Camper repair update.

Replaced the original hot water heater with a brand new one and rebuilt the original avocado green toilet. What a learning experience that was! Still repairing leaks in the plumbing. Down to my last four minor leaks. Should be good to go by the spring of 2013. Then we can take this lovely crate on the road!

Getting close to looking like a camper again.

I tried to drop the position of the drip rails as low as I could so if and when I reside, there is some wiggle room to remove and re-seat the rails. If we reside, I am seriously considering plywood with a marine grade epoxy based kind of paint rather than aluminum or…
