More progress- bed and fridge


Here's a nice shot of the Master Bedroom, in progress! David built new framing for the new bed 
(he used 1x3s because it is planned for 1/2" plywood... always thinking of keeping the trailer light).
As in other parts of the camper, this project resulted in a more structurally sound and happier camper.  
Plus, look at the beautiful colors and the lovely scroll work below the bed.  Look at the pretty white ceiling panel! Notice the storage cabinet for seldom-accessed things, 
behind a cubby for stowing frequently-accessed things. 


As a reminder, here is a BEFORE photo. Kind of dark.

And here was the demo phase, wherein we discovered extra water damage and had to do more framing than originally anticipated.  We replaced that batt insulation with rigid insulation.

Speaking of batt insulation, David also spiffed up the ice box.  It was formerly insulated with about 1/4" of fiberglass insulation and some cardboard.  I think that was just to hold the fiberglass in place.  After cleaning the ice box, David caulked or possible "Great Stuff-ed" the gaps around various parts of the ice box, and now it fits so well in its little wall space.

Here's a picture FROM the bedroom:

  1. Wonderful blog. I enjoyed reading your progress. Seeing your comment about adding more insulation around the fridge, made me think I should check and see what kind of insulation situation mine has. I will enjoy following your progress.
