LED Tailight Upgrade















Hunted around the web and finally found these LED turn/taillight components that are used on the backs of tractor trailers. There's a lot of different ones but these are nice because they are thin enough to fit perfectly inside the old stock lens. Looks like it's going to work well and I like the way the lights will look stock until they are lit!

Icebox, out-of-order














Stripped all the yucky foam off the icebox, looks like it will clean-up fairly easily. Hopefully we can re-insulate it with new foam that retains the cold at least as well as the old stuff.

One sided thinking













I'm toying with the idea of upgrading the tail lights to LED's and I think that I've found an LED module that will inside the existing Bargman lenses. I had a really hard time getting the old lenses off, ended up drilling out the rusted screws only to realize later that I could have backed them out from the inside since the panel is still off.

New material!



Got a great deal some cool fabric for the cushions and picked up a bunch of color chips to think about formica and the exterior colors.

Dinette to Bed conversion



We are planning on replacing the box spring seats with foam cushions but the slats won't support them as a bed. It looks like a slightly wider table could sit on the slat rails to support foam cushions but will there be enough clearance when set up as a table? I'll have to experiment and see if this will work, should be a more comfortable bed solution.

Removed Cabinet Doors, Drawers, and Appliances



Starting to clear stuff out to make room to work and so that we can refinish some parts in the basement. The camper feels a lot larger inside now, but the basement seems to be getting smaller.

Water Tank


The water tank looks to be in pretty good shape, but seems like it should be replaced with plastic.
