Progress Update: Varnishing is complete and I’ve been installing hardware. It’s difficult to take pictures of the camper at this stage because it’s soooo glossy. Aside from the gas springs not providing enough lift the hardware install has been simple and straight forward.
Hinges look great. In hind sight I should have tried to fill the precut hinge holes with wood instead of epoxy.
CLC didn’t mention it in the manual but I highly recommend flame polishing the edges of the window plexi glass.
I opted for 2 Cam locks.
The 2 cam locks engage the u-bolts that are bolted through the original galley top. A simple adjustment on the height of the U-bolts will affect how tightly the hatch is held down when locked.
