The stuff I have used for areas prone to getting wet, oily, etc...  Interlux Bilgecoat (available thru marine supply places).  I typically use this over Epoxy Resin but I have also used it as a stand alone product.  Makes a hard finish that resists oil, gas, sludge, etc. typically found in the bilge of a boat ... and water :smt002

Nice work, Jon.  I look forward to seeing it in Shelter Cove.  Take it slow down the hill!   :smt001
Got that covered, light trailer with trailer brakes and low gear.

Check out the site www.tnttt.com

   Pretty cool info, drawings, pictures, etc.... there.  The NCKA of Tear Drop Trailers ... almost :smt002
Yep that's what got me interested in building one! I've been lurking on that site for about a year and using the plans for the generic benroy.

Do yourself a favor & go led with all lighting from tail to marker to interior!  Allow for a much smaller battery in the trailer (not that tail & marker is affected by that)

    And I'd agree on using the Epoxy with a fiberglass reinforcement.   10 years from now you'll be glad you did.   :smt006

Made a little progress on my galley. Trying to take my time and think it out so I don't have to rebuy sheets of wood.

Strange, there's someone right down my street in Pacifica building an exact replica of that.  You look further along, but same design.

That's funny I just kinda winged the design as I went and took bits and pieces from other tears I liked.
