The motorhome is currently in the shop to be painted according to the "photoshopped" simulation shown here. It also has a complete new set of tires put on in March 2010.
Interior
The missing couch cushions behind the drivers seat was replaced with a futon mattress which fits perfectly. Where the other couch was totally missing, I put in cabinets on that whole wall with a custom counter tape painted with orange that was matched to the color of the other counter top around the kitchen sink and stove. I also put carpet in.
Customization
The interior has been optimized for use as an art studio/craft studio/office/hang out, mainly by putting in the cabinets.
Systems and Running Gear
I worked on the original Onan 4kw generator to get it working to near perfection, and then decided it wasn't quiet enough so I sold it and bought a Honda 2kw generator. The generator is now located in the generator compartment.
The original air conditioner didn't cool so I replaced it with a Coleman Polar Cub 9000 btu air conditioner. This one can run on my 2kw generator.
I replaced the original Univolt with a new 30A converter. This one can run on my 2kw generator.
Other Information
Although I decided against these color schemes for the motorhome's new paint, I have added the "Photoshopped" simulations of other color schemes I created. The scheme I am going with is the yellow one shown above. The green and purple ones I never seriously considered - I just wanted to see what it would look like.
