When I look back at some of the old pictures, previous posts in this thread for example, I see just how far things have come - and it gives me hope.
As I'm sure many have thought, this project has become much bigger than maybe anybody thought, myself included. I see no point in rushing things; this isn't a race. Enough effort has been invested that the right thing to do is to stay the course. Just because summer is right around the corner, that's no matter. We still have a TT. We still enjoy our home for it's own unique vacation resort qualities. The day will come when we can take our maiden voyage in Lil' Queeny.
We are fortunate in that we have the luxury of time, both to work on it, and to take the time needed to do it right - the way we want it.
These came the other day.
I'll check with a lock smith shop and get a new, better keyed lock for the one, and a matching lock for the other.
If you don't recall the plan, the single connection is the city water hookup. It's function allows for connecting, then closing and locking the hatch. Once connected, the camper has water supply. I'll use that fact for my fresh water tank fill, doing so from inside the camper as opposed to the traditional method of filling a fresh water tank from outside with some form of gravity fill.
The other is a hot and cold quick-connect hookup for an outside spray hose. I don't have to tell anyone how handy THAT can be.
Notice the fewer mounting holes on the "city water" unit? I expect I'll drill more holes, matching the pattern of the other.
Here's how they fit the interior space.
