I got the silver-streamer ready enough to go on its maiden voyage of the July 4th weekend. It was rather uneventful, and the new layout worked awesome! I installed maple laminate floors in the front along with an oak dinette that converts to a King size bed! New custom cushion foam, and upholstery. I learned how to sew and made the covers myself! I also sewed new curtains for the front and rear. I scored big on ebay and got 20 yards of premium upholstery fabric for $40! I also removed the...

Well it has been a while but the weather has been nice enough to get some work done. I have finished gutting all of the furniture and have removed all lower interior panels so I can begin on floor replacement. Many leaks have been found along the way! It appears all of the vista views are leaking through the glass. The Front and Rear windows both are leaking from the installation seams (I think). The awning mount has a leak, and the fridge vent has a leak. There also appears to be many leaks...
