Two months to street ready

It's been a LONG time since I've updated, but I'm working every day on Francesca and don't get enough time to upload pics and work on this blog.  I'll try to play some catch-up.  I may have to divide this into multiple posts until I get there.

Came back from my RV trip to Virginia Beach end of January and hit the road running on Francesca.  I've got 2 months to get her ready to take out for a shakedown trip before my Sisters on the Fly trip to Natural Bridge the end of April.  Man, I'm starting to feel the pressure!!

First step is getting the door finished.  I used all new wood except for the top piece.  They really used trashy wood for this camper!  Fill in all the spaces with styrofoam.  Reattach the aluminum skin and paint with a primer.  Finally, paint with the rusty brown, paint the trim parts with a hammered black, and install.



While Ted works on hooking up all the exterior running lights and rear lights, I decide to start on the galley cabinet--I just LOVE to tear things apart!!!  It was great to start rebuilding the cabinet to fit my needs better than the original!

Well, that's about it for tonight.  Will have to finish another time.
