The camper renovation went into high gear this weekend. Hawkins had his plumber friend come out to help him. They stayed focused long after I went home. By night fall they had the toilet installed and water coming into the trailer.
With a little urging Hawkins decided to remove the useless cabinets over the kitchen area. They were mainly housing the light and oversized exhaust fan with a smidgeon of space for a few glasses or cups. After banging our heads on it enough in one day he took the crowbar to it. There's plenty of storage under the platform bed. Besides, this is mainly a weekend trailer for short trips. And, there's the Denali with a huge cargo area for the overflow. 😎😎
The interior wall covering is a heavy vinyl. Not wonderful but serviceable. I scrubbed it pretty well yesterday and years of dirt came off easily. The manufacturers used a boatload of rivets to hold the trailer together. The beautiful avocado green towel holder is even riveted to the wall. That will definitely go away soon!
Just when I thought I might close my Poshmark closet I sold one of my wall hangings. It's always been a favorite and I hope the new owner feels the same way. I stitched it circa 2012 with some machine embroidered birds.

Congratulations on the sale! The trailer is undergoing a lot of work right now, but it will definitely be nice when you two are finished.

DeleteHawkins has big ideas but we’re in agreement at this stage to do the basics and see where that takes us. Since we are only using it for short weekend trips it should be perfect. Or, at least we’ll find out!
It’s fun watching the metamorphosis happen. I saw a program on TV where a guy bought an old school bus and gutted it to make a camper. It was really something when he finished. Congratulations on selling the “wall hanging.”
ReplyDeleteHawkins brought home a catalog from the RV store when he bought the new water heater. It's about 6" high! A person could lay down a chunk of change if so inclined. We are trying to stay minimal for now. Less stress and mess! That's our story anyway. :-)
DeleteVery fun stuff!
