    While not as palatial as the other rigs: It got some use: and the dog liked it: Just chucked a block of ice in the fridge for now, so still need to figure that out, but the Mr. Heater worked great. Too bad the weekend ended early with this though:

    Thanks for the tip Rusty, I've used the Krylon plastic paint with success before; for this I think I'll probably borrow some of my son's Testor's model paint. You can't really tell from the pics, but the plastic is really UV degraded; I'm going to thin some epoxy and put on a couple thin coats...

    Thanks for the replies. I'm definitely keeping a fridge but need to figure out a way to test it before I get too far along. Maybe I can figure out a way to borrow one of the propane tanks from my TT...... Unrelated, working on fixing the emblems; they were mostly there, just needed a little...

    Thanks guys. I'm going to paint the lower end walls white; mainly b/c there is some rot there that I plan on fixing with a combination of epoxy and scribed in patch panels in lieu of replacing the whole piece. Figure some Kilz primer to hide the stains then some gloss white should look pretty...

    So i've been giving this some more thought, and came up with the possibility of installing a 2 to 3 ft. conduit from the bottom of the topside cabinet along the roof, that will slide down into the bottom cabinets when lowered and act as a chase for the wiring. SInce this is going to be used...

    So after ripping out the old paneling, turns out that it's the same thing as the luaun at Dunn lumber, dimensionally anyways: Last of the side sheets going in: Now to move on to the wiring.....any suggestions for how to modernize? I think I want to use a conventional 5-pin connection from...

    Hey Marty, thanks for the reply. I've used door skin from HD before, for the panel in some cabinet frames, no way that will bend; it's stiff. One of the "upscale" lumberyards around here has doorskin as well, but they're only in 84"x36" sheets; guess that they only think they'll be used for...

    Hi all - Just picked up what I think is a late 60's, early 70's 10' NCOE: I've wanted one for a while, a lot more manageable when it's just me and the boy, than hauling a trailer. A little (lot) more rot than I initially thought (not my first camper rodeo, so I wasn't too surprised, just...
