Re: B+ motorhomes
Bob, Oops, I mean Gary, You DO seem as good as Bob Villa! Sorry about the medicine cabinet question...it was on another post where someone installed a larger one. My unit has a very small medicine cabinet and a lot of empty wall space. That's something that just begs for replacing...332Views0likes0CommentsRe: B+ motorhomes
Gary, What do you use to anchor items to wall of motorhome? I want to remove the original medicine cabinet and replace it with a larger one, but I'm worried about getting it secure enough. I sure don't want to be driving down the road and have medicine cabinet crash to the floor!332Views0likes0CommentsRe: B+ motorhomes
Gary, I got nearly done (not upholstry-that's the last step) and went back to 22" for the new section of the seating. After I put the cushions in place on the back, the new seat was too narrow for comfort. Luckily, the cushion I had cut down to 20" can be cut down further for my last back cushion! I got pedestal for my new table, with a short 12" pedestal for converting to a bed. I really wanted to put bins under the new seat, but got over-ruled...the dog's bed gets to go there! Fortunately, he is a small dog. Anyway, thanks again for the great ideas.332Views0likes0CommentsRe: B+ motorhomes
Gary. I went ahead and cut mine down to 20" also. It looks better now, more in proportion. My husband has been out of town, so my renovations were a surprise to him...And he liked it! I haven't done all the detail work yet, I wanted to be sure it passed the spouse approval test. I have to order fabric from Gulfstream. Tonight I found perfect wood for table top portion...it's butcher block. I'm not going to bother with making a nice table for the portion under the new seat. If I ever feel the need for that much table area, I'll drag the original out of storage. I am thinking of making two bins to go under the new seat area. We would just pull them out to acess them. At last, a place for all the shoes! I am always looking for things to do to camper...this is my favorite. I really think it has improved the livability and will be really cute when I get the upholstry done. Thanks.328Views0likes0CommentsRe: B+ motorhomes
It is manufactured by R-Vison. You can go to their website at www.trail-lite.com. I bought the Gulfstream BT Cruiser, but looked at the Trial Lite very seriously. We are in process of selling our Trial Lite travel trailer that we really love. In NADA try R-vision and Trail Lite. Good luck.328Views0likes0CommentsRe: B+ motorhomes
Gary, Already have the remodel underway... How deep did you make the new cushion area of your U-shaped seat? The cushion I purchased is 22" deep. It seems pretty comfortable, but before I upholster it I thought I would get your input. With the 22" depth I have only 14" for a small table. However, I'm not sure how much difference 2" will make. I am also pretty sure that mostly we will use it as seating area...My little Westie has aready given it his seal of approval.328Views0likes0CommentsRe: B+ motorhomes
Gary, What a fabulous idea for the dinette. I have the Gulfstream BT Cruiser with a sofa and dinette. I had been feeling sort of bad that I didn't get the 2 sofas...but you have figured out how to get the best of both worlds. I am going to go out and look at mine with your creative idea as a place to start! The pictures are great. Thanks.328Views0likes0CommentsRe: B+ motorhomes
I am trying to decide which way to go! I have found a Trail Lite 211S with the Chevy 8.1 engine like Daniels. I am trying to decide whether I would rather have that or a BT Cruiser with slide and Ford V10 engine. I love to drive! I really wanted the 8.1 engine, and I will be towing sometimes, either light weight travel trailer, spare car or a boat. What I don't like about the Trail Lite is the real entrance door, wet bath and quality issues. However, I really seldom shower in unit, usually use camp facilities unless it is really cold or rainy. The BT Cruiser is prettier and has side entrance. What are your thoughts?458Views0likes0CommentsRe: B+ motorhomes
I found this information on a website for van conversions: "Federal Motor Vehicles Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 was set by the Department of Transportation in 1992 to reduce the injuries caused during collisions involving van conversions. Van conversions created after 1992 must have all seating and tables locked down to the floor. Also, captain's chairs can no longer swivel. Adapters are available for pre-1992 vehicles" That seems to mess up that idea!425Views0likes0Comments
