Windows

Image
 I bought chicken coop windows - they were a quarter of the price of RV windows. They are sturdy, have a screen and a lock. They also fit perfectly snug. My buddy Dale and I tried to install the windows... twice. But we could not get through the steel. So I called Lopez Construction - a local company here in Taylor and Juan installed them in less than 2 hours - no problem! He did have to reinforce the front where the kitchen window is with two pieces of wood - there was too much of a hollow space there. Luckily I had some scrap 2 x 2's on hand. All the windows fit snugly. We used sealant on the inside creases of the windows when putting them in. And then clear sealant along the outside edges as well.  I love my windows! It really looks like a camper now.              On the inside there were quite a bit of gaps and hollows from cutting into the walls. I used spray foam and closed them up with 2x2's that framed the windows. Make sure you wear gloves with spray foam - it is beyon

Drawers

 These drawers were the hardest thing out of all I did for this camper. I can't count the amount of times I took them apart and put them back together.   Even so - you will notice that the front drawer is not on a track. NOPE. I trimmed it too small and the tracks wouldn't catch. I was not going to go through all that again - it slides in and out just fine without a track. I used leftover pieces of wood and painted them. Yes, they are mismatched. No, I don't care.
