Gutting The Inside
The first part of the project is stripping out the interior so that it can be rebuilt. I have elected to remove the lower
cabinet doors on the kitchen side. I plan to make a few shelves for the fridge, microwave, and Television. The front curve
will be duplicated and they will be covered in grey caprpet.
The strap in the foreground is the release strap for the upper bunk.
The upper bunk consists of a fabric overlay on top and a padded cardboard panel on the bottom side. The upper needs to
be replaced with a solid surface. The underside was in bad shape after 618,000 miles of smoke abuse.
| Front of Bunk Support |
|
The front of the bunk support has a cable actuated mechanism to release it from the upper hold downs. Once the fabric
has all been removed, be careful, the tension on the upper fabric is used a spring the slow the descent of the upper bunk
once the latch is released.
| Rear Corner Bunk Support |
|
The rear corner has a hinge mechanism about 6" away from the wall. The platform will need to be designed to fold into
the existing cavities.
| Future Dinette Area |
|
The lower bunk area will be rebuilt into a dinette/office area. As it stands now it is an assymetric "U" configuration.
The side behind the passenger is 8" deeper than the side behind the driver. The large bin on that side has been removed
as it will be unaccessable once the seats are in. Two seats w/ seatbelts and a dinnette table will be the focus in this
space. The dinette table will have space for two people, it will have pockets for map books and folded maps. A 110ac
outlet will be available as will a 12v socket. The co-pilot should bable to sit here and run full GPS mapping SW on the fly
when necessary.
