One set of curtains up. Looks great. Wife likes fabric. Where did you get it?

I ordered the curtains from Walmart.com. I ordered four panels (84" long) and cut them down, remaking the top on some panels and the bottom on others. I needed 14 small panels counting the kitchen window. It was a lot of sewing for someone who is not a seamstress!

A little color make a big difference. We had a larger bumper made than the original to fit the modern sewer hose.

I haven't looked back on this one in a while, but man this thing is looking great! Seeing all the birch come together with the cool look outstanding! I bet you're itching to camp in it? I sure would be.
Keep up the great work!

This was written on the back of my original tin. I thought it was the style of metal but I saw where Modernistic made the Aljo campers, so maybe this lot of metal was intended for their shop.

i would love to see how you mounted and drained your ac. can you post some pics of that please ? We bought a portable A/C unit on wheels at a surplus store for 30.00. I do not have a picture of it on this computer. It sits in this closet. We used hard duct to vent the hot air and put a clear drain hose on the back of the unit for the condensation. Be sure you put an electrical outlet in the closet if you choose to do this. We built a wall next to the unit so it will not move. Save

This camper is gorgeous! Love it! When you say larger bumper for the hose, does it store inside the bumper?

I found an original 1966 Missouri trailer tag. Missouri will let you use this tag if the number is not in use by another vehicle. Bargman light purchased on ebay. Bracket is a new Bargman. License plate reflectors belonged to my dad. Rear bumper painted and mounted. I have been cleaning butyl around the trim. Aljo emblem installed.

You've done an outstanding job... Thanks for sharing all your pics and commentary. Gives me hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel...or trailer...

Tail Lights installed and they work as well as the running lights. That was a relief. The porch light is not working but it has power to it. I brought home a new bulb tonight even though the one in it looks good. We are going to try to pull the camper to the last local cruise night this weekend. Painted the door and worked on the front window awning tonight. Hope we make it.
