More Updates!

[April Wilcox]

So with all this rain we've been having, I have been working on fixing up a few mods on the inside of our trailer. I have added a front bunk flip up "table" top and a flip up counter top:




also covered the not so nice carpeting with some of that roll out plastic runner,




that I plan to cover with a 2x3 oriental style rug, for comfort.



I wanted a surface I could easily clean, and the carpet adds to the insulation so I didn't want to remove it. I figured this would be an easy solution, that can be easily removed if needed.
next in line is the upper cabinet and awning installation... come on sunny weather!!

Go Girl! I just started on Pearl and plan to add 3 tables like yours.

[April Wilcox]

Whew! I got the second set of LED brake lights installed today, glued them in the bottom corners of the back window (on the inside). Connected the wiring, and changed the 4 prong pigtail to a 5 prong so we can make the running lights work. Steadily moving along! I just love our trailer, still don't have a name for her yet. I'm sure that will come in good time.

April, where did you get the single support arm for the counter extension. The ones I had were too strong for the extension and wouldn't work.

[April Wilcox]

There are actually 2 supports under the counter extension, I guess only one is visible in the photo. I found them on line after googling "folding shelf bracket" and hitting the shopping feature.

We installed the awning rail and awning today I hope we can keep this momentum up! Next is the upper cabinets

[April Wilcox]

Got the screen room basically fitted around the new awning this morning. Seems to work well, not bad for $9.99 + shipping!! I am using the discounted ez up screen that I found on line last year, a portion has been removed to make what was my old screen door, till the zipper broke, then I used more of the excess screen to fill in the panels of the new screen door.

April, love what you are doing and the pop-up tables are a great idea. I too have put the plastic down and it works great. We call our little trailer Lucky as we were very lucky to find it and bought it from and man named Lucky.

We got one of the two upper cabinets installed today
Bit by bit, we're moving right along...

[CliveAlive]

Nice work!

What size awning is that? A 7' ?

[April Wilcox]

Thanks!

Yes, it's a 7' Trimline, and I sure am glad I didn't go for the 8', it would have been way too long. Our awning rail sticks up about 3" on both ends, due to the curve of the body.

[April Wilcox]

We got the upper dinette cabinets installed!

[April Wilcox]

Next we have started the prep for the 2 way fan install.




So far, I have measured 14in from the existing vent, then traced the square using the inside of the insert, cut the ensolite with a sharp blade, and peeled it back. I plan to save it for any patch work we might need to do in the future.




Before we cut the hole, we plan to get the wood for the spacer, build it and seal it up with fiberglass resin. We want to have everything ready to install before we make any cuts. I will post photos as we get more work done.

[April Wilcox]

Last night I added a small shelf with a suspended wire basket that slides in and out, which is held in place with a strong magnet (the basket not the shelf), and a paper towel holder on the right of the upper cabinet . Also put in this little wire, catch all shelf on the side of the closet, above the bed/dinette. Little by little... we are still working on getting the parts together to build the spacer for the 2 way fan.

[April Wilcox]

We got the 2 way, variable speed roof fan installed and it works great! I had to use my cell phone to get the pictures, so they are a little blurry.








and to top things off, our 3 way norcold 1.7 cu fridge showed up tonight! I know what we are doing this week.

[Pat B Ohio]

You go girl. Looks great!
It's great to see progress! I like the way you did the screen room set up.

[April Wilcox]

Thanks Pat.

As we were cutting a larger vent hole for the new 3 way fridge, I noticed the outline of the old Scamp logo under the black paint, so it is definitely a scamp. I don't know why I didn't see it sooner. I am considering trying to revive it, in a different paint color. We'll see if I find the time and patience to do it.

[Dale A Smith]

You go girl. Looks great!
It's great to see progress! I like the way you did the screen room set up.

I really like your screen room also... I couldn't tell if it covered the area between the ground under the trailer and the screened area... did you just cut a hole for the door to the trailer and fold it onto the threshold?
Thanks
Dale

April, I missed whether you built your own pop-up tables or found them somewhere. I'd love to put in one or two like that.
