October update- getting LOTS done !

I have been working steadily on the camper,

plugging away at the many things needing to be completed.

Here's a run down:

I finally got my new refrigerator installed (well-at least it's in place). 

I am so happy- 

as it took lots of reconfiguring of the cabinet it goes in.

I even added a new front for the door- made from my shellacked birch wood-

to match the camper's wood. 

Love the look!

I installed all of my 12v fixtures 

and am just about finished running the wires for them all. 

12v is basically powered by an on-board battery

vs. plugging into an electric source at a campground.

So, with 12v, I can have lights, water (pump), the ceiling fan, 

and a few charge ports for when I am 'boon-docking'

ie: camping off-grid (no electric).

I installed 2 - 12v ceiling lights-

and a 12v adjustable reading light above my bed:

I added a 12v switch for my porch light 

(which is in my door handle- my brother is currently cleaning this up) :

and a 12v charging port for electronics.

            .          

and I ran all of these 12v wires to the electric power center-

yet to be installed-which will go under the front bench.

I also installed my FINAL wall panel !

With this one in place, the walls and ceiling are completely done!

The camper is finally all closed up. 

Can I hear a 'Whooop Whooop'!!!  

Ha ha ha!

Many, many hours went into finishing these panels- 

so this is a HUGE accomplishment for me :)

                       

( The clamps are holding the newly made

front window frame in place as it is glued to the wall panel.

Finally, I am just about done adding insulation to the sides.

I have used a combo of fiberglass ( as I had some around)

and foam board (which is nicer to work with).

         

I also started insulating the roof with a product called Reflectix- 

basically a 'bubble wrap' insulation which is easier to get around the curves.
(Front metal in place just for motivation:)

After insulation, I will install a vapor barrier over the entire camper,

and then can start to work on replacing the aluminum 'skins'.

I truly cannot believe I am getting to that point!

Of course- still lots to do inside.  

But, I really have been getting lots done, 

and am so happy with the progress thus far.  

Come November, it will be a year since I brought the camper home.

I cannot believe it looked like this less than 12 months ago!  

                                              

                                                       

I am still getting LOTS of help from Larry (Mobiltec)-

as I still virtually attend his classes every week.

I ask him lots of questions- and take lots of notes.

I also ask tons of questions on the Vintage Trailer Forum-

as there is always someone willing to help out when I need it.

Couldn't be doing this without the help of many.    

We've come a long way, baby !!!

That's for sure :)
