One More Weekend Off...

I'm taking one more weekend off of working on Eddie. Two reasons, snow and DISNEY WORLD. Only taking a long weekend trip to Mouseland, so Eddie is staying home. We are traveling in the metal tube with wings.


Next time we go, Eddie gets to go too. We'll be checking out the Fort Wilderness Campground to get a preview.















Next weekend, the plan is complete the repair on the cabover, pull up the carpet and maybe get the flooring in.

Til next time...

Pictorial Guide to RVing

Great book! - Loaded with pictures of vintage postcards. Have to keep an eye out at antique shops and go through the postcards. I never realized there were so many. Thanks Dave!

Eddie's water tight.

Stopped by and checked Eddie out, completely dry from the small leak at the running light. Four more days until the RV Show, can't wait.

Cleaning - Day 2

My buddy Dave came over for Day 2 of the initial cleaning process. Dave took care of removing everything from the walls, prepping for the new panelling.
The bathroom, minus the medicine cabinet, soap and toothbrush trays.
While Dave was doing that, I was tackling the cabover. Boy do I hate mouse crap. I never felt as dirty as I did cleaning that up. Everytime I touch something up there, mouse turds came raining down. I removed all of the insulation and vacuumed up the crap.
Its going to take a strong bleach solution before I put that back together again. I figure only $20 to $30 for that repair. We also corrected a small leak from a broken running light on top on the passenger side.
Next week, the RV Show in Chicago.

Cleaning begins

Began the cleaning process today. Lots of mouse sh*t everywhere. Dave did a hell of a job getting it all up. Some damage in the cabover from mouse piss. Will have to replace the wood, thankful that it has a steel frame. On the exterior, straightened the aluminum that was damaged from a crowbar. Apparently, someone tried to break in on the previous owners.
