I've used this type of film in my house too. I had some frosted film left over and used it on the garage window in my son's new home. Let's the daylight in but you can't see in. I think I'm going to put new cabinet doors over the dinette/booth and I may cut out the center and put glass or plexiglass in. If I do, I'll use the rest of the stained glass film to cover it. Gotta get my money's worth out of it. ;)

After going back and forth with wanting, not wanting to refurbish my Scotty, I've decided to sell it. I listed it on Ebay today and hopefully will get it sold. In the meantime, I am happy to say I am the proud new owner of an another old Scotty...a 1977 Scotty Highlander trunkback! This one is in perfect condition - no wood rot anywhere and it's a little bigger than my other one. I've enclosed a few pictures. I'm trying to download the interior photos but having some glitches. It is perfect! I went look at it today and made him an offer. He/they will store it until I sell my other Scotty.

It has a real bathroom/shower, an RV rooftop A/C, a furnace, a water heater, gray and black water tanks, a 30 gal. fresh water tank, a fold down bunk, a dinette and a trunk. I'm very pleased with my purchase...yeah!! :)

Thanks Sharon! I'm not sure of the weight but it is 18' long from tongue to bumper, where my other Scotty is 15'. I'm pulling it with my 2008 Ford Escape SUV 6 cyl. I don't think I'll have a problem. This new/old one has brakes so I gotta get that set up on my Escape. Also gotta get the wiring harness changed...SUV has a 4 flat, Scotty has a 7 round. I am so excited Sharon! I still love the one I have but I just find myself not wanting to spend the time fixing it. I want to spend my time camping instead. ;)

Congrats! yer movin' on up! The Escape should do fine. I towed a 15 footer thru the Rockies last year with a Ranger V-6 with no concern.

Ya know, you gotta add yer own personal touches to the interior

Kelsey, Miriam, thank you! I already have an offer on my other Scotty!! Brian and I went outside and measured the driveway and he said he's going to add 8' on the side so I can keep it out of the driveway and he can finally park without having to move out of the way for me (I stay in the garage) 8)

Brian's excited that I will have one I won't need to do a thing to but he hasn't mentioned going camping with me. He's such a home-body! But that's ok...I like "me" time away and secretly, so does he. ;)

Yes I am! I can't wait to make it my own. Whoever had this (they are 3rd owners) sure took care of it. Bob and Carla, present owners, installed an RV A/C on the roof that will freeze you out. It has so much stuff...I love stuff!
