1969 Hi Lo Bon Voyage 209 overhaul

Post some pictures when you get it on the road; would love to see the finished product..

Well today I only have one picture, most of what I did was under the trailer. I rewired the running lights and brake lights. I also welded the flip down stabilizer jacks and and fixed the ball mount where it was cracked. I also painted the light fixtures while I had them off for painting.



Getting tires put on tomorrow, and it's pretty much ready for camping. Still plenty to do, but now I can take it camping in between working on it.

Thanks, they had a redder one that would have matched the cabinet doors better, but it didn't have the bull-nose edge and looked much cheaper. 6ft of counter top was the perfect size, cut it down to size on the table saw, then ironed ends on it to hide the mdf base. It was good practice for doing the kitchen countertops, the only part of the kitchen that hasn't been remodeled yet.

Love the color and pattern of the counter tops with the cabinets.

Countertops are in!

Looking nicer on each step!

I love seeing the progress! You're doing a great job!

Looks so clean and fresh inside. A liitle paint can change the entire look of the inside of an RV. When we renovated the Winnie we had a problem saying "It's done".

Paint was dry this morning and looks pretty good. The guy at lowes apparently mixed the wrong color, it was supposed to be a shade darker, but it's close enough. Semi-gloss so it will be easy to wipe off when it gets dirty.

Got all the sanding done, and the first coat of paint on this evening after work. It's already looking a lot bigger inside.









I actually have three coats on now, just finished cleaning up, but it was too dark for pictures, so I'll take them tomorrow.
