Saaayy, Look what followed us home today!
It came with a couple of boxes of Hardwood flooring, so we temporarily installed it to see what it is like, turned out pretty nice, so will probably pull it up and do it right. Cushions are going to be replaced, so they are in plastic bags for now. More photos. Pretty much going to have to stop for the winter now...
Oh!! Nice Sunrise Friday Morning!! Cool!!
Thanks for looking, Dave and Brenda

Saaayy, Look what followed us home today!
Well, The Snow never came, so I had a chance to go out and putter around a bit again. Found some things that were changed, very well, but but changed, at least as near as I can figure. I actually quite like all the changes, but thought I would document them here for future reference and to see if anybody has any input as to the similarities I have seen in other pictures.
First off, there are 2 overhead cabinets above the Stove and sink, a heat shield was added below the stove one for obvious reasons. The Light above the sink is moved to the bottom of the new bin above the sink and the original shelf seems to be inside the bin.
Next, There is a complete lower level added to the overhead cabinet along the street side wall, with 2 making 2 compartments.
Then there is a Dinette in the front, I know this is not factory, but I have seen a few other pictures that look pretty much the same. I realize there is a limited number of ways to do this, but I am wondering if there was a set of Plans or something available for this modification. Pardon the plastic bags on the cushions, new foam and fabric are on the way.
Also, there is a shelf above the front window.

In the bathroom/shower the water taps are above the window height, which seems different from what I have seen, most are near the floor, but I have only seen a pic of California ones, so maybe this is correct... Anyone? Also, the wall is wrapped in Vinyl, is this right?
I wasn't sure about the shelves in the closet as they look pretty weak, but again, I have seen others that look the same... Anyone?
Thanks for looking, Dave and Brenda

Quick update, The cushions are here!! We just put them in for a Photo or two, but the quality is really high! Very happy with them, the Fabric was our choice, I think they fit the trailer's "Feel" very well! Still need to figure out what to do on the wood just below the bed and benches, might see if I can get the same fabric we used on the seat backs, the stripped ones.
Thanks, Dave and Brenda

Nice look, I like it a lot.
Are the solid colour (blue) cushions a sort of crushed velvet with a geometric pattern in them? I don't believe I've ever seen anything quite like that.

Blue fabric is actually a type of Corduroy with a different line pattern in it, meaning not typical stripes, if you know what I mean.
Here is a close up Picture of the material.

Very nice trailer! Did you replace the foam in your cushions as well? Did you purchase the material and cover the cushions yourself? That is on our list of things to do.

The fabric has a retro feel to it. Well done! Cool pattern.

Yes, we bought the Fabric ourselves, then when looking for Foam I found an ad for a Very nice and very talented Lady who redoes cushions, so we got her to sew the covers and get and Cut the Foam. PM me if you need contact info. They are very well done, we are very happy with the Job!
Thanks, Dave and Brenda

Hi Everyone, It has been a while since I have been back. I am trying to get this little guy on the road for the 13th and I need to get a set of Tires, these ones are old and cracking etc. Soooo, The ones on there are 165/70 HR 13's. Should I replace them with similar? Any suggestions on Make and Model?? Best place to buy? Pretty similar everywhere?
Thanks in advance! Dave and Brenda
