Hi All - We left Eastern Washington for Sunny central California. Used to be 'sunny' central CA was a joke and people would laugh as this region is infamous for it's fog. However, the temperatures are in the 60's and 70's and fog is currently minimal. We are here to continue the work on the RV...

Hi All - A new post with pictures is up on our blog.  https://wp.me/p1JNUa-MB We have the door installed, and four windows. We have the trim all caulked and are putting all our stuff in it to start heading South for warmer weather where we can continue construction. Hope this finds you all...

Here are some pics of the work.

We have/had a 1993 Minnie Winne and we just put on a new roof ourselves for well under 20K. We used 3/4" ply and purchased a new polyfiber roofing kit. You just buy the kit in the length you need for your roof. At our local RV shop, we bought the kit for 35' which included the roofing, the glue...

Hi Chuck - We drive up this route in June of this year with our class C 28' ( no toad). We had no trouble. There was some construction turning the 2 lane highway into a controlled shared single lane but not too many. I think we hit 3? Roads were in good shape. Hopefully the information is...

Exactly. Now we can stand in our living room and we can't touch the ceiling. It gives a wonderful feeling of spaciousness to the rig. Super excited to actually get this to a point where we are living in it again.

One of the biggest repairs any RV owner does with their class C is the cab-over. We redesigned ours. We flipped the curve. If you look at the picture of the original frame of the cab-over, you will notice that we got rid of the big swoop/that big angle in the front were the big ever-leaking...

LOL - Thank you. Interestingly enough, I did get curtains. We are changing the window configuration so we are not so much as a fishbowl on display. I picked up some neat sheers from World Market I am going to rip apart and combine into some nice curtains for Winnie.  :-)

Hi All - Updates: We got the walls finished and installed. We put in aluminum rods across the top of the rig to reinforce the ceiling and make the rig more stable. We got the curve of the cab-over done We also got snow and super cold temps for a week. Check out our progress on our blog. I...

Hi All - We have the two long walls done! We got them both done in a week. The second wall is curing right now and still needs to be trimmed but its built and will be installed onto our new floor and frame tomorrow. YAY! Now we have two days to get the back wall and ceiling in place in some...

Hi All - Updates. We had a windstorm up here in Eastern WA - gusts up to 55mph. The tarp-garage that we were using as cover almost blew away. We managed to save the tarp and the poles but no more cover. With the weather changing, we can no longer work outside. We found a wonderful kind person...

Hi All - We put the floor in today. We officially have a subfloor! Tomorrow will be spent extending the aluminum frame with bolts to fit our new length, and building the walls. We found a place to construct the walls indoors (which is absolutely necessary right now with the cold weather) and...

Hi All - What were the final results on this tiling job? We are looking to do something similar in our bathroom and wondering what worked and what didn't. Thanks! :-)

Daniel has the plumbing running under the floor in ducts. All traps he says will be under the floor with just the pipes needed to get to faucets going through the floor. We are using the current standard blue & red Pex water pipes with copper fittings. While being optimistic - the only place we...

Hi All - We have the aluminum down for the floor and the first layer of wood! The side frames are up but not yet extended to fit the new frame. All the pics are on our blog. You have no idea how excited I am to finally see the start of construction. Woo-Hoo! Of course, it's getting cold here in...
