Some of the hard part was finding things that had been fixed and
redueing them. You couldn't see it till we started banging out other stuff then the old body filler started to fall out. Here
its almost an inch thick.

Just finished the new upholstery for the bed. I wanted to
keep it in vinyage style but not 70's plaid colors. I went with an Americana print called "Quigley Colonial". I like the name.
New counter top added where the sink top was.
convienient side table is removeable for easy storage behind the
seat it measures 24'x24"

corner after old filler is removed and dent is pulled out
More surprises.When we pulled the bumper we found the rust. "Its
OK we can fix that" my new slogan. Ive said it so many times I own it.
We cut it out, cleaned it up, treated it, and welded in new sheet
metal. Compliments of a caravan. Seemed fitting.
We designed these panels special
for my needs. I hate to be on a long road trip without all I need at my reach. I added side pockets and leatherette armrests
that I took off a Mercedes in the junkyard. They come in handy for glasses and little stuff like CD's, driving instructions,
FRS radio and snacks.
Newly re-done seats in blue two-tone tweed and vinyl.
Shown here is the underside. It slides into brackets on the panel
behind the seat and the leg unscrews for storing
