Lookin' good

I am still behind schedule on my updates.  Over the last few weeks, the floor has gone in. This was an adventure.  I didn't buy much extra so I had to be careful with my cuts.  Luckily the only place I shorted the vinyl is hidden by the back gaucho bed. The trim cleaned up nicely with a little soap, water and steel wool.  I did not go for bright aluminum, just clean. You may also notice the walls are painted.  I know may will feel this ruins the camper, but we wanted to it feel open and light.  The ceiling will be stained, so we are mixing the old with the new.

Cabinets are painted to match the walls.  The drawer fronts will be an accent color but I am not sure what it is yet.  

Getting plywood that will bend easily has been a challenge for me.  I special ordered some at Home Depot.  The stuff bends very easily, but the surface quality is ok at best.  I am going to try and sand it smooth once it is all in but I believe I will have to get some veneer if I want a stain-able surface.  I am sure there is 1/4" plywood out there with a nice surface, but I couldn't find any locally and I did not want to deal with wetting and warming the wood to bend it.  The Gaucho Bench is now in.  There will be 2 drawers in the middle for storage. I have the sliding top planned but I will wait to put it in after I get my skins on and the new water filler installed.  I am pretty sure that I am going to need to put a bump on the right side wall for the filler.

Yesterday I got the upper cabinet built.  Here you can see it in temporary position.  I need to add a shelf in the right hand side door.  I will be filling all my staple holes and painting it this weekend. If you are wondering, I have been building the cabinetry with pocket screws, glue and staples.

I have also started on my electrical wiring.  My power center is at the floor left of the fridge.  The 12V wiring is run around but not hooked up yet.  I still need to install the 110V wiring.  Next up, I will be adding all of the cross member framing to the roof and deciding where the roof fan will go.

Cheers!
