| Not the correct style for the year; however, I like this type of light and they look amazing. |

| This is a photo of the sheet metal we used to cover the old fridge and water heater vents. We will put travel stickers in this section. |

| Windows are in...aren't they great? |

| Awning material bought from Joann's on sale |
 |
| Made a bunting for our friend who has a Shasta Compact |
 |
| Making the awning I had to resort to reading up on seam directions in my sewing manual |
 |
| Husband cut the scallops and I seamed them up with bias tape. Turned out well. |

| Adding curtains |
 |
| Made another bunting for my little girl to hang over her bunk bed |
 |
| Curtains and cushions all sewn by your author...it's a good thing ;-) |
 |
| This is the kitchen nearly finished. We camped with it at this stage. It will get aluminum trim for the front before the next trip. |

| The revised layout was a huge sucess! The adult bed is big enough to call a king size bed and the bunk above is certainly large enough for two small girls. |
Nice job on the restoration! Camping with alligators? Can't imagine that! Guess we have the same dangers here in AZ with snakes and scorpions. YIKES!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe just bought an old camper and are going to restore it a bit. Not quite as much as you did though! I would love to learn how you made the awning, how you attached it, what you used for poles to keep it up and how you store it when you are traveling.
ReplyDeleteHi, I made the awning by sewing flat felled seams on the outdoor fabric. Look this up on google images.
DeleteI made the scalloped edge by placing salad plates on the fabric and cutting around the curve with our rotary cutter.
The grommetts are just standard from wal-mart, although the ones from JoAnns are better quality.
The poles are purchased from Wal-Mart in the camping supplies (tent poles) and run about $10 each.
Use heavy duty thread and stripes are your friend for keeping everything straight. You can do it!
This is awesome!
