Here we go! Almost, almost finished, there's just a couple of little items to take care of..................
it is always like that so I'm just going to declare it completed, finished, 'nough said. It is time to get this great camper out into the wild.
After work yesterday I installed all the finished cabinet face frames. The Lady and I had our afternoon cup of Peets sitting in wonder in our new home away from home. The Lady said it seemed like a long time. I pointed out the real dates. "What was it, about the middle of October that we made the decision about getting a new camper? Now it is December 12th and were sitting in our completed new camper. That is, I think, a pretty incredible time frame." The Lady agreed, but I could tell in her eyes, no matter how much fun we had with this project she would much rather be out on an adventure.
With further testing the thermostat is working fine. The igniter on the SMEV stove was a bit balky on working. The new stove has a cover around the bottom of the stove, not near as user friendly to us who want to jump in, figure things out, and fix it. The igniter has been working flawlessly the last couple of days without my need to gut it. Maybe it has resolved itself. That doesn't happen often, but just maybe this time.
The last couple items are to try a new valve on the water tank drain and install the Wave 3 heater. I have a neat idea for the Wave 3 and excited to get on with that. The Lady says, "The furnace is working fine, where do you want to go!!!!"
We are planning a little christening ceremony on Sunday. Bubbly may be involved but I don't think anyone is banging this new camper with a bottle.
