First section of interior wall polished.
So pretty, I can see my reflection in it.


Dave is installing the new inverter/charger.
We relocated it from the front of the trailer by the door,
to the back of the trailer under the bed. Once we get
solar panels, we will install the battery bank under the bed.


Dave again helping with new tow light hookups.
Our old hookups were outdated so we need to update
for when we relocate the trailer next weekend.


Carolyn's face dirty from buffering interior aluminum.

  1. Hey; Cool pics, thanks for posting your progress. I'm doing the same sort of thing as well. Take a look at my blog and my web site for lots of pics of my progress. I'm curious about a part of your AS though. What is that large awning that is sticking up over you Vista window? I've never seen anything like that.
    Here's my links for your viewing pleasure...

    Thanks again.
