Before and After
As the 1st anniversary of my relationship with the aluminum behemoth approaches, I thought I'd post some progress pictures.
This is the Main Cabin as purchased.

Close up of Mirror
Humidity Indicator at Top.
The clock is also an inside/outside thermometer. Remote temp transmitter is in the fridge - gives a continuous temperature readout of the adult beverages within the interior of the dometic.

Dennis,
Wow - It looks really great! I'm up to my elbows in mess right now so it's good to see you can come out the other side looking good!
Keep up the good work.
PS - where did you get those window shades?

15 bucks apiece - took a chance and it paid off.

Beautiful job, Dennis. I'm in the midst of a long remodel job myself, so it's nice to see what someone can do with an old A/S. Enjoy your coach.

WOW!!! That is beautiful. I read alot on this forum but this has compelled me to talk. I believe it is nicer than my home. I know you will enjoy it. That is the kind I want to buy when I get my classic motorhome, one that has been redone and I can drive away in it! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Real nice job. Any idea how much added weight has been put on? I figured some day in the future, I too might be interested in adding some corain or something.

Weight – Pergo and Granite
The Pergo “Prodigy” line weighs 32#’s per 18.5 sq. foot carton. 6 cartons (less carpet weight) added about 150 lbs. The granite, at 180#’s per cubic foot added about 150 lbs. (after remeasuring thicknesses), so I have a net weight increase of about 300 lbs for these two items. Not much of a penalty for the pleasure and convenience derived.
I weighed the unit when I first purchased it, and will reweigh it after I install the pre-lube and additional AMSOIL filters, new dash, and entertainment center. I saved about a hundred pounds by not reinstalling the barrel chairs or curb side table.
Thanks to all for the compliments.
