No time for a real post, but I have to share some photos of the progress I’m making on sewing for the interior. Some of you saw the teaser to this post on Facebook–the photo I paid my daughter $1 to pose for, under a wool blanket in the heat!

LOVE!
Love, love, love it! Cheery and cozy…would never want to leave! Well done!

I know this was posted a year ago, but I wondered if you could tell me what brand your polka dot cushion fabric is?
I used this Premier Prints Polka Dot http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=60325c4c-fd49-44b5-9633-500691e3da71.
I had to sun-treat it with a spray because I think it would have faded otherwise.
I am looking at campers now, and I found one with veneer. Is painting on veneer difficult, or did you want to maintain the wood’s integrity? You are so creative, it’s inspiring!
Thanks! Wood veneer interior is more valuable than the the vinyl faux stuff in later trailers, and honestly I wouldn’t paint it for that reason. On my last trailer I had the vinyl and I painted it with a good all-surface primer underneath, but on this one it’s real wood veneer and I would not paint it for re-sale value, and also because I think the look of the real wood is just pretty and authentic. We sanded and used a stain to look similar to the original, then used a poly sealer to protect. Happy shopping!
Thank you!
Excellant workmanship. I’m impressed with your efforts on maintaining the original wood and giving it a new life.
Thanks for sharing. Just purchased one of the same model, so this will be a good idea guide.
oh how fun! Thanks for the compliment, and I hope you enjoy yours!
