Here's the Game Plan

It's winter now, actually Christmas Eve and I have a few minutes to spare to share the "game plan."  I've got alot to accomplish next year, but little by little should get her done!  So, in addition to the interior repairs I listed previously, here is the rest of my "to do list". 

1.  Remove propane only refrigerator, measure opening and replace with an electric fridge.  The RV refrigerators are too pricey, so will find an apartment or dorm room type fridge.  Will add some framing so that it won't "walk" around while I'm towing.  If I dry camp, an ice chest will work fine.  I usually camp where there are hook ups anyway.  Check out the Magic Chef oven/stove combo and pray that it works.
2.  Remove the funky Monomatic toilet (ugh).  If there is room to fit a blackwater tank, great, if not, we'll just attach a fitting for a sewer hose and I'll use full hookups when I can.  The Monomatic is a poop/pee chewing toilet with it's own tank of yuck that chews and recirculates the waste...(ugh again).
Install a new toilet. Yay.
3.  Remove the pressurized water system (most of it has been disconnected) and put in a new plastic water tank and 12 volt water pump with new water lines.  Also need to install a faucet and street water inlet.  Currently there is only a hand pump thingey. 
4.   Sew covers for the new dinette cushions.  I've already purchased nice quality replacement foam for the dinette cushions so it will be comfey to sleep on if I have a guest on board!
5.  Remove, clean and paint the cupboard/drawer pulls.
6.  Sew lined curtains for the front windows.  I put bamboo curtains around the dinette and galley areas.  They look tiki-esque!
7.  Remove lower skins and replace wood rot.  Hope it's not going to be too ugly...but...we have a feelling that it will be.  This could take months, depending on other projects we will be working on in 2012.
8. The ugly part...strip off all the silicone goop that was placed on all exterior screws, windows, eyebrows, everywhere you can imagine..horrible job ahead of us.  Then clean and putty the windows.
8.  Prep and paint the trailer...this will take quite a while...so I won't hold my breath!  After paint, will use Tiki template to add Tiki touches to exterior. 
9.  Prior to her maiden voyage...check out brakes, tires, hitch, wiring, etc.
10.  Find hubcaps to fit. 
11.  Tackle whatever other task comes up, which always does. 
HAVE FUN ALONG THE WAY!
