Hi Kent, you are absolutely right.
The spacers are one more Tumbleweed-typically well thought out detail. Imagine you’re driving with the trailer in rainy weather… increased venting behind the surface helps to dry the outer lining faster and prevents from rot on the inside.

What an awesome new Fencl btw. I wished I could give Jay a helping hand or two…

Cheers from Germany, Kai

I believe you could do it directly over the Tyvek wrap, but the carpenter said something like it allowed the wood to breath or something along that idea. Let me verify that when I go out there next time as don’t want to lead you incorrectly.

Very cool! Refering to the top picture, what is the purpose of the vertical wood strips over the Tyvek wrap? It seems like you could just place the siding over the wrap without the strips.
