speedytriple Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I know it well Scott I lived there most of my childhood. My parents had a camper out there for almost 6 years. Great camp ground back in the day, been many years since I have been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Update: I got the drivers side stripped and re siliconed inside and out. I also stripped the old nasty contact paper off from behind the sink and stove area. New paper and a piece of wood replaced. Looks much better and sealed water tight inside and out now. Need some sleep will work on it later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I got to make a shelf for the closet still and finish up one window. I am also redoing all the drapes with some advantage camo ones. Then I will turn my attention to the truck, which needs the brakes done asap as they are very weak. It's coming along, I should have it done for shotgun season or before then I hope. Depends on how much work I get into on the truck...

speedytriple Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Ran out of paint cans! Lol then started working on the inside due to the rain we were getting. I still have half the truck to paint first. Kinda on the fence about painting the camper all black also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 The wife helped me make some curtains for it, and the inside is done now. I got everything inside working off 120 volt. I found a leak in a rubber hose on the propane tanks to the stove and furnace. Will have to replace the rubber lines. All I need to do now is the brakes on the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
