    Today the rear insulation was covered by some "recycling material". The lines show where to find massive wood if it is necessary to find it while attaching the outside Aluminium panels. Who can find the mistake ? Yes, i forgot the wiring for the original rear lamp. But this is no big deal...

    Hello, we installed the propane tube to the kitchen area yesterday. Originally the Jayco-builders ran the tubes outside the camper. In Europe this is not the standard. Yes it is much easier to install all this outside :D But i don´t like the easy way: We prepared the cutout´s in the...
