Plan is to build 30" x 78" bed on each side facing to back.The foot end of beds goes all the way across and will have the air conditioner mounted in opening between the beds,Building it in sections to be assembled as one unit.The panels are sandwiched 1" foam covered with 1/8 inch luan on both sides.Pretty light weight for the size.

Steve, in addition to your photo posts being interesting & informative, you may have also saved me the trouble of starting a new thread & posting my "problem photo" showing the original tongue & jack on my '66 Shasta. The jack no longer works because sometime in its prior life it got bent/banged up, and no longer cranks. It's basically stuck in a fairly low position (about like where yours is, in your photo above, if you include the length of the removable "foot" shown in your photo). I've been wondering what to do about that, which sections were replaceable, which replacement parts were readily available, whether I'd have to cut it out with a torch vs be able to unbolt it, etc). It looks (operative word) like I should (hmmm) be able to unbolt "just the jack" exactly the way yours is unbolted and replaced, above. Did you have any trouble getting your ancient bolts to come out? The very few times I used my Shasta, years ago, I had a pickup that was "lifted" so a low, non-functional jack wasn't a significant problem (there was no risk of it dragging or snagging, hitched to a tall bumper). Now I have a stock height small pickup, and the frozen-in-place jack would probably drag. Where did you get your jack?

and just bolted right in.
E Trailer has several model jacks and of course Amazon has everything.

Removed both disentegrated roof vents.Did away with the one on outer edge and covered with aluminum sheet.
Since I was replacing center vent I added a nice 3 speed fan.
Now that the roof holes are plugged I can start hanging the inside ceiling.

Finally got the ceiling installed.Used 1/4 inch pine tongue and groove.Finished the boards before installing,It was time consuming and a chore but hopefully when I look up at the ceiling at night it will be worth it.
