You did a nice job with your cushions. The early Compacts had a curtain rod at the top and bottom of the back window. The only reason I can think of for this is because the back window area has a curve to it and maybe the bottom rod keeps it close to the window at the bottom. It think yours look good hanging loose. The bottom rod might keep the curtain out of the back of someone's hair, lol... I'm just not sure exactly what the advantage would be other than looks.

Thank you She did the cushions I got to give all the sewing credit. lol I would have it all sideways. We ended up making rear curtain a little shorter and let it hang looks good
Now I think were going to take on the task of pulling all the windows, trim, lights, etc. and epoxy some holes. Time for some paint on the outside. I've got to paint strip all the windows frames where they painted EVERYTHING on the camper before we got it. We already stripped a lot of little things that are easy to take off

also took out the window unit when we first got it not really my style hanging off the side like it was. thinking of relocating it under the camper and have it run up threw some dryer ducts or whatever its called. I've been looking for a window the right size but no luck yet so I made one until I can find a jalousie that I like. its nothing fancy angle iron with some tabs and plexiglass. gets the job done for now.  |

Beautiful Kenstoy! I love the color for the outside you have chosen. When I first did our back curtains I let them hang but they fall just under the back cushion for the bed/couch and I also noted when we are sleeping and whoever is by the window rolls over it rustles the curtains a bit so this year I am going to do something to attach them to the wall, maybe a velcro tab or something. looking forward to see the final pics.

Wonderful! Remember, once you get it on the road, to build a half hour into your travel time each day because every time you stop, people will want to ask you questions and have a tour.

Finished installing the trailer brake wires an controller on the International had to go test everything it works great these trailers are so light I had to set it on 24% any higher and it was way to hard of braking I guess I'm use to my dually pulling heavy car trailers  |
