Thanks for the kind words and intrest. As this is my first RV things may move slowly because of weather (been raining for days) finances are tight and I may seem to know what I'm doing but I learn by doing. Been that way my whole life. With the internet as a valuable resourse it's made me more confident to tackle difficult projects. My father died young and was blind & he never was able to teach me much so as an older man now, I've had to figure things out sometimes the hard way.
The more I look at older coaches that are in great shape the more I'm disappointed in mine. I know it was a good deal but the layout bothers me and have been contemplating changing things up. For instance it's not a pass-through bathroom so it has a big wall at the edge of the galley. Makes it look much smaller inside than it really is! And the dinette is pathetic. It's a tiny "L" shaped unit that houses the converter underneath and has wasted storage space under it. Just not to practical. But a traditional "booth" make take too much room.
Also that table spins around and moves in and out to adjust but has no FIXED position. No locking mechanism to keep in place. Just spins freely.
I think I'm going to make a hide away TV stand or mount if room allows behind the couch/bed. The pittiful bathroom and bedroom need a complete overhaul. Not sure if I will construct new cornice's out of crown molding or try to utelize the existing window treatments. It's overwhelming what needs to be done to materialize my vision of the living space. Don't know if I've posted any bath or bedroom pics so this is the "ugly" I need to cure! LOL
My boxer Lucy likes it but she's not much help
