Steps make it safer for all the kids going in and out of the trailer.


There will be lots of comings and goings from the camper door. The black stool or drop down step are not enough for everyone to enter and exit safely.

Thank goodness I have plenty of open space in the bed of the pick up truck to bring these steps along!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interior 110 ceiling lights installed



I asked the factory to not install the traditional 4' lights. I thought that would be too much for this smaller space. Instead they ran the wires from the wall switch and pulled them through the ceiling for me.

I picked closet lights with pull chains. This gave me a chance to test the whole electrical system. Everything is a go!

Rear half wall


Just need to add corner pieces around the cargo door but the FRP panels look nice in the back.

The next section of screening is ready to go up. A rainstorm chased me inside before completing!

Time and Temp?


When I sold the Scotty I let it go with a nice matching clock and thermometer. It fit perfect covering speaker holes.

Just used velcro to mount this matching pair up front.

Rear door screens



The screen was installed on the upper section. I'm using a track system I found at both Home Depot and Lowes. The cap is already in place on the upper section. The middle track has two slots so I can add the lower section screening and then cap that off too.

Easy to do. Track and cap are about $3.70 each and come in 8' lengths. Used pet screening as it will be stronger and it worked real well in Kate's convertible teardrop that we built several years ago.

Mattress cut up into cushions



The 6" Walmart memory foam mattress is nice. I gave it a few days to air out and removed the zippered cover. Just like the Scotty foam I used clamps and boards as a guide for cutting the queen bed into several sized cushions for the dinette area. Dinette by day, queen bed by night!

Paddy gives the set up two paws up.

Space for Fridge, tv, dvd player and radio




The fridge will be placed in front of the white partition. The tv, dvd player and radio will be mounted on the opposite side that was stained a nd spar urethaned.
