INTERIOR FINISHED:

Can you find the leather used as wood trim?

[Miriam C.]

I looked and looked but couldn't see the leather. Great idea and I think I will borrow it.

So now that you have perfected your conversion whats next?

[ARIZONA GUIDE]

I am thinking the dark color on the door corners and maybe the dark color on the chair rail.

[Prem]

Auntie M,

The leather is where round meets square in the last photo.

What next? Go camping when it stops raining and work on that other trailer.

And you?

AZG,

Half correct. The "hand rail" is a solid mahogany towel bar. (Location is a bit tasteless, but hey, it only fit in that location and it was 50 cents at the Goodwill.)

Can you find the "scalp scratcher?"

The best LED light I got was a flat panel of LEDs that replaces an 1156 or 1141 incandescent bulb in a standard RV 12-volt DC light fixture. It puts out more light than the round bulbs with more LEDs because it aims all of them straight down.

You can see it in the last interior photo I posted.

Just wearing out a chain saw......... I noticed you blinds. Haven't seen any like that before. Do you have details on them. Thanks for letting me know about the leather. Very nice.

Scalp scratcher is great too. Fraid it really would be in mine.

[ARIZONA GUIDE]

I think those blinds are the ones made to cover the roof vents to block the sun out. Atleast that is what they came for on my travel trailer. Very good use of them in your Trailer though.

[Prem]

Aunti M and AZ,

Thanks.

Actually, the blinds are the kind you get in an auto parts store with the clear suction cups to stick on your vehicle's side windows. They are on spring-loaded rollers to easily go up and down and they have perforations to let a little bit of light in. I just removed the suction cups and mounted them on a strip of aluminum above my trailer's windows. (Got 'em for a buck apiece at a close-out store.)
