I decided to do a few upgrades.  The camper now has AC    I put it under the bed platform.  The camper wouldn't have looked right with a window unit hanging out the side of it.  I put a small drain pan under it for the condensation.  It drains out the bottom of the floor.  I'll leave the back door partly open to allow the exhaust to escape.  It's working great so far. 







I'm also working on a slide out kitchen unit for the back.  I have it framed up.  Tomorrow I'll get the plywood on it and install the sink.  I plan on having running water.  I have a couple ideas on how to do it.  I will have to remove the kitchen and AC when I am fully loaded at the Classic.



I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Looking good Clint!
I'm sure the wife will love it.
My wife says that I need to make her one just like it.

I did a little more work on the kitchen unit.  I got it skinned, stained, and painted.  I used the dark stain that didn't work out for the inside of the camper.  The paint is some industrial exterior epoxy that I had leftover from the original RR.  I also did a test fit with the sink.  I wanted to use a smaller sink but I got a deal on this one that I couldn't pass up.  Now I need to make the cabinet doors and do some plumbing and trim work.

Wow, bud!  Have been to some Ramada's that weren't nearly as nice as what you're creating.

The wife must have liked it better than I thought.  She is planning a week long road trip for next summer already.

Is she planning on taking you :o :laugh:

I put a second thick coat of white paint on the top and made some cabinet doors for it today.  All the hard work is done.  It just needs trimmed out and the plumbing hooked up.

I'm not to crazy about how the hinges look but I'm trying to keep the budget as low as possible on this project.  I didn't feel like spending a lot on special cabinet hinges.

Coming along nicely, Clint. Can you put the hinges to the inside? ...or just paint them.

You could say that it needs to be the third week of July and you have to make a trip through Marshall Missouri.   >:D
Her and my wife could go hit all the flea markets! Then come back to camp and enjoy some homemade apple pie!  >:D

Just a small suggestion.
