    I flipped the whole door frame. Luckily for me, I put the window in upside down the first time, so my mistake worked out in my favor this time.

    A hair dryer goes a long ways installing the trim. I did not figure that out until after my fingers were super sore.

    Flipped the door. I will be more relaxed knowing that the door cannot be left open. I now know which butyl tape is worse to scrap off, old crusty butyl or new gooey butyl. Brand new tape is worse to remove.

    Amazing work on the videos. Taking the time to do these videos is a public service. I have been looking for a video that walks me through the shoreline/12v converter wiring for my used converter. Haven’t found a online diagram or video yet. A headliner video would be great and a rooftop...

    Unless, I am pass out drunk.... My wife has the camper who is cold all the time and leaves it on with the door open. But ya, I don’t plan on leaving the door open with the furnance going. Maybe I will flip the door, but I was getting pretty excited about not having to scrap any more Butyl Tape.

    So just realized, that my door will swing and block the furnace exhaust. Am I gonna accidentally burn the thing down by being a dumbass???? I could flip the door around if I needed to. I will have a door stop, that will keep the door away a few inches.

    Is your just garage just as trashed as mine? This small working space drives me insane.

    Thanks for sharing those awesome ads. Butyl Tape showed up today, I bought 2 30’ rolls online. It should be enough.

    Thanks for the background. Do you know where in Colorado the Rowe family started FWC? I am guessing Denver, but I tried looking but couldn’t find anything. I know that Wildernest Campers was owned by Lowe Alpine, and started in Boulder.

    The bottom bunk is 5’X6.6’. With tons of room underneath for action packers etc... This is probably how I will travel, so I still have access to the back window, although I am sure I wont be able to see anything out the back anyway.

    Have a recliner couch for watching movies with the family. Need one more hinge. I bought a springed hinge, but did not end up using it. Went to the local Habitat for Humanities and paid $1 a hinge, so that was pretty nice for a change.

    One of the biggest hurdles when deciding to pull the trigger on a FWC, was having 3 beds. My daughter is 16 years old, and climbs, rafts, desert explores with us. She is practically 6’ tall. So she gets the upper bunk. 4x6.5’ I needed to build a bed for my wife and I and the lower section...

    Saved the badge. This is the only reason that I believe this camper is from 1978, but the badge was issued by the Colorado Division of Housing. Kinda Funny. I guess it could be older?

    I have one coat around the whole FWC, Maybe tomorrow get another coat on there. But really I am waiting on the Butyl Tape in the mail. I cant even tell if I am typing that word right half the time.
