Looks real good. I may steal that idea. I had been thinking of keeping anything that should be locked in the compartment behind the upper right turn signal. This idea makes for more storage. Good job!

thanks, any ideas you can use please feel free, i know what you mean about storage. that recessed glove compartment area with no door has always bugged me for some reason.

thanks Nat, i know it isn't a lot to get done, but every little bit helps. besides this is my rest period before the big change coming up next. I'm going to use super strut and all-thread to hang my tanks pretty soon.

Repaired and finished setting up the awning today. Had to get creative doing it by myself. the thing is heavy and awkwark

[proconsul100]

I installed a RV window awning this weekend i torsion the springs at 7 turns. I'm not able to fully open the awning due to a tree thats in the way. I also scrubbed the roof which was caked on with pollen and dirt. i also cleaned the interior to prepare for the next phase of work.

Looks real nice, especially the inside details.

Isn't that our usual lament?

With these rigs, even when they are "completed"...they are never really "finished".

thats the truth, my goal this year is to get it complete enough to take it somewhere

Looks nice I like it.

another small addition today. I was going to build an end table for the sofa today, but i found a small cabinet that is exactly the right width at habitat for humanity re store. i made a top for it out of plywood, sanded and rounded the edges, and cut a hole for a cup holder. i tried staining it but the color looks like crap. i think I'm going to hit the whole thing with Rustoleum before i mount it to the floor. i just need to choose an appropriate paint color.















photo makes it look crooked, perhaps i moved while taking it:

That color is worse than crap. Maybe it is just the light. Matching the cabinet front or the rail would have been nice. It looks like you have three colors going on there, rail, cabinet and top. If not, could you strip the cabinet and match it to the rail/top?

[HolyBus]

Sorry, I just returned from a 2 hour drive in tourist traffic for a 15 minute oil change in my wife's car.

i agree, and i don't think it is the light. you have a good point about the railing as well. i need to make it a unified color and try to match the railing next to it. other than the color it seems like it will function well.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I know the feeling.

Re-doing things on a skoolie project seems to be the norm, at least it is for me. Don't worry, you'll get it to the point and color you like and things will great.

Thanks BC, im going to try to figure out a way to get as close to the railing color as possible today, and at least make the cabinet less of an eye sore.

[proconsul100]

i painted the cabinets a Kona brown that i had so that it is less of an eyesore. not quite a match, but it looks better ill probably change it later:
