How are you doing that?

I have a program called
Microsoft Picture it! Publishing. Came with my computer
I can tell it to get a color in the picture then change it's color so it looks like a drawing. Or trace around an area then give it a color. easy once you figure out the commands.
I've been doing a kids book using this, but desided to get it drawn professionally. I think most picture publishing programs do this.

Is that a closet or chair/storage space beside the stove top?
Legacy Posts
if there is room, it will be a closet. it's kind of tight, but it will just be for my dance clothes. and that is the only place I can find to put one. everything else will be in drawers under the bed. frig under the stove and heater under the sink, if I keep it, the heater not the sink.
Chairs?? I have to have chairs!! maybe in the car? I'm sure there will be adjustments as I work on it. triming down the stuff I take will be the big challenge.

Think twice about putting the range in an unvented corner, unless you have a screen door and maybe some sort of power exhaust vent. Or does your front window open? On my Scamp, that whole double decker bunk area is somewhat dead, ventwise.

There are marine vents intended for horizontal deck use that may or may not be suitable for vertical use. Some have solar.

The window opens. there are actually two. one for the bath and one for the stove. each work independent of the other. and If I'm remembering wrong, I'll put one in that will. My Tom said why do you need a stove anyway, you always cook outside, but I do use it a little, he just doen't know it. :) Thanks for the caution warning.

Cooking depends on the weather. I'm currently living in 40s F, so cooking heat, esp morning coffee, is welcome. Yea, verily, it is different in Summer!

if anyone needs any silicone, I appear to have extra.


it's this way on every window or opening of any kind.

it's obvious why I'm changing the floor. the rest is not so apparent, except the nice out of date fabric.

Thanks for sharing the interior of buttercup with us.....:thumb .
Did you change your mind about your rehab layout? Why did you take the other one down?
Darn, now I can't remember what it looked like and it is bugging me......put it back up, pretty please, so I can :bed tonight.

Ok, sorry I messed up while ago. but I just dumped then thought.
Oh well here it is (this is the one I dumped)
first plan

second plan

third plan and most liked at the moment. I may make the stove and sink moveable to the outside. we'll see.

Thanks Jana,
Comments on your floorplan first...while I remember them :chin ha ha.

I really like the second one best.....with the bathroom door at an angle and you have that little closet to the left of it, plus it puts your sink and stove in close proximity....I like it.:cblob

Your current plan doesn't show a closet door, could you maybe design the closet in that front left corner with a door leading from your bathroom? It would be a larger closet than #2 and still be full length.

Convertable kitchen.....my only warning is that with the wind pressure on the leading surface, won't you be very susceptable to leakage from wind pressure on the road? Plus, it will be awfully high when it tips out, or have you been practicing cooking on stilts?

Now, I wasn't really gettin on ya about nuttin (referring to a comment on another thread), but I'm really glad :banana you put it back up so I won't loose any sleep, and lord knows, I need all the beauty sleep I can get.:zz

Love Ya,
Karen

>>Now, I wasn't really gettin on ya about nuttin (referring to a comment on another thread),<<:conf You weren't ?? :huh Well there you go!! You should know I like talking what if on trailers. I like arguing a point or getting opinions I can think about. :)

I have to explain this kitchen outside part. I was going to put it on rollers, and roll it out. not swing it out. it's one of those possibles that I go to sleep with but usually just keeps me awake. I've made one before, but had a ramp and a larger door and never hooked it up inside. I would like this one hooked up inside part of the time. maybe a quick connect like Don (Pinecone) showed me once with his Buddy heater. The main reason is to create more sleeping space inside for certain times. right now it's not coming together, so probably won't. AND there is no closet in the second one. I could make curtains of clothes. hang them every where. as long as they weren't in my face when I slept. :lol like a gypsy caravan/trailer with the flowing fabrics everywhere.

Hey, that sounds like a great idea. But, like you said, the door needs to be a nice size to be able to roll it out without a great deal of trouble. I like the idea of cooking outside, but don't want to carry along one of the Colemans. I always wash dishes outside, so I could do without the sink inside.
Legacy Posts
We never even got around to checking out the built-in stove last year. We carry along a portable propane Coleman stove (slim version) and set it up on a table outside the camper. Gonna make the decision to pull out the sink and stove all the easier! Figure I'll cover the top of the counter in 1/2" plywood stained to match the rest of the woodwork. That will make it a much more useful counterspace which is all we use it for now anyway.

This has been a strange day.
I've had three wonderful things happen today.
1.. It's my Tom's 65th birthday. He has been ill, but is so much better you would not know he had ever been sick. so his birthday is a joy.
2. Today was the last of 18 chemo treatments my Tom had to take. He always said he would NEVER take chemo. but he did, for me, and no problems what so ever.
3. Now the third great thing that happens today is my 1000th post. Some may think this is strange making a big to-do about it, but this place has been a blessing in so many ways, I just had to say thanks. I put it in this thread, because it's the Surfside that let me find all these wonderful people.

now, I can get back to being my silly self, which I am much more comfortable with.:wave

Jana,

I also wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading your posts. They always cheer up my day! I'm looking forward to your next 1000, and the 1000 after that ...

Glad to hear Tom's feeling well. It was sure nice to see your photos.

Okay all you sweet adorable people, your chance to get your 1000 post in started yesterday, get post'en. :) I need pictures. I don't care what, pets, rigs, yourself. all of them. Tell me about your day and why you can't go camping, or why you did and where you went. If you got a new pair of shoes that work really well to drive in, or to wash the TT in. (guess we'd need a topic thread for shoes) I'm not picky, I just want to know it ALL. so tell every thing. :)

:wub I hope you know how special you are to me. Sorry that I wasn't here for your 1,000th post.

I always miss the good stuff. :o
