Started working on the camper again.
I took a metal single folding step that I got at harbor freight and cut about 2 inches off the legs and now i have a very nice 15 dollar step so I can enter the camper.
I cut the plastic surround finisher to length for the ceiling exhaust fan
I decided I need to finish the trailer tail light wiring. Hook up the 7 pin cable and box. Plug it into the truck and no running lights. Got brakes and blinkers but running no running lights. Started testing and found I must have put a screw into that wire. I did find one spot but it still seams to be an issue. Now I have to track down the short.

I got the 54 out of storage today. Summer is here and I don't care what the rest of you say but I have to believe the good weather is here now. Winter was to long in Minnesota.
I did some work on the 58. -Go the door catch attached -Got the bunk bed brackets back up -Started polishing the metal on the wings. I have the original wings. I now just need to polish and put them back together. I have to get all the silicone off the metal.
Had to get the house ready for easter so didn't much more accomplished.
Everyone have a good easter tomorrow.

I haven't done an update in a while.
I now have the 110 volt wiring done, cleaned up the wiring and got it all put away. So the 110 and 12 volt wiring looks good.
Got the outside water box installed and the inside water box figured out as well as the grey water tank.
Started cleaning up the underside of the camper and got the curbside wheel well trim on.
Put another floor support under the door walkway to firm up the floor.
Things left to do: - trim the inside dining side windows - trim the joints inside - finish the fresh water and grey water - gas lines - test the stove, oven, heater and gas light - finish the trim on the streetside - paint the underside and tongue - put up the curtain rods - get my wife to do her magic and sew new curtains - get the bed cut and installed - install a battery box - wife wants me to put new laminate on
Forgot the most important item, install the wings
I am out of picture space so no pictures to post.

Ruffed in the fresh water pipes and pump. Polished the old faucet. Figured out how I wired for the pump. That seemed to take most of the night.

Got the fresh water tank installed, the fresh water lines clamped with the pex tool, drilled some holes in the floor for the grey water line. Hope to be able to test it out with a couple more hours of work.

Tonight I worked on the old floor heater but didn't seem to get it started or working. So I moved the the oven/stove and that lit right up. I then worked on the base for the stove/oven and then got busy doing something else.
Things left to do: - trim the inside dining side windows - trim the joints inside - gas lines - test the heater and gas light - finish the trim on the streetside - paint the underside and tongue - put up the curtain rods - get my wife to do her magic and sew new curtains - get the bed cut and installed - install a battery box - wife wants me to put new laminate on - fix the screen door - sew the vinyl for the benches - put fake bottoms in the upper cabinets and the cabinet over the dinette - hang the scissor jacks under the camper

I agree with you about the list... I keep my list in my Alexa list on my phone and as the completed list grows the list of things to do never really gets shorter. Maybe one day it will... Debra

Fixed the screen door and screen door middle slide section and got it reglued. Now putting shellac on it. Got the wood that I am going to use to cover the gaps in the walls and ceilings sanded and ready to shellac Got the gas light working and fixed the leaky brand new hose I bought, got a new hose. took about 2 hours and cleaned out all my tools, extra parts, wire, gas fitting, water fittings, old bed, vacuumed and got it cleaned up inside.
Everything seems to take twice as long to do this year versus 2 years ago. I think everyone is getting old and not able to keep up anymore. I am glad I am not one of them......!!!!!

How did the scissor jacks install go? I was thinking about putting some on my Airflyte. Would love to see a few photos on where you install exactly and how they work out after you have used them
