BEAN's (1988 Perris Pacer) Reno--Pics!!
Well, we've finally gotten to that magical place where we can say we're "done" (but we all know THAT never happens!) But we are at the place where we went camping with Ricky 4 this past weekend and can look forward to the Arkansas Rally in Sept.
Thanks to EVERYONE who helped--with advice, ideas, warnings, good wishes, etc. This Website rocks and the people are wonderful!
Awning complete with netting, shade panel, valance and lights

Happy camping Vickie! I KNOW it's been a long road for you... but look at the results

Behind the seat backs of the dinette is storage: one side holds the bedding for the front bed, the other side hold the night-time Uriwells and whatever else. On the backs of the seat backs I attached shoe holders for more storage: games, etc.

The removal of the fridge, stove, and furnace gave me this wonderful new storage!

Vickie, this is fabulous! The awning is completely brilliant, and who would have thought of making storage behind dinette seats?? Beautiful job!

Great work. I know how you feel as I have just about run out of things to do with my reno. The only thing left on my list is an awning. I have been out camping three times and it is great. I hope you enjoy your "new" trailer as much as I am enjoying mine.

BTW: all mods are removeable/reversible and we are keeping all parts taken out. (Front bunk, stove, fridge, furnace, cabinet doors and latches ----tho a couple doors are not so useable--) Gas lines left in---but cut back where necessary.
OK--maybe we can't reverse cutting the front couch into a dinette but it still functions as couch/bed/dinette/bunk. So it's all good!
And, no, I didn't keep the wall carpet or the Evaporative Cooler (that was replaced by the Fantastic Fan). But you get the idea---------
Flying to Fresno tomorrow for a week---- --wanted to take the camper, but would have had to take extra week off work for travel time, and DH is still a bit nervous about traveling with the camper. I keep telling him--you all do it! How about that Melissa---she's no chicken!!!
