One year later: It's still a work in progress, but she's almost done!

Slow But Steady Progress
I have been making some advances on the interior. I have also been working a little on the exterior. Though undocumented, I have repainted the tongue and installed a new jack. She also sports a new aluminum propane tank and custom mounting bracket. The rear bumper has also been beefed up and painted.
A huge milestone was reached over the Labor Day weekend: I pulled it out of the garage onto the driveway and slept in it for two nights!
Closet on right is roughed in. |
Have yet to make the window/screen frames. |
The curtain material is only temporarily pinned up. |
This is the material I have chosen to make the curtains from. Have yet to make them since I don't know how to sew! |
Working on the cabinet front and drawers now. |
I still need to finish trimming out the floor. |
The counter top and table will be laminated in turquoise. |
New vinyl cushions are being made by my upholstery shop as we speak. |
She was far enough along to camp for two nights in the driveway. Bonfire and all! |

Vinyl Flooring
I got the new vinyl floor installed over the weekend with the help of Tony Otis. The wiring is now roughed in too. Now it is time to insulate!

Framing Completed
I have completed re-building the interior framing for the rear of the trailer. I also had to repair a portion of the left front as well. Time to get the wiring roughed in!
Rear |
Rather than try to duplicate the intricate original framing, I elected to use 3/4" OSB. |
The OSB plywood will be much stronger and self insulating. |
Front corner repair. Note original framing method. |
