner of the gallery hatch door are call. i can't find anything like that. Keep up the good work do appreciate your time and effort. and thanks for sharing . we are in australia keep smiling. cheers jm
Thank you! I used the HT11-01 Black Aluminum Insert 5/8″ Leg Roof Edge Molding 93″ Length from Vintage Technologies on the outside of the teardrop. Hope that helps!
You mentioned using butyl tape to seal the trim on top of the 3m tape. Do you also put a bead of proflex along the edge of the trim later or is that not necessary?
Now i know that you get some stuff from affordable rving from past video, did you get the trim from them ? Im on the other coast and im scared to mail order that because its so fragile so i have to find a source near wash dc
Hey Brent! Actually, I purchased the trim from Vintage Technologies (and some from Ebay), Comes very well packaged in a thick tube. Never had a problem as of yet. If you can find it close, that's the best deal, no shipping, but if not, no worries with Vintage Technologies... they package real good!
@@OregonBatman ill google them to see their website, thanks for the info. Your builds coming awesome keep up the great work. I look forward to the videos
@@OregonBatman i found their website and on alot of the trim its way cheaper than other places i seen online, thats a great resource thank you ! If you ever run into a slow build week a video of suppliers and your opinion of them could be an idea, heck might even get you sponsored with discounts
Hi there! If you Google search or Ebay or Amazon 3M 4412N you should find what you are looking for. The 4412 is the 80 Mil, and the 4411 is the 40 Mil. Hope that helps!

Hello Charles! The overall thickness of the wall are 3/4". 1/2" for inside walls, 1/4" Luan with Filon for outside. I have to update the link, sorry about that. Email me and I will send you a link for the plans... batman97741@gmail.com Thanks for watching!!
Thank you Aaron! I recommend the 3M tape for sealing the edges, once the edges are sealed, use the butyl tape or your choice of sealant to prevent water leaks. If the sealant/butyl fails and water leaks do occur, the 3M tape will help prevent water from penetrating the edges into the wood.
Nice job on the trim work!! Do have a product code for the 3M tape? I have been trying to find a large roll in either 2-3" wide with no luck other then 25' lengths. thank you
Hey Dave3000! That's the ticket... it is a softer aluminum designed for the RV industries able to take the bends. And with a gentle persuasion, able to handle the 8" radii. My little jig worked! My other option would have cost me $300 for a roller to bend the aluminum! Whew!

Here's another vote for a video on your suppliers. Or point me to where you've discussed it. You're a master craftsman Batman!
What size/type screws do you use for aluminium trim? .
I used #6 or #8 truss head screws 3/4" to 1". I find the truss head gives a better pull because the heads are wider. Thanks for checking it out!
Could you give me a link to the 3m tape that you are using? I just bought some and it doesn't look anything like what is in your video. Thx
Hi there! If you Google search or Ebay or Amazon 3M 4412N you should find what you are looking for. The 4412 is the 80 Mil, and the 4411 is the 40 Mil. Hope that helps!
Is that the 5/8” trim from vintage tech
Yes it is... it is a softer aluminum and the 5/8" leg helps making the bends easier! Thanks for checking it out Jerry!
