[img] https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/galleries/15022663[/img] Getting close, arranged a few furnishings, not everything is secured down but at least on place. Used fishing poles and ski poles for curtain rods, pipe for towel rack. Elk horns for hat and coat racks. It's coming together. Wasn't sure how the ceiling would turn out, but I really like how it blends with the floor and the cedar in between. Kent

Windows work fine surprisingly, 4 screens need redone, I took the window out of the door, it functioned fine so I put it back in.
I'm trying to keep this vintage as much as possible.

Thanks I under stand now. If I go through one as hot as it is here when we start hunting good windows and lots of insulation as well as a small ac is almost a must have.

Well winding down, will probably always tinker with it but the major work is complete. Electrical fuse box and panel, 12v for an inverter, TV also can plug in, usb ports for phone charging, volt meter. Installed new vent. When family camping the grandkids can watch dvds sitting on the cot. Not sure yet how to cover the wheel wells so leaving them as is for now. Turned out as good as I could do winging it.

Ya got skills it looks great. This is a camp trailer and no bathroom, I have 18 inches under the cot to put a portapoty for the women and kids. That said if I was to do another for family camping, I'd find one with a corner bathroom, 20 ft, and leave that in, water tank and holding tanks, then gut the rest... Maybe next year... Kent
