Awning in action!

We went to the rally in St.Malo MB. This is a picture of the Boler with the awning up. It was a hit!
We had an excellent time and met some great people! Can't wait to go again next year!

More Progress More Updates

I've been busy for the past few days. I now have a working converter.
I've hooked up the new LED lights on the upper cabinets.
I also installed a porch light with an interior switch. (I've really wanted one of these since I saw someone else do it. It's very cool!)

The cabinet doors have also been painted a lovely teal? robins egg? - Oh whatever color it is...It does seem to match the stripes on my interior fabric perfectly though! 

BOLER VIRTUAL TOUR

THE APPROACH - AIN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL
View from the door.
The cabinets - Still have some finishing touches to add IKEA GOODIES..
OH YEA! That's the light switch for the porch light!
TABLE / BED area. LOVE THE FABRIC & CURTAINS!
UM the other side of the amazing Table / BED area

Lights (those are 24 LEDs up in there) Luckily the light is just right I was thinking it would look like close encounters when both of these lights were on....
 
The light over the table - These lights are stainless and waterproof (marine style)











Well that wraps up the tour for now. Tomorrow I have to take out all the curtains and cushions so they can work on the windows again... It's a BOLER thing=)

NEW WINDOWS! Well sort of...

I've been preparing for new windows in the Boler for some time. The old ones were yellowed and cracked. They also leaked... So I ordered new gaskets and lockstrip from Scamp travel trailers.
I was going to take this project on as a DIY, but later chickened out and had an auto glass company install them for me.

The good news - They look amazing, they don't leak, they are really clear, and I opted for Lexan which is suppose to be much stronger than plexi.

The bad news - I went out in a rain storm the other night. I was checking for leaks...there were none..BUT the front window has a small crack in the lower left corner of the window :(

I'm wondering if the window may have been too tight? Or possibly the weight of the upper bunk caused issues when I reinstalled it?

At any rate this Lexan stuff is not suppose to crack. So back it goes tomorrow for a replacement window. The guys at the auto glass place have been really great to work with.

A photo - Just cause...they really are a thing of beauty =)
