Steve - I have been enjoying your photos. It has been great to watch the transformation of your trailer. The craftsmanship is incredible. Hoping to have a chance to see it in person some day.

Outside pics

Adding some pics taken after getting some details finished.The beds are 30x80 inch.After pricing that size cot mattress (expensive) decided to try cutting a queen 60x80 inch mattress in two.Turned out pretty good
and was cheaper than just one cot mattress.Dear wife was going to make some curtains but we found some we liked on Amazon cheaper than buying fabric to make them.Used a drop leaf table for dinette with the
grey cubes for seats that double for storage.Original Thetford toilet would fit behind sliding barn door but upgraded to a Thetford curve version that is bigger and wouldn't fit in that space.The retro clock gets a lot of compliments.Put in a 32inch tv/dvd player on back wall for movies.Over all pleased with it.

Nice choice! It looks great and is a nice finishing touch. Worth the effort I think. I wonder if fold out crank handles would work on the windows?

Yes Marilyn they do crank out.One of these days need to clean and lubricate window mechanisms as they are stiff to turn.
I used pvc trim on interior.Light weight,cheap ,easy to cut and no painting if you leave it white.About the only things left is hanging some blinds and buying a couple of mattresses.Thanks to all the compliments and encouragement.Oh,planning to bring it to the fall event!

Time to trim out the windows.Have some of the original trim but not for all windows.Decided to use metal right angle for suspended ceiling border.Alot cheaper than buying aluminum angle.Used some 1 1/2 inch pvc lattice
around the outside.Looks pretty good but it is time consuming (lotsa measuring and cutting).

I loved that camper!

[SteveC]

Thanks for the compliments Marilyn and Mark and others.Some people have detailed CAD drawings and spread sheets but I just winged it.Built a teardrop a few years ago and definately overthought it! So
tried not to over think this project.Sold teardrop a couple of years ago just too small for us now.

Steve - you are a true craftsman. This looks fantastic!

[MEBerberich]

Steve, this is so cool! You are very creative. Love it!!!!

Found this induction surface unit with 2 burners.Can be used on countertop or cutout and flush with countertop.Haven't decided which yet.Usually cook outside so if sitting on counter would be easier to use outside.
Haven't cooked on it yet but it'll boil a pot of water lickity split!

[SteveC]

Added a shelf above the counter.Installed 3 small lights underneath and outlet on top for a toaster oven maybe.Not planning to put anything heavy on it but seemed a little saggy so used some shower rod holders from ceiling to shelf.

[SteveC]

Built some doors for under the counter area.Used some sliding door hardware.

[SteveC]

Used a small 1.5 gallon electric water heater with quick disconnects to remove and drain.Gotta build some doors to hide everything.

[SteveC]

Not sure if a recessed sink would be too low with the counter height so used this vessel style sink with a waterfall faucet.

[SteveC]

Didn't have any room above counter {due to windows}.Found these pop up outlets that raise and retract.Put one on each side of the sink.

[SteveC]

The kitchen area is across the front of camper.Used an IKEA style put together drawer cabinet on one side and frig on the other.

[SteveC]

This is looking great!! Great job!

Thank you.Too hot to do yard work.Been working in the camperr with the AC on!

[MEBerberich]

This is looking great!! Great job!

[SteveC]

Used some LVP plank on the floor.A bit heavier than linoleum but only took a couple of boxes.Only used in walking areas.

[SteveC]

Built the counter top for kitchen area.Covered it with some boomerang pattern formica.First attempt laying down formica and turned out pretty good

[SteveC]

Back to the drawing board!While working in the trailer with air conditioner on for an extended time I found the exhaust blower was not moving enough air to vent the heat out causing the compressor to shut off.Installed a different blower to move more air.Definitely moving more air.Hope this does the trick.

That linear actuator is a great idea that I might have to steal sometime! Is it a kit with the controls and actuator, or items purchased separately?

Thanks. It was pretty easy to do. The components were bought seperate but I think you can buy a kit.
