Very cool! I love the idea of the table going onto the cutting board. May have to steal that My couch up front is actually a gaucho too. Clicks and pops out to make into a duble bed. Your trailer looks fantastic. Isnt this site great that we can share all of this!

A few more pics as it takes shape. Couch, which turns out into a double bed recovered with turquoise marine fabric. Friendly for dogs

The turquoise is perfect. It just works. Our dog has to stay on the floor since my son (now 6'-2") take up the whole gaucho.

I noticed that you have three holes on the counter at the back of the stove. I have the same three holes and I assumed that a former owner had moved the sink and they were left over from the faucet re-do. Now I wonder if they are supposed to be a vent.

I'd love to see the after photos as well.

And yes, this site has been great. The knowledge base is so great and I've learned so much. Much easier than screwing up and learning the hard way.

Bob

My wife was looking at your photos and noticed that your closet is only one door wide (with mirror). We have a closet with two doors. I wonder if your cabinet/closet space is shorter to allow the front bed to come out to a full double. Our front bed only slides out about 12 inches. So far it's enough for my son.''

I get a kick out of the subtle differences from trailer to trailer. I wonder how much you could personalize them when you ordered one new.
