I got back earlier this week from a week of vacation and now that it's the weekend, it's time to put the Road Foamie away for a few months. Unless we have a real mild winter, I probably won't be camping until Spring. I did manage to get a few refinements done on Road Foamie and has been mentioned on this site many times, you're never really done...
This year's improvements:
1) a subtle accent (yellow on white) stripe above the blue skirt
2) an aluminum rock guard on the front
3) a box for the nose
4) some polyurethane coats in a couple places and some paint in some places
5) aluminum thresholds for the doors
6) beer tap system in place (works great, needs more testing though....
)
7) an improved galley door hold open system - still working on a couple minor issues)
8 an awning for the rear galley
9) chrome 14" wheels replacing the white 12" wheels
10) changed the bedspread and pillows (thank god... the old stuff my wife picked out looked like my grandma's bedsheets)
Here's a recent photo showing some of the improvements:
Next years improvements include:
1) a solar panel for battery charging
2) outdoor speakers (to be used judiciously and never to be a nuisance to other campers, I swear!)
3) additional shelves in the galley
4) aluminum edging for the beverage center door
